Summary created out of 126 reviews

De Kleine Wereld is a small-scale, child-friendly campsite with a strong holiday atmosphere and beautiful natural surroundings. Guests praise the cosy bistro with a terrace overlooking the natural playground, the heated swimming pool, and the brand-new, clean sanitary facilities with spacious family showers. The location near the Appelbergen nature reserve offers beautiful walking and cycling routes, with the city of Groningen nearby. Points of criticism concern the cramped camping pitches (especially in high season), the high prices in the bistro with a limited menu, and occasionally sloppy service where orders take a long time or are delivered incorrectly.

    A lovely, spacious campground. It’s a beautiful and peaceful campground surrounded by greenery. The campsites are separated from one another by shrubs and trees, creating a private atmosphere. The restrooms and swimming pool are excellent. There’s a large, attractively decorated terrace with a bistro offering an appealing menu. In short, a wonderful place to camp.

    Mooi ruim opgezette camping. Het is een fraaie en rustige camping omgeven door groen. De velden zijn van elkaar gescheiden door struikgewas en bomen waardoor een besloten sfeer ontstaat. Het sannitair en zwembad is top. Er is een groot en sfeervol ingericht terras. Met een bistro met een aantrekkelijk menu. Kortom een fijne plek om te kamperen.

    The pool is nicely heated, which means you can still enjoy swimming outdoors well into September. Clean and modern restroom facilities, and nice, spacious, level campsites. The bistro offers plenty of choices.

    Lekker verwarmt zwembad wat maakt dat je nog in september prima kan zwemmen buiten. Schoon en modern toiletgebouw, mooie ruime en vlakke staamplaatsen. Bistro heeft voldoende keuze.

    We had a wonderful family weekend at the campground. There were about 30 adults and 12 kids in our group. From start to finish, I had a pleasant experience dealing with the campground staff, and they were very accommodating. The campers had their own camping field, and those who wanted to stay in a cabin were welcome to do so. Fresh rolls in the … morning and our own campfire in the evening. There was plenty for the little ones to do: lots of entertainment and a lovely heated pool. On Saturday, we had the Tarp next to the bistro all to ourselves. There, we could grab a snack, a drink, and play a game—and occasionally take shelter from a few raindrops. The campground is well-organized, and the restrooms are clean and luxurious. We didn’t get around to exploring the surrounding area, but we’ll save that for next time. We’ll definitely be back.

    Wij hebben een heerlijk familieweekend op de camping gehad. We waren met ca. 30 volwassenen en 12 kids. Van begin tot einde heb ik prettig contact gehad met de camping en werd er met ons meegedacht. De kampeerders hadden een eigen kampeerveld en degene die in een huisje wilden, konden daar terecht. 's Ochtends verse broodjes en 's avonds een eigen kampvuur. Voor de kleintjes was er genoeg te doen; veel vermaak en een heerlijk verwarmd zwembad. Op zaterdag hadden wij de Tarp naast de bistro tot onze beschikking. Hier konden we terecht voor een hapje, drankje en een spelletje. En af en toe schuilen voor een regendruppel. De camping is goed georganiseerd en het campingsanitair is schoon en luxe. Aan het ontdekken van de omgeving zijn wij niet toegekomen, maar dat bewaren we voor een volgende keer. We komen zeker een keer terug.

    A great campground for families with kids up to about 10–12 years old. The restroom building is new and there are plenty of spacious (family) showers—great! There’s a swimming pool, which is a nice bonus for the kids, but during extremely hot weather, it’s way too small for the number of guests staying at the campground. The (craft) program is … sometimes free and fun for little ones, but most of the time there’s a fee starting at 7.50 euros to participate in an activity. Too bad! There’s also a restaurant with a wide variety of food.
    The campsites aren’t very spacious; if you bring a small side tent, it can get a bit of a squeeze. The town of Haren is 3 km from the campground and has plenty of shops as well as a few restaurants. You can find everything you need there—great.
    In summary, a beautiful, fresh, and well-maintained campground with plenty of amenities. But it’s quite pricey and fairly commercial.

    Fijne camping voor gezinnen met kids tot ongeveer 10-12 jaar. Sanitairgebouw is nieuw en er zijn genoeg ruime (familie)douches, top. Er is een zwembad wat een fijne bijkomstigheid voor de kids is, maar bij extreem warm weer is het veel te klein voor het aantal gasten wat er op de camping staat. Het (knutsel) programma is soms gratis en leuk voor kleintjes, maar t meeste van de tijd wordt er een bedrag vanaf 7,50 euro gevraagd om iets te kunnen maken. Jammer! Ook is er een restaurant waar je veel kunt krijgen.
    De kampeerplaatsen zijn niet heel ruim, kom je met een bijzettentje dan wordt het al puzzelen. Het dorp Haren is 3 km van de camping vandaan en heeft veel winkels en ook wat restaurants. Alles wat je nodig hebt kun je er vinden, top.
    Samengevat een mooie, frisse en nette camping met veel faciliteiten. Maar best prijzig en behoorlijk commercieel ingesteld.

    The location is beautiful, with a gorgeous pool and play areas for children. The campground and bistro have a very modern look! Service at the bistro was a bit slow, and the food was a bit pricey for what you get. The simple snacks were the best!
    Nice atmosphere on the campsites. The sites are a bit on the small side.

    Locatie is prachtig, prachtig zwembad en speelgelegenheden voor kinderen. Uiterlijk camping en bistro helemaal van deze tijd! Service in bistro wat aan de trage kant en het eten wat aan de dure kant voor wat er ervoor krijgt. De simpele happen waren het beste!
    Fijne sfeer op de campeervelden. Plekken wat aan de kleine kant.
