    We picked up dinner here for Christmas. 15 courses p.p. It was delicious. Some hassle with heating and proper order, though. This was at De Loep. How the resort is, no idea. The Loep is fine.

    We hebben hier met kerst het diner opgehaald. 15 gangen p.p. Dat was heerlijk. Wel wat gedoe met verwarmen en de juiste volgorde. Dit was bij De Loep. Hoe het vakantiepark is, geen idee. De Loep is prima.

    We terribly regret choosing this place for a vacation. We booked two nights but only stayed one. The chalet was lacking very basic living conditions, We really felt like we just wanted to go home so we left in a rush and left our dog's bed behind. After trying to forget about that horrible place, we received an email from them, that they are charging us 50€ for leaving the dogs bed behind. Worst vacation we've ever had!!

    Lovely quiet campsite, spacious pitches of which we had one with private sanitary facilities. We were offered this because our spot appeared to be occupied. Well organized, nice reception by friendly staff. Enjoyed the four-day bike ride from Goor 🚴‍♂️

    Heerlijk rustige camping, ruime plaatsen waarvan wij er ééntje hadden met privé sanitair. Dit kregen wij aangeboden omdat ons plekje bezet bleek te zijn. Top geregeld, fijne ontvangst door vriendelijke medewerkers. Genoten van de fietsvierdaagse vanuit Goor 🚴‍♂️
