Summary created out of 122 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.

I think it's a nice campground if you like camping—it's definitely in an ideal location, just a short walk to the ocean. It's nice that the sites aren't crammed together; there are little hidden nooks, so you have plenty of privacy.

A warm welcome. We had a beautiful spot in the dunes. The shower facilities were nice and clean and well-spaced throughout the campground, so there was always one nearby. Within walking distance of the village and some nice beach pavilions.

Vriendelijke ontvangst. We hadden een prachtig plekje in de duinen. Mooie schone douchegebouwen en goed verdeeld over de camping, dus altijd wel eentje dichtbij. Op loopafstand van het dorp en leuke strandpaviljoens.

Overall, the campground is beautifully located and has a lot to offer families. The campsites are neat and the atmosphere is pleasant. However, there are also a few areas that, in our opinion, could be significantly improved.
What we really missed was a small supermarket on the campground, like the ones found at many Dutch campgrounds. Unfortunately, you can’t get fresh rolls or other small items at reasonable prices here. Instead, there’s only the bistro. There, every roll costs €1.50, regardless of the type. The other prices are also quite high: a can of soda costs about €3, and a simple popsicle also costs around €3. The food itself is okay, but on the pricey side.
Another downside is the restroom facilities. They’re clearly showing their age and are often dirty, especially on weekends. You do see cleaning staff once or twice a day, and things are clean afterward. In my opinion, however, this isn’t enough given the number of guests, since the restrooms are already heavily soiled again by noon. Some of the waste bins in the restrooms were so overflowing that you had to force hygiene items into them.
The biggest point of criticism, however, is the indoor play area. The climbing frame is really great and offers children a fun activity when the weather is bad. Unfortunately, it apparently wasn’t cleaned even once during our entire stay (10 days). Starting on the very first day, there was hair, lint, leaves, pens, and other debris scattered everywhere. The restrooms in this area were also in very varying conditions. I took photos of the changing table and changing pad—they were anything but hygienic. Anyone traveling with a baby or toddler should keep this in mind.
It’s particularly disappointing that we pointed out these issues to the front desk as early as the second day of our stay. Unfortunately, nothing had changed by the time we left. Especially with a problem concerning cleanliness and hygiene, we would have liked to see a prompt response.
It’s a shame, because with a little more attention to cleanliness and hygiene, the campground could really be impressive. As it stands, however, we’re unfortunately left with a rather poor overall impression.this is a translation, click here for the original
Insgesamt ist der Campingplatz schön gelegen und bietet einiges für Familien. Die Stellplätze sind ordentlich und die Atmosphäre ist angenehm. Allerdings gibt es auch einige Punkte, die aus unserer Sicht deutlich verbessert werden sollten.
Was uns sehr gefehlt hat, ist ein kleiner Supermarkt auf dem Campingplatz, wie man ihn von vielen niederländischen Campingplätzen kennt. Frische Brötchen oder andere Kleinigkeiten zu normalen Preisen bekommt man hier leider nicht. Stattdessen gibt es nur das Bistro. Dort kostet jedes Brötchen 1,50 €, unabhängig von der Sorte. Auch die übrigen Preise sind recht hoch: Eine Getränkedose kostet etwa 3 €, ein einfaches Wassereis ebenfalls rund 3 €. Das Essen selbst ist in Ordnung, preislich aber eher gehoben.
Ein weiterer Minuspunkt sind die Sanitärgebäude. Sie sind deutlich in die Jahre gekommen und besonders an den Wochenenden oft schmutzig. Zwar sieht man ein- bis zweimal täglich Reinigungskräfte, danach ist es auch sauber. Meiner Meinung nach reicht das bei der Anzahl der Gäste jedoch nicht aus, da die Waschräume bereits gegen Mittag wieder stark verschmutzt sind. Die Hygieneeimer in den Toiletten waren teilweise so überfüllt, dass man Hygieneartikel hineindrücken musste.
Der größte Kritikpunkt ist jedoch die Indoor-Spielhalle. Das Klettergerüst ist wirklich toll und bietet Kindern bei schlechtem Wetter eine schöne Beschäftigung. Leider wurde dort während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts (10 Tage) offenbar kein einziges Mal sauber gemacht. Bereits ab dem ersten Tag lagen überall Haare, Flusen, Blätter, Stifte und anderer Schmutz herum. Auch die Toiletten in diesem Bereich befanden sich in einem sehr unterschiedlichen Zustand. Den Wickeltisch bzw. die Wickelauflage habe ich fotografiert – sie waren alles andere als hygienisch. Wer mit einem Baby oder Kleinkind reist, sollte diesen Punkt berücksichtigen.
Besonders enttäuschend ist, dass wir die Rezeption bereits am zweiten Tag unseres Aufenthalts auf diese Mängel hingewiesen haben. Leider hat sich bis zu unserer Abreise nichts geändert. Gerade bei einem Problem, das die Sauberkeit und Hygiene betrifft, hätten wir uns eine zeitnahe Reaktion gewünscht.
Schade, denn mit etwas mehr Augenmerk auf Sauberkeit und Hygiene könnte der Campingplatz wirklich überzeugen. So bleibt bei uns leider insgesamt ein eher schlechter Eindruck. -
