Bourtangerkanaal-Noord, 9545 VJ, Bourtange
Been here?
A campsite with motorhome pitches and a friendly welcome, located within walking distance of the historic fortress. The site is generally quiet and clean, with playgrounds, free children’s bicycles and go-karts, a swimming lake, and an on-site snack bar. Reservations are now required, and the gravel motorhome pitches can be tightly packed. The comfort-side sanitary facilities are outdated and basic.

Reservation required, possibly using the touchscreen at the barrier. The camper pitches overlook a gigantic open empty grass field, but are packed tightly together. Sanitary facilities are old-fashioned and mediocre. Overall, too expensive for the quality provided. Unfortunately, Bourtange itself is not worth visiting either: it is no longer an authentic fortified town, but a reconstruction.Translating
Nice site with everything you need. The motorhome pitches on gravel are rather like sardine tins, though. There is less than 3 metres between you and your neighbour. Therefore only 3 stars…Translating
Sanitary facilities on the comfort side are outdated. Comfort places no wifi and can’t connect a hose to the water tap. We would like if the bushes and trees were better trimmed, now grow quite wild = lots of snails and flying insects. Receptionist is friendly and the castle is a short walk away. Disappointing for the price, but a good stop for those looking for a peaceful night's sleep.Translating

I fully agree with all the positive comments written so far. Lovely place, very friendly owner, nice walk to the fort which is 10 mins away. If we are in that area ever again, we will be definitely back.Translating
I can only agree with the previous reviewers: nice staff, beautiful, well-maintained, quiet site, and a lovely area for walking and cycling. Gladly again.Translating
Great place, we arrived spontaneously. There are free bicycles and pedal go-karts for the children. A lovely little lake for swimming and a snack bar on site. About 10 minutes on foot to visit the fortified town.Translating

We arrived at the campsite without a reservation and received a very friendly welcome. We stayed for one night on this quiet, well-maintained site so that we could visit the nearby fortress. There are playgrounds, bicycles and go-karts for the children. The sanitary facilities were very well maintained.Translating
Nice site which is situated within a 10min walk to Fort Bourtange. Very friendly reception. Toilet block nice and clean. Washing machine and tumble dryer €5 token per appliance. Very good. We stayed on the camping field as the Motorhome hard standing wasn’t as nice. Field drains well after a big storm. Would recommend. Translating
We paid €15.00 for a camper pitch and €1.75 tourist tax per person. A total of €17.50 for one night. The tourist tax is therefore paid per person, which is convenient when travelling alone. We received one free shower token per person, allowing four minutes of showering. Very friendly lady at reception. Beautiful campsite and clean toilet block.Translating
Very quiet and very friendly staff.Translating
A classic Dutch campsite. Everything is available without much fuss. Very nicely surrounded by mature trees. The motorhome pitches are at the edge of the campsite, unfortunately on gravel.Translating
Great campsite! A peaceful place where you can relax. The host family takes good care of the campsite. Food and drinks are available in the canteen at weekends. We will definitely come back! Everything is fine, including the price! Highly recommended for those seeking peace and quiet.Translating

Super-friendly welcome. We were passing through and stayed only one night. We had a lovely comfort pitch overlooking a beautiful green meadow. Sanitary facilities clean and tidy. The castle complex is a short walk away.Translating
