    There are plenty of ways for children to have fun. The restrooms could be cleaner and more modern.

    A great campground that really stands out thanks to its entertainment team and kids’ program. The activities they put on—and the atmosphere they create—are amazing. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The campsites are spacious. There are lots of different options, ranging from shady to fully sunny, somewhat secluded, or in a row with others. We had one of these row sites, which we didn’t like very much because it was very cramped (even though the sites are large). Next time, we’ll book a different site. We had a site with heated private restroom facilities, which were well-equipped with its own outdoor sink and refrigerator in addition to a shower, toilet, and sink. The lake is great for kids. The sandy beach slopes very gently into the water, and the different sections are well marked.
    We’ll definitely be back.

    Ein toller Campingplatz, der vor allem durch das Animationsteam und Kinderprogramm glänzt. Was die dort abliefern, an Programm mit einer Stimmung, ist der Wahnsinn. Das Personal ist immer freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Stellplätze sind geräumig. Man hat viele unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten, von schattig, bis voll sonnig, etwas abgegrenzt oder in einer Reihe mit anderen. Einen dieser gereihten Stellplätze hatten wir, das hat uns nicht so gut gefallen, weil es schon sehr eng an eng war (obwohl es große Stellplätze sind). Beim nächsten Mal buchen wir einen anderen Stellplatz. Wir hatten einen Stellplatz mit beheiztem Privatsanitär, welches mit eigenem Outdoor Spülbecken und Kühlschrank zusätzlich zu Dusche, Toilette und Waschbecken gut ausgestattet ist. Der See ist toll für Kinder. Der Sandstrand geht sehr flach rein und die einzelnen Abschnitte sind gut gekennzeichnet.
    Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

    A really great activities program. The kids are kept busy the whole time. The pool is great, and so is the swimming pond. We also like the entertainment.

    Unfortunately, there's hardly any privacy, and the small spots near the caravan areas are given priority.
