Disappointed

Stayed here Sept 2018 overall very disappointed, First, let us make this review very clear and would like to point out at no time will this review criticize any of the staff on reception who are brilliant! However, the site well that is another story. First, the pitch we had chosen was what they term here, as a “Comfort Pitch” however cannot see where the comfort starts and finishes in comparison to any other pitches on site. As to us, they are all the same! Unable to connect drainage pipes to drain as drains secured down so had to use waste hog! Hard standing well is it really. As all it turns out to be is, a section of fine sand & gravel which your caravan or motor home sits on just! However at the back of the van well this turns out to be a mixture of dead grass and mud which of course due to usage turns into mush so making connections and emptying anything on the offside of the caravan a little dirty on your shoes or trainers! In the UK we are somewhat spoilt for choice as we tend to stay on sites under the banner of “Tranquil Parks” Now these sites are really “Comfort Pitches” why not look them up for yourself! Back to this site review, these are nowhere near comfort pitches! not when the caravan next to you is a couple of feet away and considering our little enclave had 5 pitches on it all within feet of each other (What ever happened to any rules about spacing and Health & Safety don’t think the Dutch have caught onto that one yet) its more pack them in and space them closely! The question here of course is what if a fire broke out the caravans and motorhomes are far too close together! So forgive us for saying, how can these be “Comfort Pitches”? The only views you get is into the caravans or motorhomes next to you or over from you! The facilities, well let’s start by stating the obvious, and that is of course all of them are very well used daily by all onsite (which is quite a few in such a small space), a little dated you could say. For us men well first into the loo’s then out of them in to the basins cubicles and then out again into the shower cubicles all in different rooms of course! So be careful you do not catch cold. Another moan for the showers is their taps which constantly need you leaning against them to stop them going off every 30 seconds! Toilets! Well a word to the wise on this point, take your own loo roll as over the weekend, cleaning is not updated and therefore while we were there hand drying towels did not exist in the loo’s and there are no warm air dryers either, and also most had no loo paper in them! The site does have a decent restaurant, which serves reasonable food choices from 16.00 hours every day, and there is a great park next to the site with some great walks and cycle paths. As for staying here again, we think that would be a definite “NO”! Now when we next come across from Harwich to The Hook of Holland we shall just continue to drive right through Holland and out the other side!

It strikes me that gatewaya89 has been to a totally different site than the rest of us. For a start the access point for waste pipes on the Comfort pitches is through an aperture in the side of the drain cover. Ours worked absolutely fine. Secondly the definition of Comfort Pitch is to hook up to water & drainage constantly- something they would have achieved if they'd bothered to look or ask the very helpful site staff. Thirdly, the toilets etc ARE cleaned every day and the cleaner is there most of the day. Yes the hand towels do run out but that's life.Again had they bothered to look  they would have seen the plans displayed for the new shower/toilet block, work on which is starting this winter after the site closes for the season. By all means gatewaya89 pass this site by. It appears not to be your cup of tea- but then I wonder what is? This is a great site for access to the whole of Southern Holland- even the North of the country is only just over an hour's drive away. We are very particular as to which sites we stay at both in the UK and abroad, and have stayed at Delft for the last 6 years with no issues whatsoever.

Stayed here loads of times. Its not a CC site, not pretending to be one and in my experience in European camping it is a good choice. The pitches are closer together than in UK but has never bothered us - in fact some campers offered us a beer and a chat whilst sitting outside. Toilet and showers have always been kept to a good standard when we have stayed. Shop bakes fresh bread etc every day and you can pre-order if you want to guarantee you requirements are met. Great UK sat tv reception, no night time noise to speak of, close to Delft by foot or cycle, great rail and tram connections to local attractions from Delft station. Cannot speak for all but in all fairness if you want a reasonably priced campsite which is close to a pretty town with a good public transport connection you cannot go wrong really. Plus don't miss the Thursday market in Delft town - the kibbling is "mega - lekka"!!!
