    What a special and fine experience this campground was. Wonderfully casual, helpful and relaxed atmosphere. At Ascension, the campground was busy with families who have been coming there for years and many children. For us as seniors not the most logical choice. The beauty of this company is that there is something for everyone, but the atmosphere is very good and despite the crowds is quiet and friendly. For horse lovers it is also nice. Riding lessons or helping out can all be done. Tjeukemeer within walking distance; all top. The Family Eefting is ready for you time and are cordial nice people. Thanks!

    Wat een bijzondere en fijne ervaring was deze camping. Heerlijk ongedwongen, behulpzame en relaxte sfeer. Met Hemelvaart was het druk op de camping met families die er al jaren komen en veel kinderen. Voor ons als senioren niet de meest logische keuze. Het knappe van dit bedrijf is dat er voor elk wat wils is, maar dat de sfeer heel goed is en ondanks de drukte rustig en gemoedelijk is. Voor paarden liefhebbers ook leuk. Paardrijlessen of helpen kan allemaal. Tjeukemeer op loopafstand; allemaal top. De Familie Eefting staat tijd voor je klaar en zijn hartelijke aardige mensen. Dank!

    A very cozy and fun campsite where dogs are also welcome, the children are allowed to help with the horses, there are also fun and educational riding lessons given. The Tjeukemeer with restaurant is within walking distance of the campsite. Sanitary facilities are clean, spacious and easily accessible for the disabled. In short, boredom is not possible on this super nice campsite and we will definitely come back! Ps, large spacious bike shed available where we were even allowed to charge our ebikes, feel free to ask the owner where it is located.

    Een hele gezellige en leuke camping waar honden ook welkom zijn, de kinderen mogen helpen bij de paarden, ook worden er leuke en leerzame paardrijlessen gegeven. Het Tjeukemeer met restaurantje is op loopafstand van de camping. Sanitair is netjes, ruim en goed bereikbaar voor invaliden. Kortom, vervelen is niet mogelijk op deze super leuke camping en wij komen zeker terug! Ps, grote ruime fietsenstalling aanwezig waar we zelfs onze ebikes mochten opladen, vraag gerust aan de eigenaar waar deze zich bevind.
