    I spontaneously went camping for 3 nights with my two adolescents. I really enjoyed our time at the campground. We were extremely lucky with the weather! That's why we were able to go supping and have a go at windsurfing. I enjoyed the very relaxed atmosphere at the campground and especially the two sons who made the beach bar a real success with their own conviviality, choice of music, always friendly attitude (also towards all the young children) and their fantastic coffees! What I like is that over the days you see different family members present at the campsite, which gives it something very convivial. Thank you dear people, we have enjoyed it immensely and will definitely return. Love Jorien and kids

    Ik ben spontaan 3 nachtjes naar de camping gegaan met mijn twee pubers. Ik heb onze tijd op de camping heel prettig gevonden. We hadden onwijs geluk met het weer! Daarom hebben we kunnen suppen en een poging kunnen doen met windsurfen. Ik heb genoten van het onwijs relaxte sfeertje op de camping en vooral van de twee zoons die het strandbarretje met hun eigen gezelligheid, muziekkeuze, altijd vriendelijke houding (ook richting alle jonge kinderen) en hun fantastische koffies, echt tot een succes maken! Wat ik tof vind is dat je over de dagen verschillende familieleden aanwezig ziet op de camping, wat het iets heel gemoedelijks geeft. Bedankt lieve mensen wij hebben ontiegelijk genoten en komen zeker terug. Liefs Jorien en kids

    This is probably the best campsite in Friesland, maybe in all of Holland. Nowhere do you feel more welcome. Super service and fun for everyone. Lovely lake to cool down and nice spacious places.

    Lovely weekend getaway together. We were welcomed hospitably and were able to use the hot tub. The facilities at the campground were good and clean. Every morning we were able to enjoy fresh rolls and a cappuccino at the beach bar. We were also able to rent canoes and swim in the lake. Definitely highly recommended!!!
