Duindoorn 45

I stayed for a week and really liked it. Since I didn't know the area, exploring was fun. There is some industry nearby, but once you start discovering the beautiful spots, it’s easier to tune that out. The park is clean and lovely, and everyone was very nice. One week wasn’t enough, so I’m going back. Check the weather before you go, since the beach is just around the corner.

Staying in one of the small houses felt quite different from a hotel, but I liked it. You have to strip the sheets and take out the rubbish before checkout, and the staff are more informal, especially with check-in, but I was happy with the stay overall. It’s close to the bunker museum and there’s a handy bus stop nearby. You do need to signal the driver if you want to get off there.

The location and the bathroom were the only good parts of this campsite. The bathroom itself is really clean, but the showers only have one setting, and it’s way too hot. The staff were insanely unfriendly, some of the worst people I’ve encountered on my trip. I’d give the campsite a firm 2/10.

This campsite was a bad experience. You pay 20 cents each time for just 20 seconds of hot water. Washing dishes and showering both require special coins that cost 1.25€, and the shower only lasts five minutes with merely warm water. During our two weeks there, the water was truly hot only twice.
