    We stayed here for a week with our kids and dog. First, the negatives: the safe was broken, the house wasn’t cleaned very well, and the campground’s food is good but, unfortunately, quite expensive. A 0.5-liter wheat beer for 8.70 is quite a shock.

    But there’s a lot of positive feedback to share, and ultimately I’d like to explain why I’m giving it 4 stars: There are different “areas” for camping, safari tents, bungalows, and RVs. For kids, the safari tents alone are an adventure, and the many on-site playgrounds keep them entertained. The swimming pool can be fully opened up to become an outdoor pool. Our “big girl” took a diving course there. The fee was only 10 euros—great!! There are plenty of activities and entertainment options for kids. The lake with its beach and inflatable iceberg is also great for the kids. We felt very comfortable there and have nothing but good things to say about the service. Although the park is right on the border, not everyone here speaks German, so if you don’t speak English, please don’t expect the whole world to speak German. It wasn’t a problem for us. There’s plenty to do in the surrounding area. You can even take your dog to the zoo in Nordhorn. All in all, we’ll definitely come back here and maybe try staying in a mobile home next time.

    Wir waren für eine Woche hier mit Kindern und Hund. Zuerst das Negative: Safe war defekt, Haus war nicht gut gereinigt, die Campingplatz Gastronomie ist gut aber leider recht teuer. Ein 0,5er Weizenbier für 8,70.- ist schon eine Ansage.

    Aber es gibt sehr viel Positives zu berichten und letztlich möchte ich meine 4 Sterne auch begründen: Es gibt verschiedene "Felder" für Camping, für Safariezelte, Bungalows und Mobilheime. Für Kinder sind die Safariezelte alleine schon ein Abenteuer und die vielen integrierten Spielplätze sorgen für Unterhaltung, Das Schwimmbad ist kann komplett zum Freibad geöffnet werden. Unsere "Große" hat dort einen Tauchkurs gemacht. Gebühr nur 10 Euro - klasse!! Für Kinder gibt es jede Menge Angebote und Animation. Der See mit Strand und aufblasbarem Eisberg ist ebenfalls toll für die Kinder. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt und können auch über den Service nur Gutes sagen. Obwohl der Park direkt an der Grenze liegt, spricht hier lange nicht jeder Deutsch, also wer kein Englisch kann, sollte bitte nicht erwarten, dass die ganze Welt Deutsch spricht. Für uns gab es kein Problem. In der Umgebung gibt es genug zu erleben. Tierpark in Nordhorn geht auch mit Hund. Alles in allem werden wir sicher noch einmal hierher kommen und evtl ein Mobilheim ausprobieren.

    The campground itself is fine, though there are a lot of English-speaking staff members. Don’t expect much from the ponds in terms of fishing—you have to walk down about 3 meters before you reach the water, and it’s pretty stagnant with only a few fish. The entertainment is pretty good. The campground is neat and clean.

    Camping is op zich prima, wel veel engels talig personeel. Vijvers moet je niet wat van verwachten qua vissen, eerst ga je ca 3m naar beneden voor je bij het water bent, en het is vrij dood water met een enkele vis. Animatie is aardig goed. Park is netjes schoon.

    1,000€ for 4 nights - 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
    —-> Accommodation: “Freed Home”
    Just filthy! The windows look like a pigsty.
    It looks like they’ve never vacuumed here.
    The bathroom is a disaster.
    The kitchen is practically falling apart.
    Dirty pots are sitting in the cabinet.
    The glasses are unusable.
    The sheets are dirty, and the mattress is awful.
    Once and never again.
    A total disaster.

    Badezimmer Katastrophe.
    Küche fällt fast auseinander.
    Töpfe stehen dreckig im Schrank.
    Gläser nicht nutzbar.
    Bettlaken dreckig, Matratze furchtbar.
    Einmal und nie wieder.
    Völliger Reinfall.
