    Beautiful, convenient location. Minus that the houses are very close to each other, you have to be quiet. Each house has a table next to it. You have to walk to the toilet, only cold water in the shower. For camping for a couple of nights is a good place

    Красивое, удобное место. Минус что дома очень близко друг к другу, приходиться тихо проводить время. У каждого дома есть стол рядом. До туалета приходиться пройтись, в душе только холодная вода. Для кемпинга на пару ночей хорошее место

    Unexpected late booking where unfortunately we did not read the reviews in advance. But you don't really expect this to exist anymore...a campsite in such a poor state of repair and the guests are also of a certain kind that we left earlier with screeching tires. Campground is fairly full of caravans that are ripe for demolition but inhabited mainly by foreign people who also in the night especially let themselves be heard. 2 nights a car with a running engine pretty long stood. Toilet building where you actually do not want to use very dirty and poorly maintained. Paying 1 euro for less than a minute of hot water with the shower head you have to hold because everything is broken off. In short this was once but never again and would not recommend it to anyone.

    Onverwachtse late boeking waarbij we spijtig genoeg niet van tevoren de reviews hebben gelezen. Maar dit verwacht je toch eigenlijk niet meer dat het bestaat...een camping in zo een slechte staat van onderhoud en de gasten ook van een bepaald soort zijn dat we met gierende banden eerder zijn vertrokken. Camping staat redelijk vol met caravans die rijp voor de sloop zijn maar bewoond worden door vooral buitenlandse mensen die ook in de nacht vooral van zich laten horen. 2 nachten een auto met een draaiende motor behoorlijk lang gestaan. Toiletgebouw waar je eigenlijk niet van gebruik wilt maken erg vies en slecht onderhouden. 1 euro betalen voor nog geen minuut warm water met de douchekop die je vast moet houden omdat alles afgebroken is. Kortom dit was eens maar nooit meer en zou het ook niemand aanraden.

    Everything is dirty, the toilets are not cleaned. The sinks for washing up are full of dirt, the showers cost extra and are dirty. We booked one of the little houses. Places in the hut are "repaired" with adhesive tape, there is no proper table and hardly any kitchen utensils. The bunk beds are wobbly and squeaky and the door did not close all the way. Avoid this place if you can. Pictures on the homepage do not match with reality. From the old Google reviews, it seems that the former owners tok great care of the place. For the past years, the new owners did not put in any work into the camping area, the buildings and the facilities.
