Lovely well-tended campsite in the middle of nature
What a lovely well-tended campsite in the middle of nature. But above all very friendly, helpful owners and staff who do everything to make your holiday more enjoyable. We had private sanitary facilities and they looked perfect but also the sanitary building was spotlessly clean. We had a wonderful time. Really a big 10 from us and highly recommended. We will definitely go back. Regards Jan and Belinda
