Arendsnes Holiday Resort

The setting is really lovely. Lots of trees and birds but that is where it ends. The bathrooms are antiquated and insufficient at best. The piles and piles of leaves and cut-off branches just get dumped on the banks behind the campsites and, clearly, maintenance is a thing of the distant past. A most disappointing month spent there. The one caravan that was left there could only be described as a squatter camp in the making. Sad....

I had a great time here, although myself and my family only went for a few hours.

This place is a nice place if you are not feeling the beach for the day or the wind is bad, it has alot of benches and tables to have a splended swimming day offering a kiddies pool a adult pool and a super tube.

I would recommend a warning sign to inform one that you might encounter snakes .

I was told this is normal which it is but informing day visitors would let them be cautious and look out for snakes while children are playing there.

Other than this i personally think this is worth it and will go there again.

Affordable Caravan park with rustic ablution blocks very lovely setting and large campsites with electricity. Restaurants and shops within walking distance. Very close to the beach and protected from the wind. Really a great place to camp and unwind.

This accomodation did not provide value for money and cannot be recommended. It boasted very basic facilities. The small room was equipped with a double bed with barely enough room to walk from the entrance door. The self catering facility consisted of a sort of shelf/kitchen on one side with microwave, small fridge and sink crammed onto it. Two cheap plastic chairs were squeezed into the remaining space. The toilet/shower room was located at the back behind a sliding door.. No hot water was available and an overflowing drain was backing up and pushing out of the shower floor outlet drain. No towel was provided. A tiny television set mounted very high up on a steel bracket did not work which was just as well because it was difficult to view up there. The woman in reception was distinctly unfriendly.

I ADVISE THAT YOU DO NOT COME TO ARENDSNES. If I could give minus one I would for my experience. Do yourself a favour and look around at other camping sights that go for simalr rates, have Amazing facilities, "enough toilets" and views, spend a little extra and go to a decent camping site. Their website is misleading. Camping stand are way too small, there is a serious issue with a lack of parking. We had to rent a room just so that we could have a decent bathroom as there is one shower each for men and women for the entire top section of the camp site. There is almost no security, anyone can walk in at any time they like, as the gate is open majority of the day and there is a large walk way next to the gate by the pool that is not secured, defeating the object of having secured gates, anyone off the street can access at anytime with ease. You don't feel safe walking around at night, especially coming from the pool side that has no lights. To add too the lack of security, when we arrived, we were advised by the owner and fellow campers that they had an incident the night before, where someone walked into the site and stole food from a few caravans and a gas braai.
