Europarcs Bad Hoophuizen

The sanitary facilities are far too few and dirty. 3 toilets for the men, 4 for the women. 3 showers for the men, 3 for the women. For washing up, a wooden shack with a trough and a small electric water heater. So after one wash-up, you have to wait 10 minutes for hot water. Otherwise, beautiful.

The pitches are level and spacious, with gravel for the camper and a bit of grass. The sanitary facilities (a container) and the dishwashing area are unacceptable for the exorbitant price of €45. The holiday park itself is beautifully situated with two sandy beaches. Ideal for windsurfing, provided you have a weed fin. There's a huge shallow area.

A quiet spot, but for €38 a night, you'd expect more. The sanitary facilities (an aging container block) are anything but good. The shower doesn't drain, leaving you ankle-deep in the water, and the toilet is held in place by a wooden block. They advertise the indoor pool and mini-market, but don't mention that everything closes at 5:00 PM. The restaurant isn't always open either.
