Very nice place that is easily accessible, well maintained. Loud music is not allowed, but unfortunately nothing is done about that.

Nicely maintained place. Neat huts, with their own sink and rubbish bin. Parking is usually available next to your cabin. Toilets clean with toilet paper available. We were there on a quiet day. It looks a bit small, so it might be a bit of a squeeze on a busy day.

Loud music, drugs, tobacco and alcohol – it's not what it used to be. Where it was once a neat, quiet place, that is unfortunately no longer the case. Upon arrival, loud music appeared to be coming from several tents, despite several signs clearly stating that music is prohibited. We passed this on to the staff, but they only said that they had already asked if the music could be turned down. However, nothing changed. In addition, there were many visitors eating, drinking alcohol and smoking in the water - even the smell of marijuana was clearly noticeable in the water. It is definitely not a child-friendly place anymore. When we reported this to the staff, they responded indifferently and did not intervene. They even seemed to be afraid of the guests. A shame, because this used to be a very nice, neat, quiet and child-friendly place.
