The pitch

Electrical hookup available (10A), euro plug required. Terrain is mostly flat with some terraced sections. Motorhomes accepted up to 8m, large caravans accepted. Pitch connections: water, sewer. Camper waste disposal on site. Pitches are well shaded. Pitches are marked. Paths lit at night.

Pitches are generally spacious and well-sized, with multiple comments noting room to spread out. However, one visitor reported difficulty finding a suitable pitch despite the site's appeal, suggesting that while individual pitches are roomy, availability or suitability for their needs may vary—worth confirming your specific requirements when booking.

The location

Campsite set in forest. Supermarket within 500m. Restaurant within 100m. Certifications and labels: 5 stars. Reception languages: English, German.

The campsite delivers strong sea access with direct beach location and straightforward entry to the water, confirming the good rating. Multiple visitors across languages highlight the excellent proximity to the sea and convenient access routes by car, bike, or public transport. The beachfront positioning with terraces overlooking the water is a consistent point of satisfaction, making this an ideal choice for water-focused stays.

The on-site shop is well-stocked with quality products, meeting basic everyday needs. However, prices are notably higher than nearby external supermarkets—roughly double in some cases—which is a common trade-off at campsite shops. The adequate score reflects this balance between convenience and cost.

Rental units & mobile homes

The rental units are modest in size but match their descriptions. Facilities within the accommodations are reasonably spacious—shower cabins and washbasins are noted as adequately sized. This aligns with the adequate band, suggesting functional and honest offerings without luxury finishes.

Also worth knowing

Staff provide a consistently warm and welcoming arrival experience, aligning with the good rating. The limited analysed comments offer positive impressions of the check-in process itself, though they do not elaborate on specifics such as waiting times, booking clarity, or flexibility with timing—areas travellers may want to confirm directly if these are priorities.

The campsite provides recycling infrastructure with clearly designated containers that are kept clean, representing a solid foundation for waste management. However, the recycling facilities are located off-site from pitches, which may pose a practical challenge for some guests, and the waste-sorting system lacks clear labelling for residual waste, creating some confusion. Water conservation appears adequate with outdoor shower facilities available.
