We have been camping here several times. You can also swim in the lake as a day guest and the restaurant can also be used without visiting the lake. The place is highly recommended for camping, especially with children. The lake is not deep and there are numerous offers for children, such as playgrounds, rental of various vehicles, mini golf,… Unfortunately, dogs are prohibited.
