    Saddest park manager in the world, just whining with the railroad tree. I would never go here again.

    Fine fully equipped cottages in park on the edge of the Markermeer. About half of the cottages have a direct view of the Markermeer. Park is nicely maintained. Staff is friendly and helpful. +Directly next to the harbor with historic boat elevator and 2 restaurants. +Many walking and cycling opportunities. +Gourmet ordered on park was excellent Please note that next to the park is the busy main road to Lelystad. Last piece of road to the park is the dike and is narrow and unlit. Especially noticeable in less than good weather conditions.

    Fijne compleet ingerichte huisjes in park aan de rand van het Markermeer. Ongeveer de helft van de huisjes heeft direct zicht op het Markermeer. Park is netjes onderhouden. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. +Direct naast de haven met historische botenlift en 2 restaurants. +Veel wandel en fiets mogelijkheden. +Gourmet besteld op park was uitstekend Houdt er rekening mee dat naast het park de drukke doorgaande weg naar Lelystad loopt. Laatste stukje weg naar het park is de dijk en is smal en onverlicht. Vooral merkbaar bij minder goede weersomstandigheden.

    A great location with beautiful views of the lake. We stayed here for a weekend, but was actually too short with such beautiful surroundings and towns nearby. Only drawback is the early check out time of 10.00. That's really too soon to leave everything decent and tidy/washed after breakfast for 6 people. Otherwise a great stay!

    Een geweldige locatie met prachtig uitzicht over het meer. Wij hebben hier een weekendje verbleven, maar was eigenlijk te kort met zo'n mooie omgeving en stadjes in de buurt. Enige nadeel is de vroege uitchecktijd van 10.00. Dat is echt te snel om alles na het ontbijt van 6 personen fatsoenlijk en opgeruimd/afgewassen achter te laten. Verder een prima verblijf!

    First of all, All the writing here about being too loud, too dirty...possibly ALL BAD! The Europark on the Markermeer welcomed us in a very well-kept condition. After I had scanned the parking card "once", the barrier opened with video recognition without any problems. The houses are equipped with everything you need, and of course it is normal that if you stay for a week like we did, you have to buy a few things for your daily needs. The Wi-Fi worked great and with sufficient strength and, as I said, everything was very nice. Our house was right next to the road and yet it was no problem to sleep relaxed and restful at night. The park's own playground is wonderful for children and a nearby swimming pool is free for park visitors to use. All in all, the park is highly recommended.

    Als Allererstes, Das ganze Geschrieben hier von wegen zu laut, zu Schmutzig...evtl. ALLES BLÖDSINN! Der Europark am Markermeer empfing uns in einem sehr gepflegten Zustand. Nachdem ich "einmalig" die Parkkarte eingelesen hatte öffnete sich die Schranke mit Videoerkennungen völlig unproblematisch. Die Häuser sind mit allem ausgestattet was man so braucht, und natürlich ist es normal das wenn man wie wir eine Woche bleibt auch ein paar Dinge des täglichen Bedarfs nachkaufen muss. Das WLAN hat super und mit ausreichender Stärke funktioniert und wie gesagt war alles sehr schön. Unser Haus befand sich direkt neben der Straße und trotzdem war es in der Nacht kein Problem entspannt und erholsam zu schlafen. Der Parkeigene Spielplatz ist für Kinder wunderbar und ein in der Nähe befindliches Schwimmbad ist kostenlos für Parkbesucher nutzbar. Alles in Allem ist der Park sehr zu empfehlen.
