    The cottage for 6 people was well-maintained, with a nice outdoor seating area, a gas BBQ, a lovely park, a beautiful natural swimming spot, goats, and a gnome trail—but there was a lot of noise everywhere. Perfect for young parents—children playing, laughing, screaming, and crying everywhere, a small pool, and entertainment in the evenings and afternoons. The manager was extremely helpful. Great extra service. The location was great, close to the German border.

    Huisje voor 6 personen was netjes onderhouden, fijne zitgelegenheid buiten, gasbbq, leuk park, mooie natuur zwemgelegenheid, geitjes, kabouterpad, maar wel veel geluid overal. Perfect voor jonge ouders, overal spelende lachende gillende en huilende kinderen, zwembadje, entertainment savonds en smiddags. De opzichter was super behulpzaam. Fijne extra service. Lokatie was prima, vlakbij grens met duitsland.

    A nice campground, especially when the weather is nice.
    The typical crowd is pretty laid-back.
    Enforcement of the campground rules could be better.

    Leuke camping, zeker als het mooi weer is.
    Gemiddelde publiek is vrij simpel.
    Controle op de camping van de huisregels kan beter.

    We stayed camping there for a weekend. The toilets were most of the time dirty. Maybe because it was high season and it was quite full with a lot of children, but that was not pleasant.

    The swimming pool is quite small and for small children. The lake although nice is full of fish which may nip you once in a while.
