Wonderful municipal campsite. Managers are very kind and receptive. Showers are very hot! Sanitaries are clean. Wonderful views, nice fellow campers. Right next to a crescent shaped beach. Must sign in for site between 1500-1900 only. 2 bicycles/ 1 tent under 11 Euros.

Even if we had the worst weather possible ( strong wind and rain), we really enjoyed the location . Very friendly welcome, and good size pitch. Sanitary block good, with strong hot showers.

Nice views but a bit in the middle of nowhere. We went in mid June and all of the restaurant in the local village were closed. Worth checking before you make the trip.

Very nice campsite, but "members-only". For Dutch people NIVON membership card (show!) is required
