No super de luxe camping but just a cozy cozy camping without bla bla. Administrator Pascal welcomes you in his own way. Located near Pionierspad and therefore attractive for the real hiker/hiker. Price is fine but certainly not expensive. Sanitary facilities clean and camping seems cozy for children.

Geen super de luxe camping maar gewoon een gezellige knusse camping zonder bla bla. Beheerder Pascal heet U welkom op zijn eigen wijze. Ligt in de buurt van Pionierspad en dus aantrekkelijk voor de echte trekker/wandelaar. Prijs is prima maar zeker niet duur. Sanitair schoon en camping lijkt gezellig voor kinderen.

A small campsite close to nature. Piet and Pascal are very nice and incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, due to the mosquito infestation at the time, I could almost only stay in the caravan. I have to complain a little too. One shower for all the women present is really few and far between and at 38 euros per night we find it very steep for the very small pitch where there is nothing or not much on offer.

Ein naturnaher kleiner Campingplatz. Piet und Pascal sind sehr nett und wahnsinnig hilfsbereit. Aufgrund der zu der Zeit herrschenden Mückenplage konnte ich leider fast nur im Wohnwagen bleiben. Ein bisschen meckern muss auch sein. Eine Dusche für alle anwesenden Frauen ist echt wenig und auch um und bei 38 Euro pro Nacht finden wir sehr happig für den doch sehr kleinen Platz auf dem auch nichts bzw nicht viel geboten wird.

Fine small campground. We had booked the red festival tent last minute for during Pentecost. The tent was fully equipped and included bedding. Also a fridge, freezer, double electric stove, crockery, and toys for inside and outside. The tent was clean and newly set up and was totally great for our family of four. The campground itself has a cozy fire pit where much of the campground socialized in the evening, a table tennis table, a playground equipment, and plenty of room to play some soccer, throw up, or other camping games. Our children had a great time there, especially since there were plenty of age-mates. During our stay we saw children from young toddlers to adolescents and they had a great time together. Next to the campground is an outdoor pool with sunbathing area and I understood from the owner that this will be added to the campground next year. Behind it is a school with a somewhat larger playground which can be fun. In Swifterbant itself we were also able to eat at the local pizzeria, which is at least there and also within walking distance. The place is big enough for that. Lelystad and Dronten are close by, both 10 minutes to 15 minutes away. There was also a sanitary building at the campsite with toilet, shower and place to wash dishes. Plumbing was well clean and kept that way. Soap, brushes and cloths were provided for dishwashing; super convenient. There was only one shower and one sitting toilet and a urinal for men, but in practice with the campground mostly full it was fine and sufficient. The owner was very friendly, occasionally gave away firelighters to light the fire and was very chatty. The whole atmosphere at the campground was very relaxed and cozy. We had the weather with us. The only drawbacks for us were that there were quite a few mosquitoes, because it was a bit wooded. Good to take Deet with you if you don't want to be bothered by them. And also the church bell, which is quite a distance away, was very audible. But those are little things. Definitely a nice little campground that we would recommend to families.

Fijne kleine camping. We hadden last minute de rode festivaltent geboekt voor tijdens Pinksteren. De tent was compleet ingericht en inclusief beddengoed. Daarnaast een koelkast, vriezer, een dubbele elektrische kookpit, servies-goed, en speelgoed voor binnen en buiten. De tent was schoon en pas nieuw opgezet en was helemaal top voor ons gezin van vier. De camping zelf heeft een gezellige vuurplaats waar een groot deel van de camping in de avond gezellig bij elkaar aansloot, een tafeltennis tafel, een speeltoestel, en genoeg ruimte om wat te voetballen, overgooien of andere campingspelletjes. Onze kinderen hebben zich er prima vermaakt, zeker ook omdat er voldoende leeftijdsgenootjes waren. Tijdens ons verblijf zagen we kinderen van jonge peuters tot in de puberteit en dat vermaakte zichzelf prima met elkaar. Naast de camping is overigens een buitenzwembad met ligweide en ik begreep van de eigenaar dat deze volgend jaar ook bij de camping getrokken zal worden. Daarachter is nog een school met een wat groter speeltuintje bij een school wat leuk kan zijn. In Swifterbant zelf hebben we ook nog kunnen eten bij de lokale pizzeria, die er in ieder geval is en ook op loopafstand. Daar is de plek groot genoeg voor. Lelystad en Dronten zijn dichtbij, beide 10 minuten tot een kwartier rijden. Er was op de camping verder een sanitair gebouw met WC, douche en plek om af te wassen. Sanitair was goed schoon en werd ook zo gehouden. Bij het afwassen waren zeep, borstels en doeken aanwezig; super handig. Er was wel maar één douche en één zit-wc en een urinoir voor mannen, maar in de praktijk met de camping toch grotendeels vol bleek dat prima en voldoende. De eigenaar was erg vriendelijk, gaf zo nu en dan ook aanmaakblokjes weg om het vuur aan te steken en was erg in voor een praatje. De hele sfeer op de camping was erg ontspannen en gezellig. We hadden het weer daarbij ook wel erg mee. Enige nadeeltjes voor ons waren dat er best wat muggen waren, want het was toch wel wat bosrijk. Goed om Deet mee te nemen als je daar geen last van wil hebben. En ook de kerkklok, die toch wel een eindje weg is, was erg goed te horen. Maar dat zijn kleinigheden. Zeker een fijne kleine camping die wij gezinnen zouden aanraden.

We were able to get in last minute when other plans of ours fell apart. We had no idea what to expect but it was a very small, cozy and green campground. Toilets and shower are very clean and cleaned several times a day. In the middle is a playground with large fire pit that can be lit every night (bring your marshmallows!). The kids had hours of fun and the parents enjoyed the peace and quiet and the beautiful sounds of all the birds and sheep in the background!

Wij konden nog last minute terecht toen andere plannen van ons in duigen vielen. We hadden geen idee wat we konden verwachten maar het was een hele kleine, gezellige en groene camping. Toiletten en douche zijn heel schoon en worden een paar keer per dag schoongemaakt. In het midden is een speelplaats met groot vuurkorf die elke avond aan mag (neem je marshmallows mee!). De kinderen hebben zich uren vermaakt en de ouders hebben kunnen genieten van de rust en de mooie geluiden van alle vogels en schapen in de achtergrond!

A beautiful little natural campsite. Totally friendly and helpful groundsman. A small but clean wash container with WC and shower. Despite the size, there was no congestion. Plenty of shade, which was excellent in the current persistent heat Shopping facilities approx. 1.5 km away. There is plenty to see within a 30-minute drive of the campsite (Urk, Lelystad, Kampen etc.).

Ein wunderschöner kleiner Naturcampingplatz. Total freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Platzwart. Ein kleiner aber sauberer Waschcontainer mit WC und Dusche. Es kam trotz der Größe zu keinem Stau. Viel Schatten, was bei der derzeit anhaltenden Hitze hervorragend war Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in ca. 1,5 km Entfernung. Im Umkreis von 30 Autominuten um den Platz herum gibt es einiges zu sehen (Urk, Lelystad, Kampen etc.).
