RCN Vakantiepark De Noordster
Nestled within the Dwingelderveld, this campsite offers a beautiful natural setting with direct access to walking and cycling routes, praised for its spacious, well-laid-out pitches in open fields and wooded areas that provide a sense of space and privacy. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, making it ideal for families and dog owners, with a large off-leash area for dogs and many activities for children. The on-site restaurant and bar receive positive remarks for good value and quality, though some guests find the shop limited and note that menus are only in Dutch. Water access is a significant drawback, with too few water points that are hard to find, and some sanitary facilities are considered poorly arranged and potentially insufficient during peak season. Road conditions on the campsite are reported as poor, with potholes and puddles after rain, and improvements only after repeated requests. WiFi is available for free but is weak, unsuitable for streaming, though a paid premium option is expected. Mobile or satellite reception can be problematic in wooded areas. Nighttime lighting is poor, making it hard to find one's way back, and loud music from the toilet building continues at night. The showers are frequently mentioned as too cold with poor water pressure, and toilet availability around the holidays could be improved. Cleanliness and maintenance are praised overall, though some sanitary buildings are spotless while others have strong sewage odor. The campsite is quiet and offers good privacy, but some pitches are sandy and guests would prefer grass. Pitch numbering could be clearer, and some sites can become muddy in bad weather. Trash disposal requires carrying waste a fair distance, and more bins would be welcome. The swimming pool is fun for young children but the splash pool opening procedure was criticized. The surrounding area offers beautiful heathland and a large national park for hiking and biking, with bike hire available on site. Overall, the campsite excels in location, pitch size, and natural surroundings but falls short in water infrastructure, WiFi, and road maintenance.
