Summary created out of 151 reviews
This campsite is beautifully located in the dunes, directly by the beach and within walking distance of the village De Koog. Guests appreciate the unique location and the privacy offered by the dune pitches. Sanitary facilities are cleaned regularly and well distributed across the site. Staff are often described as friendly and helpful. However, there are some concerns: the price is considered high, the parking area is often full, and some sanitary buildings are dated and can be busy during high season.

Beautiful location; the restrooms are clean and modern.
We stayed for two nights in a tent. First on D37, one of the few spots from which you can see the sea and the sunset. It’s quite exposed to the wind, though, so after being blown around all night, we moved to a nice sheltered spot just below it on D35. With wind force 7, that was definitely more comfortable.

Prachtige locatie, sanitair is schoon en modern.
Wij hebben 2 nachtjes overnacht met een tentje. Eerst op D37, 1 van de weinige plekken vanaf waar je de zee kan zien en de zonsondergang. Hij staat alleen wel vol in de wind, dus na een nacht wegwaaien verplaatst naar een mooi beschut plekje net eronder D35. Met windkracht 7 was dat toch fijner.

Unfortunately, groups of 5 boys accompanied by 1 adult are not welcome. There’s no mention of this on the website, but you’re turned away immediately upon arrival! You don’t even get the benefit of the doubt or a chance to prove that things could work out. Outrageous!! Either post this on the website or ask for birthdates during the booking … process. We were looking forward to the beautiful location and our vacation, only to be turned away immediately after a 3-hour drive. Once again, scandalous!

Helaas niet welkom als jeugdige groep van 5 jongens inclusief 1 volwassenen. Hierover staat niks aangegeven op de website, maar word je bij aankomst meteen weggestuurd! Je krijgt niet eens het voordeel can de twijfel of de kans om te bewijzen dat het wel goed kan gaan. Schandalig!! Zet dit dan op de website of vraag naar geboortedata tijdens het boeken. Nu verheugd op de mooie lokatie en vakantie om na 3 uur reizen meteen te worden weggestuurd. Nogmaals schandalig!

Nice campground, though the restrooms aren't always very clean. That might have more to do with the people using the restrooms than with the cleaning.

Fijne camping, alleen de toiletten zijn niet altijd even fris. Dat heeft mogelijk meer te maken met klanten op het toilet dan de schoonmaak.

A lovely campground with something for everyone. There are sites in the dunes with electricity, and you can choose one close to a beach access point—or not. The restroom facilities are great. It’s nice that they have a dishwashing station. It’s cleaned frequently.

Mooie camping voor ieder wat wils. Plekken in de duinen met stroom, kan dichtbij een strandopgang, hoeft niet. Toiletgebouw prima. Fijn dat ze spoelmachine hebben. Wordt vaak schoongemaakt.
