Camping “The Burgundian”

An In-depth Look at Camping "De Boergondiër" in De Krim

Camping "De Boergondiër," located on Parallelweg in De Krim, presents itself as more than just a campsite. It's run by sisters Jolanda and Inge Theisens, along with their mother Dinie, and the personal, warm approach is reflected in almost every review. With a very high average score of 4.8 from over one hundred reviews, it's clear this establishment has built a loyal fan base. But what makes this alojamiento so special, and are there any criticisms? We delve deeper into guest experiences and the amenities offered.

The Pitches and Unique Accommodation Options

One of De Boergondiër's most praised features is its exceptionally spacious pitches. Often exceeding 150 to 180 square meters, they offer a sense of privacy and space not found at every campsite. The grass is meticulously maintained, so much so that the pitches are car-free to protect the grass. A unique service is that the owners transport the caravan to the correct pitch using a small tractor, which guests find a pleasant and caring service. This contributes to a relaxing start to their holiday.

For those who don't bring their own camping gear, the campsite offers a diverse range of alternative accommodations . The selection goes beyond the standard rental accommodations found in many places.

• The Chalets: There are several wooden cabins , also known as "Cool Lodges," fully equipped for families. These chalets, such as "The Palace" and "The Castle," offer the comfort of a private shower, toilet, and full amenities, making them a great alternative to traditional vacation rentals .
• Unique Accommodations: What truly sets De Boergondiër apart are its creative, smaller accommodations. Guests can choose to stay in the "Milk Can" or the "Droomstam" (Dream Trunk). These compact, charming accommodations offer a unique experience, comparable to a cozy posada or a modern albergue . They are perfect for a short stay or for those looking for something different than a tent.
• Retro Caravan: For a nostalgic experience, an original retro caravan from 1979 is available for rent, which exudes the atmosphere of yesteryear.

This variety shows that the campsite is not only aimed at the traditional camper, but also at guests looking for a special kind of hospedaje .

Facilities: More than Standard

A Unique Healthcare Facility: Holiday Dialysis

The most exceptional aspect of Camping De Boergondiër is undoubtedly the on-site holiday dialysis option. Co-owner Jolanda Theisens is also a dialysis nurse, a combination that has led to the realization of a professional dialysis facility on the campsite, in collaboration with Dianet. This makes the campsite unique in Europe and offers kidney patients the opportunity to enjoy a carefree holiday, something that is often a major challenge for them. Guests can use night dialysis, leaving them free to enjoy their holiday during the day. This facility is an absolute game-changer and is greatly appreciated by the guests. It transforms the campsite from a simple holiday accommodation to a place that meets a vital care need, something rarely seen in hotels or standard resorts .

General Facilities and Atmosphere

The campsite is very child-friendly, with an abundance of play equipment. There's a large sandbox, an air trampoline, swings, a climbing frame, and various go-karts and bicycles. This provides plenty of entertainment for younger guests. The sanitary facilities are described as clean and tidy, with the added benefit of underfloor heating. There's also the option to rent private sanitary facilities, which many guests consider a major plus. A barn on the property sells regional products, such as meat, dairy, and ice cream from local farmers, enhancing the authentic farm experience.

The Other Side: Points for Consideration

Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there are a few things potential guests should consider. The focus on families and the presence of numerous play equipment mean that the daytime can be lively and sometimes noisy. One reviewer noted that this doesn't always make the campsite feel "peaceful." This is an important consideration for those seeking absolute tranquility.

Another point of criticism is the lighting on the site. It can be very dark in the evenings, which can make the walk to the restrooms less pleasant, especially from the rear pitches. While this can be an advantage for those who enjoy a dark starry sky, it's a practical drawback for others. The distance from the rear pitches to the restrooms is also cited as a drawback. Guests with limited mobility or traveling with young children are advised to request a pitch closer to the facilities when booking.

A Campsite with a Heart

Camping "De Boergondiër" is no ordinary hostería or campsite. It's a place driven by the passion and hospitality of its owners. The combination of extremely spacious pitches, unique and diverse accommodation options from villa -style chalets to cozy tiny houses, and an abundance of play space for children makes it a top destination for families. The absolute crowning jewel is the professional dialysis facility, a life-changing service that demonstrates that the owners think beyond mere commercial interests.

Potential visitors should be aware of the lively, child-friendly atmosphere that can prevail during the day and the limited lighting at night. For those who don't mind this, De Boergondiër offers an authentic, welcoming, and exceptionally well-maintained camping experience. It's a place where the term "hospedaje" takes on its true meaning: a warm and hospitable welcome for everyone.
