Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - Our pitch was very nice: shadow, enough space and close enough to al facilities. We also like the playground and swimmingpool.
Disliked - The showers, toilets and washingarea aren’t clean. There is no soap available and a lot of times there is no toiletpapier. The showers have a bad smell and you’ll find sand, dirt, hair etc
Very poor internet. It’s outdated in the year 2024 that you have no proper internet or have to pay for it.

Liked - We liked staying at the camping. The general vibe is really nice. We enjoyed our staying.
Disliked - We didn’t like:
- Reception was al lot of the time closed. Also the restaurant/ coffee bar is closed at 21:00 so we could not go for a cup of coffee or thee in the evening.
-cleaning. The restrooms and showers got more dirty every day we stayed. There was also a smell from the sanitaire building.
We recommend more en thorough cleaning of the sanitair building. Specific the time before and after every one has gone to the beach. At 15:00 and 20:00.
- make a decision for the toilet paper, make shure ever toilet has toilet paper or none has. So it is predictable.
