    Sehr enttäuschend – keine Menschlichkeit gezeigt Wir hatten zwei Häuser für unsere Patchwork-Familie für eine Woche gebucht und uns schon sehr auf den Aufenthalt gefreut. Leider mussten wir drei Tage vor der Anreise alles stornieren, da unser Sohn dringend operiert werden muss. Ein medizinischer Notfall, den wir selbstverständlich mit einem ärztlichen Attest nachweisen konnten. Trotz dieser besonderen Situation wurde keinerlei Verständnis gezeigt. Eine Rückerstattung oder auch nur die Möglichkeit, den Betrag für eine spätere Buchung anzurechnen, wurde kategorisch abgelehnt. Unter Tränen habe ich unsere Situation erklärt. Es wurde keine Lösung angeboten, kein Entgegenkommen, keine Kulanz, kein Mitgefühl. Ich finde es sehr enttäuschend, dass hier jegliche Menschlichkeit fehlt. Gerade in solch außergewöhnlichen Fällen sollte man erwarten dürfen, dass nicht nur stur nach den Regeln gehandelt wird. Leider bleibt der Eindruck, dass hier eher an doppelten Einnahmen als an fairer Behandlung interessiert ist. Definitiv keine Empfehlung – wir werden hier nie wieder buchen.

    We rated the campsite as a family and stayed there for 10 days. We had a lovely caravan pitch. The view diagonally across the Verse Sea was fantastic. Pitch/infrastructure: The water connections (comfort pitch) were easily accessible - the others not so much. The current regulations (caravans parallel to the central driveway) were a challenge for us, as we don't have a mover and our pitch was significantly smaller than others along the way. Unfortunately, there were also no helping hands at the time of our arrival. Other campers didn't follow the rules either and stood in the way. Order and traffic: There were also dogs to be found (off-leash) in areas that were supposed to be dog-free. Attention with children: The cars predominantly drive at increased speed and much faster than 15km/h. (This may be due to the fact that the campsite is spacious and there is only one exit to the north). Hygiene/sanitary facilities: The nearest wash house was the one at the outdoor pool and a little further away another one situated by a wooded area (approx 10 min walk). However, there was a possibility to go to the toilet nearby - but nothing more. In all three wash areas there were no low washbasins or family shower areas for children, so that independent camping life can be made possible/encouraged. It was not possible to set the water temperature in the shower areas of any of the wash houses. In the low season (even when the campsite is well attended) the capacities are halved...that was a bit annoying in the morning. The brightness in the mirror area of all the wash houses also leaves a lot to be desired! Our pitch, as well as the adjacent pitches, often had a cloacal smell in the south/west wind. Something is not right. Areas for smaller children: The outdoor pool area is nicely laid out, especially for small children. (How about an awning to provide shade over the water surface of the paddling pool?) The indoor climbing area is small, but it's nice that it exists - I'd like it to be bigger...in bad weather, more than 5 children including parents come. Conclusion and rating: The campsite is actually in a great location. But the distances to the wash houses are really long and the sanitary facilities there remind me of the 90s. The area by the outdoor pool was particularly unhealthy. Red mold on the shower cubicle walls and black mold on the floor. We took our children to the building further away - you can do better with little investment. But it's really unfriendly for families and children. We hope that they will finally invest properly and not just make the walls nicer. Incidentally, the wash house at the outdoor pool doesn't have any soap for after using the toilet. What kind of time are we living in? 😉 I don't want to rule out whether we'll come back after the 3rd year, but under the circumstances it's not really suitable for families with small children (1-6 years). We hope for a quick improvement. Best regards

    Wir bewerten den Campingplatz als Familie und waren 10Tage dort. Wir hatten einen schönen CaravanStellplatz. Der Blick schräg aufs VerseMeer war fantastisch. Platz/Infrastruktur: Die Wasseranschlüsse (Komfortstellplatz) waren gut erreichbar - die anderen eher nicht. Die geltenden Regelungen (Wohnwagen paralle zum mittig angelegten Fahrweg) waren für uns eine Herausforderung, da wir keinen Mover besitzen und unser Platz deutlich kleiner war als andere in dem Weg. Auch helfende Hände gab es zu dem Zeitpunkt der Anreise leider nicht. Andere Camper hielten sich auch nicht an die Regelung und haben sich quer hingestellt. Ordnung und Verkehr: Es waren auch in Bereichen Hunde anzutreffen (ohne Leine), die eigentlich Hundefrei sein sollten. Achtung mit Kindern: Die Autos fahren überwiegend mit erhöhter Geschwindigkeit und weitaus schneller als 15km/h. (Liegt vielleicht daran, dass der Campinglatz weitläufig ist und es nur eine Ausfahrt im Norden gibt.) Hygiene/Sanitärbereiche: Das nächstgelegene Waschhaus war das am Freibad und etwas entfernter ein weiteres an einem Waldstück gelegen (Fußweg ca 10 min). Jedoch gab es in der Nähe eine Möglichkeit zur Toilette zu gehen - mehr aber auch nicht. In allen drei Waschbereichen gab es für Kinder keine niedrigen Waschbecken oder Familienduschbereiche, so dass man ein eigenständiges Campingerleben ermöglichen/födern kann. In den Duschbereichen aller Waschhäuser konnte man keine Temperatur des Wassers einstellen. In der Nebensaison werden (auch bei gutbesuchtem) Campingplatz die Kapazitäten halbiert...das war morgens schon etwas nervig. Auch die Helligkeit im Spiegelbereich aller Waschhäuser lässt zu wünschen übrig! Unser Stellplatz, sowie die nebengelegenen Plätze haben bei Süd-/Westwind oft einen Kloakenduft erlebt. Da passt etwas nicht. Bereiche für kleinere Kinder: Der Freibadbereich ist besonders für Kleinkinder schön angelegt. (Wie wäre es mit einem Sonnensegel als Schattenspender über der Wasserfläche des Planschbeckens?) Der Indoorspiel-Kletterbereich ist klein, aber schön dass es den gibt - gerne größer...bei schlechtem Wetter kommen mehr als 5 Kinder inkl. Eltern. Fazit und Bewertung: Eigentlich ist der Campingplatz in einer tollen Lage. Aber die Wege zu Waschhäusern sind echt weit und die Austattung der Sanitärbereiche dort erinnern mich an die 90er Jahre. Besonders der Bereich am Freibad war gesundheitlich bedenklich. Roter Schimmel an den Duschkabinenwänden und am Boden schwarzer. Mit unseren Kindern sind wir in das noch weiter entfernte Gebäude gefahren - das kann man mit wenig Investitionen besser. Wobei es für Familien und Kinder echt unfreundlich ist. Wir hoffen dass man da endlich mal richtig investiert und nicht nur die Wände schöner macht. Das Waschhaus am Freibad bietet übrigens keine Seife für nach dem Toilettengang. In welcher Zeit leben wir bitte?! 😉 Ob wir nach dem 3.Jahr wiederkommen, möchte ich nicht ausschließen, aber unter den Umständen ist es für Familien mit kleineren Kindern(1-6Jahre) bedingt geeignet. Wir hoffen auf schnelle Besserung. Beste Grüße

    Keine Bewertung der Zimmer, weil wir in unserem Wohnwagen schlafen. In der Nebensaison sehr viel Platz. Das Einchecken war sehr knapp, weil wir nur 2 Minuten vor Schluss 17 Uhr (stand nirgendwo) da waren.
