    We booked this campsite following the impression after looking at the website. However, we were disappointed with the campsite. The ladies' bathroom was closed because of the late season. We found it very annoying when using the toilet (only 3) to first have to walk past the "peeing bowls" of the men ... plumbing was not clean. On weekends, despite there being many more campers, the women's sanitary area remained closed. Toilets were often occupied so again had to walk past peeing men. The paper towels were also not replenished. The whole sanitary building could use a facelift. Late at night "bothered" by what I think were Polish men in a drunken state in the toilets. Gave an unsafe feeling. We are well aware that high season is over, but that does not mean that basic facilities are closed. Especially since the owners knew that several more guests would be coming this weekend. Too bad we did not see the owners either.

    Wij hebben deze camping geboekt naar aanleiding van de indruk na het bekijken van de website. Echter is ons de camping jammer genoeg tegengevallen. Het dames-sanitair was afgesloten ivm het naseizoen.. Wij vonden het zeer vervelend om bij het gebruik van toilet (slechts 3) eerst langs de "piesbakken" van de mannen te moeten lopen... sanitair was niet schoon. In het weekend bleef, ondanks dat er veel meer kampeerders waren, het sanitair gedeelte van de vrouwen gesloten. Toiletten waren vaak bezet en dus weer langs plassende mannen moeten lopen. De papieren handdoekjes werden ook niet aangevuld. Het hele sanitairgebouw kan wel een opknapbeurt gebruiken. sAvonds laat "last gehad" van wat ik denk Poolse mannen die zich in dronken toestand ophielden in de toiletten. Gaf een onveilig gevoel. Wij zijn ons terdege bewust dat het hoogseizoen voorbij is, maar dat wil niet zeggen dat de basisvoorzieningen gesloten worden. Zeker omdat de eigenaren wisten dat dit weekend nog diverse gasten zouden komen. Jammer dat wij de eigenaren ook niet gezien hebben.

    This was our worst campsite so far 😩In the beginning no one let us in (only after we used our money to make a phone call). We only saw the wash house once and never used it brrrr. The pitch (for which we had to pay extra) was awesome!!!! Behind us a polluted stream in front of us a fish pond that stank. Supposedly there were sturgeons and grass carp in the pond. But we couldn't believe the quality. The poor fish that have to live in it 😞All in all, a totally run-down place for us.

    Das war unser bisher schlimmster Campingplatz 😩Den Anfang keiner der uns rein gelassen hat (erst nachdem wir unser Geld für einen Anruf genutzt haben). Das Waschhaus haben wir nur einmal gesehen und nie benutzt brrrr. Der Stellplatz(für den wir noch zusätzlich bezahlen mussten) war der Hammer!!!! Hinter uns ein verunreinigter Bach vor uns ein Fischteich der gestunken hat . Angeblich waren Störe und Graskarpfen im Teich. Konnten wir bei der Qualität aber nicht glauben. Die armen Fische die darin leben müssen 😞Alles in allem für uns ein total abgerockter Platz .

    Too bad the plumbing left much to be desired. That the building is old does not matter to us, but it does if it is NOT clean! Otherwise it is a nice campsite.

    Jammer dat het sanitair te wensen over liet. Dat het gebouw oud is maakt ons niet uit, maar wel als het NIET schoon is! Voor de rest is het een aardige camping.

    Is just nice campsite where you can pitch your own tent. Bar and such is not always open and pool is definitely not big. But basically you just need a patch of grass anyway. The rest is good to walk.

    Is gewoon leuke camping waar je zelf een tent kan neerzetten. Bar enzo is niet altijd open en zwembad is zeker niet groot. Maar eigenlijk heb je toch alleen een stukje gras nodig. De rest is goed te bewandelen.
