Lovely chalet
Had a wonderful stay in a lovely (4-person) chalet with a covered terrace. Comfortable box-spring bed, large bathroom with a nice shower. Clean and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Went on some beautiful walks, starting right from the campsite. Also went on some lovely bike rides. I would love to come back here!
One minor drawback is that the WiFi doesn't always work well.

Lovely cottage on quiet child-friendly campsite
2 pers Cottage is small and fine, complete and very tastefully furnished in a quiet camping corner. Excellent beds and good seats. Very customer-oriented staff and beautiful walking and cycling surroundings.

TOP campsite
Fine campsite. Spacious pitches (also with private sanitary facilities) Ideal campsite for families with (young) children but also for e.g. senior citizens. Various rental possibilities. Been a guest on a pitch with private sanitary facilities for years. Involvement and friendliness of staff is TOP. Pity that adjacent catering establishments (not part of the campsite) have poor opening hours, but fortunately there are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity. De Berken: a must
