Very helpful staff. Able to order bread at reception. Toilet block clean. Excellent night halt on route south, although a little further from motor way than anticipated

Travelling party: Seniors

Wir waren im Juni 2023 hier.
Obwohl wir zur Mittagszeit ankamen, konnten wir den Platz schon beziehen, ohne die Mittagspause abzuwarten. Der Platz ist super organisiert, das Restaurant macht einen guten Eindruck, der Pool ist toll, die sanitären Anlagen sehr ordentlich. In der Nähe gibt Wander- und Fahrrad-Wege. Achtung: das Navi führte uns über eine sehr schmale Strasse

Schöner Campingplatz
sehr gepflegte Sanitäranlagen
einzig was irritiert ist der Preis.

Travelling party: Couple

A reasonable campsite with a fair bit of noise from aeroplanes and helicopters using the nearby airport.
However we were not informed on arrival that there was a per person per night additional tourist tax, which increased the cost of our 2 day stay which was a bit of a shock when we we got the bill when leaving. I feel that visitors should be told this on arrival.

Der Empfang war Mustergültig und sehr freundlich. Vielen Dank für die in dieser Zeit nicht einfache, unkomplizierte Abwicklung. Grosse Achtung für Ihre Einstellung!! Bravo. Wir konnten unseren Platz (ACSI) selberauswählen. Die Plätze sind sehr grosszügig ausgelegt. Wir haben uns für einen Platz in der Nähe der Sanitäranlagen entschieden. Alles war perfekt sauber und wurde immer wieder gereinigt. Auch die Abfallentsorgung war Beispielhaft. Auch die Pizza im Restaurant war sehr gut und Preiswert.
