2nd time good but not as good as previously
Our visit here in July was our 3rd to Holland and 2nd to this site. As always Holland was great, we loved it, particularly as the weather was superb for our 10 night stay. The site is great in terms of facilities and location with lots for adults and children to do both on and off site. We spent days out at the beach (a short bike ride away, Leiden (by bus), Haarlem, and Amsterdam (by train) and thoroughly enjoyed all of these. We were pleasantly surprised that we were permitted to break our train journey to Amsterdam to spend a few hours in Haarlem. Bikes are a must in Holland and we used ours to visit the lovely towns and villages in the locality. For the sake of balance I'll report on the lesser enjoyable matters. Firstly the amount of air traffic was much more than last year and we assume this is because of the time of our stay, July this year compared to May last year. Secondly some late night chatter from adjacent Eurocamp chalets was annoying on a couple of occasions. Although this didn't disrupt our sleep too much our neighbours, who were in our party, said that they had been kept awake until the early hours on a couple of occasions. Lastly the weakness of GBP against the Euro mean that shopping, pubs, and restaurants feel a lot more expensive now so be prepared.
Love the Netherlands

OK for a first stop for a few nights
Good site
June 2016 visit
Booked this site for 3 nights because of previous reviews but wish it had only been 1. Pitches are far too small - we had booked months in advance and had given full details of caravan length etc but we were given pitch which barely accommodated it and we were barely 3 ft from motor home next door. Toilet/showers ok but we have been on sites where this accommodation is streets ahead. No apparent control over football being played around the pitches. Had to park car away from van. Happens to be on direct flight path into Schipol with flights going on all night. Not impressed at all.
Response from the Caravan Club:
Thank you for leaving this review on our website. We are disappointed that the site did not meet your expectations, we have contacted the site and made them aware of the issues that you have raised.
Response from Camping Koningshof:
We are very sorry that your member did not have such a good experience on our site. Unfortunately, pitches on continental coastal campsites do not have the large pitches which you could find in forest areas inland. At Koningshof we offer special pitches that are larger than standard. We keep improving our site on a yearly basis and for 2016-2017 we are implementing larger pitches over all, more special pitches and renovation of toilets/showers.
Schiphol Airport is 30 miles north from here, and I can only admit that in this radius we have to accept minor noise nuisance.
Thank you for your comments!
