Nestled along the North Holland Canal and surrounded by peaceful polder landscapes, this family-run campsite provides a serene escape for those who enjoy cycling, walking, fishing, and canoeing. The owners are consistently praised for their warm, straightforward friendliness and eagerness to help with local advice, creating a welcoming atmosphere that many guests appreciate. The car-free layout on the camping field enhances the sense of tranquility, with staff often moving caravans to their spots. However, the site delivers a divided experience: while some visitors find the pitches beautiful with nice grass, others describe cramped conditions, a lack of privacy, and unattractive views like an unsightly shed. A major and recurring issue is the cleanliness of the main sanitary block, which has been called unacceptable and grubby, with reports of dirty taps, dusty shelves, and insect droppings. In contrast, newer private sanitary facilities are noted as clean and attractive, offering a welcome alternative. Noise is another point of contention; the site is generally quiet and free of organized entertainment, but some guests are bothered by a nearby highway and airport. The location is practical for exploring Alkmaar and Egmond aan Zee, and a bread delivery service adds a convenient touch. Recent years have brought complaints about unexpected extra charges for showers and electricity, with low voltage and neglected chemical disposal points diminishing value. Pitch assignments have disappointed some, who received a campervan spot instead of a tent or caravan pitch. Despite these drawbacks, the owners' dedication and the tranquil setting continue to win loyal fans, though others decide not to return due to sanitation, noise, or crowding issues. The site prohibits groundsheets under tents but allows breathable weed fabric. For safety along the canal-side road, cyclists must ride single file.
