Unfriendly staff, poor electrics that took more than 12 hours to fix a fuse, so u might as well not pay for electric. Can only get in/out of the site when the reception is open (which they don't tell you when you check-in). You have to pay for a shower or hot water for washing (the waters not even hot). Good Wi-Fi, but I purchased two days and was only given one, which I didn't find out until the reception was closed and I could do nothing about it. I want to stay a third night in the area, but I won't be doing it here.
Travelling party: Family with children <4 years
The staff was incredibly unfriendly and the "amenities" are very expensive. They even charge for hot water. The place was clean however. The restaurant has very odd opening hours. It's definitely a place for caravan camping, with electricity and such, but not a tent or backpacking friendly camping experience.
Travelling party: Seniors
Arriving unplanned late Tuesday at Ijmuiden, a friendly local phoned that night for me to get a pitch to no avail. So I "wild camped" nearby not many places for that. I arrived late morning on the Wednesday at the site since my ferry was the Thursday evening still need a stayover. Staff seemed friendly enough but did talk to others while attending to me.
As already stated by others, it was a surprise to find that with top range pricing still had to pay for a shower. I only realised this after trying to insert coins into the box. Dressing and trudging back to van for money and visiting reception earns no point for that outcome! The facilities were clean and well maintained so only 3 stars because of the meanness of showers, otherwise it would have been 5*.
I have travelled through Ijmuiden many a time so this stay over let me enjoy the wonderful local surroundings with very pleasant walking and cycling while enjoying the local beers and food.
