A wonderful homecoming at De Berken
Another wonderful holiday at Camping de Berken.
In the 25 years that we have been camping, this is already the sixth time we have stayed here, and we feel right at home when we return.
Such peace and relaxation.
A beautiful spot and lovely private sanitary facilities.
Although the sanitary facilities at pitch 15 could do with a refurbishment.
But we will definitely be back for the seventh time.
The surroundings and restaurants are particularly good, and it's a wonderful area for walking.

Back to basic
'Back to basics' with an inflatable tent and with a touch of luxury and private sanitary facilities. For families with small children and for older people. Wonderfully large pitches. The car can be parked next to the tent.
