Klein Vink Holiday Park

This was our second time there. Once in a chalet and once camping. We really enjoyed both. The restrooms are cleaned several times a day, which was very nice. Soap and toilet paper are “always” available.
We never had to bring our own. The snacks at the snack bar were delicious, and the soft-serve ice cream was to die for—we’d even make a day trip there just for that. The little store really has almost everything you need.
The team at the service point was very friendly and helpful, but unfortunately, they were very hard—if not impossible—to reach by phone. We’d appreciate it if, starting at 10 p.m., security could check in on things at the lake and on the street there, because the teenagers are very loud and really bellow and scream.
Oh, and the pebbles on the paths at the campground are really annoying. They kick up dust when cars have to drive over them, get stuck under your shoes, and make it very unsafe to walk on them.
All in all, though, we’d be happy to come back.

We stayed for a week at the Landal/Roompot (?) Résidence Klein Vink. For 1,693 euros, I had expected better:

- Making the reservation in advance was difficult. Landal’s system was migrated to Roompot, which resulted in me receiving a cancellation email but no further follow-up.... I needed the Roompot app to view my reservation, but the Landal app to see the entertainment schedule.
- There’s trash and cigarette butts everywhere. Given the drought and fire hazard (a forest fire was raging just 20 minutes away), I really can’t understand why there are no signs or enforcement. There were even metal stakes on the lawn by the swimming pond—simply dangerous with all those bare children’s feet.
- There were even cigarette butts in the garden and on the patio of our cottage.
- As you can see in the photos, a number of things in the cottage are simply not up to par. We reported this halfway through our vacation, and we were promised that someone would come by. But that never happened.
- The entertainment. We only participated in the mini-disco with Koos, which normally lasts 30 minutes, followed by a 10-minute meet-and-greet with Koos. On several days, the mini-disco lasted only 15 to 20 minutes: they sometimes started late and only played a few songs. Some entertainers didn’t even do their own little dances. The entertainment director said the duration depends on the number of children, but apparently even 15 minutes was enough for 20 kids. (I just don’t see how the length of a mini-disco should depend on the number of kids?)
Kudos to Ilona, though—she did a great job.

In short, a disappointing experience for us. We had expected better quality.
Good to know: we didn’t have air conditioning in cottage 337c, and the Wi-Fi didn’t work upstairs.

A very nice park for the summer. The lake is great for splashing around, swimming, and stand-up paddleboarding.
There are cottages right on the water—some with kayaks and others with their own dock.
Some of the cottages are quite old.
Since Landal merged with Roompot, prices have gone up significantly.
