We had a comfort pitch XL. Lovely spacious, Eectricity, own water connection and drainage. We could be completely self-sufficient. All pitches are enclosed by a hedge. Large picnic table and place to put the bicycles... Directly into the forest / field to walk with the dog, blissful! Nice and quiet, the bird sounds predominate.
Great campsite clean, quiet and spacious. Our stay in studio de luxe: clean, tidy and fully equipped with excellent beds and nice chairs on the veranda. Definitely recommended. We were offered a booklet with cycle routes from the campsite and the welcome package was certainly to our liking. In the immediate vicinity Borger and Gasselte enough opportunities for terraces and eateries. A place to return to!
We have a 3 year old daughter and she really enjoyed herself. there are plenty of fields with nice playgrounds. There were fun activities for children and because it is a smaller campsite, they can also explore on their own. Despite the high season, there was always room at the toilet or shower. The surroundings are also beautiful and there is enough to do. Kabouterland, delicious pancake restaurant 'T Moatie, attraction park drouwenerzand and delicious swimming at 'T Nije Hemelriek.
We really enjoyed this campsite! As a family with young children, this campsite is the place to be if you're looking for a combination of peace and quiet and more than enough space for the children to play. The animation was super, the sanitary facilities were very clean (they are cleaned 3-4 times a day), the site is well kept, friendly staff and it's nice and quiet on the campsite at night. We will definitely come back here!
Very nice clean and quiet campsite. In high season, there will probably be more activity with children, for which there is enough. For us 60+ so nice and quiet now. Staff are friendly and helpful. We had a comfort XL pitch with our trailer tent, previously 2 pitches and therefore plenty of space. There are also places with private sanitary facilities. As far as I'm concerned, that would have been fine on this XL spot too. So much space! We can really recommend the campsite for walkers, you walk behind the campsite to the nature reserve Drouwerzand.
