Summary created out of 303 reviews

The park is beautifully situated in the greenery of the Amsterdamse Bos, with spacious pitches and good accessibility to Amsterdam by bike (30-45 minutes) or public transport. Guests appreciate the quiet, nature-rich surroundings with birds and rabbits, and the friendly, helpful staff. The sanitary facilities are regularly cleaned and the showers have hot water, although the facilities are somewhat dated and cleanliness is experienced as variable. Many visitors notice aircraft noise due to the proximity of Schiphol, but nights are quiet thanks to the night flight ban.

    The campground itself is quite a nice place, and the location in the Amsterdamse Bos is very pleasant. However, my experience was quite negative because I was looking for a place to relax, and in reality, I encountered a lot of noise, especially at night.

    The problem wasn’t limited to just one specific night. There was a lot of noise at … night throughout my stay. After 5:00 p.m., when the front desk closes, there’s no one available to turn to in case of a problem, and there are no security staff to enforce quiet hours. This is especially noticeable at night, since the noise can go on for hours without anyone from the campground to turn to.

    On Saturday, there was also a festival near the campground, and the music could be heard and echoed throughout the entire area. I understand that an outside festival isn’t the campground’s responsibility, but I do think they should mention these types of events on their website before guests make a reservation—especially if they can have such a significant impact on guests’ rest. I chose this campground specifically because I was looking for peace and quiet, and if I had known I would encounter this level of noise, I would have chosen a different place to stay.

    That same night, there was also a car in the parking lot with the music playing at an extremely high volume from approximately 1:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. Since there was no one from the campground to notify, I finally had to call the police so I could get some rest.

    Another negative aspect was the Wi-Fi. It’s a public network, and during my stay it often simply didn’t work. When I did manage to connect, the speed was very slow and the connection quality was quite poor, making it practically useless for working, studying, or doing any activity that required a stable connection.

    After several days of not being able to sleep well and a constant feeling of unease, the experience ended up being quite bad for me.

    The campground has its positive aspects and the surroundings are beautiful, but I think they should definitely improve noise management at night, provide a way to contact them or get assistance outside of reception hours, and give advance notice of any events or external circumstances that might affect guests’ rest. If you’re looking for a quiet place to rest, I recommend giving this serious consideration before booking.

    El camping en sí es un sitio bastante bonito y la ubicación en Amsterdamse Bos es muy agradable. Sin embargo, mi experiencia fue bastante negativa porque buscaba un lugar donde poder descansar y, en la práctica, me encontré con muchísimo ruido, especialmente por las noches.

    El problema no se limitó a una noche concreta. Durante mi estancia hubo bastante ruido nocturno. A partir de las 17:00, cuando cierra recepción, no hay nadie disponible al que acudir en caso de algún problema y tampoco hay personal de seguridad que controle el cumplimiento de los horarios de descanso. Esto se nota especialmente durante la noche, ya que el ruido puede prolongarse durante horas sin que haya una persona del camping a la que puedas recurrir.

    El sábado, además, hubo un festival cerca del camping cuya música se escuchaba y retumbaba por toda la zona. Entiendo que un festival externo no sea responsabilidad del camping, pero considero que sí deberían informar de este tipo de eventos en la página web antes de realizar una reserva, especialmente si pueden afectar de forma tan importante al descanso de los huéspedes. Yo elegí este camping precisamente buscando tranquilidad y, si hubiera sabido que iba a encontrar este nivel de ruido, habría elegido otro alojamiento.

    Esa misma noche, además, hubo un coche en el parking con la música a un volumen extremadamente alto desde aproximadamente las 1:30 hasta las 6:30 de la mañana. Al no haber nadie del camping a quien poder avisar, finalmente tuve que llamar a la policía para poder descansar.

    Otro aspecto negativo fue el Wi-Fi. Es una red pública y durante mi estancia muchas veces directamente no funcionaba. Cuando conseguía conectarme, la velocidad era muy lenta y la calidad de la conexión bastante mala, por lo que resultaba poco útil para trabajar, estudiar o realizar cualquier actividad que necesitara una conexión estable.

    Después de varios días sin poder dormir bien y una sensación constante de no poder estar tranquilo, la experiencia terminó siendo bastante mala para mí.

    El camping tiene aspectos positivos y el entorno es bonito, pero considero que deberían mejorar claramente la gestión del ruido durante la noche, ofrecer algún sistema de contacto o asistencia fuera del horario de recepción e informar previamente de posibles eventos o circunstancias externas que puedan afectar al descanso. Si buscas un lugar tranquilo para descansar, recomiendo tenerlo muy en cuenta antes de reservar.
