This campsite offers a picturesque setting right on the Ijsselmeer, with views of the yacht harbor and passing sailboats creating an idyllic atmosphere. The staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming to all guests. On-site facilities include a well-stocked shop with everything you might need, and the nearest town is just 2.8 km away for additional supplies. The sanitary facilities are clean and well-maintained. The surrounding area is perfect for hiking and cycling enthusiasts, with plenty of routes to explore. It is a wonderful spot for those who enjoy water views and a peaceful, natural environment. However, the campsite has undergone changes that have reduced its original camping character, as many pitches are being converted into luxury chalets. Construction activity is ongoing, which affects the atmosphere. Pitch sizes receive mixed feedback — some find them disappointingly small, though one visitor notes overall improvements over the years. Sanitary facilities appear inconsistent: one review mentions only two dated but clean units, while another describes dirty toilets and an overcrowded washroom. Noise levels are reported as high, and the internet connection is unreliable. Dog owners frequently ignore rules by letting pets run freely on the beach, adding to the sense of disorder. A major financial concern is the site's inflexible prepayment policy: guests who pay for multiple nights upfront cannot get refunds if they choose to leave early, a practice that contradicts traditional camping freedom. To avoid being locked in, it is advised to never pay more than one night in advance, as the owners reportedly refuse partial refunds even when bad weather drives others away. The overall impression is of a once-lovely spot spoiled by poor management and questionable business practices.
