    Very friendly manager, nicely maintained. Great location within walking distance of downtown, but still in the lee. If quiet in late afternoon, the highway can be heard in the background though. Note: no review of rooms due to own caravan

    Zeer vriendelijke beheerder, netjes onderhouden. Prima locatie op loopafstand van het centrum, maar toch in de luwte. Als het rustig is aan het einde van de middag, is de snelweg wel op de achtergrond te horen. NB: geen beoordeling van kamers vanwege eigen caravan

    Pleasant, quiet campground in low season. Very clean plumbing and hot showers. You pay with shower tokens. There are many nice spots by the water. You walk right into the cozy center of Woerden.

    Liked: Small site a short distance away from a nice town. Reasonable sized pitches with very clean facilities. No cars allowed on site and they have to park outside. Excellent wifi. Disliked: We found it slightly unusual that to access the site in or out by camper van , you had to locate the warden. All hot water for showers and washing up was an additional cost but overall cost very reasonable so can’t complain.
