We are delighted with our stay at this place. We spent half a day and one night very comfortably. There is grass, trees, and a lake nearby, and you can empty wastewater and take on water, all free of charge. Thank you very much.
The pond is surrounded by meadows. Tractor noise all day and even at night. We did not stay.
The lake is closed off. It is currently affected by cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), so swimming is not possible. Otherwise it is a nice place, but given the weather we continued on anyway.
We spent 2 quiet nights with a van in the barrier-controlled parking area, with a height limit of 2 m. There is a designated space for motorhomes right next to it with no height limit. There is a restaurant; note that it closes earlier on Monday evening (7 p.m.), which caught us out. The water station is free and self-service. Toilets apparently open 24/7 near the restaurant.
It is a free parking area. Some people spread out over 2 or 3 spaces. The locals do not appreciate it much, especially since the municipality provides a special free motorhome parking area less than 100 m away. Otherwise, a nice stopover. Note: this refers to the parking area, not the motorhome service area.
Great quiet place with a view of the lake. Suitable for motorhomes over 2.85 m.
Great quiet place with a view of the lake. Limited to 2.10 m.
Nice place; we spent a quiet night. Near the lake. There are various walking and running routes starting from the motorhome site.
We spent a quiet night there, in the first parking area on the left, facing the lake. The only things missing are bins and toilets, which are on the opposite shore.
Apart from the lack of access to bins and an occasional dull noise, the spot is great: quiet, spacious, and very close to the lake. 100 m away there is a leisure center with a beach, restaurant, and freely accessible toilets. Two parking areas: one without a barrier and with a motorhome service point, and one with a 2.10 m height barrier.
Free motorhome parking. Close to the lake.
