Camping Papillon Country Resort

Several times here, lovely clean place. Too late this year,pool closed. Proprietor let us stay 2 extra nights. Thank you

First class and well run camping and caravan site, nothing was too much hassle. Indoor and outdoor pool were both welcome given the heat in June. Great example of how a site can be run using natural resources such as solar power and rain water. Pitches were all of a decent size, loads of play are areas for the kids, toilet blocks were superb and always clean. Very scenic location that also catered / suited cyclists. 2 well stocked fishing ponds for the discerning anglers I caught a few roach and dace and saw some big Tench and Carp also being caught, the outdoor pool had Barbel of approx. 5kilo swimming around in the shallows unfortunately you can't fish in this area as it's designated for paddling and swimming. Plenty of butterflies, given they try their best to support mother nature at all times on the site by careful pruning of shrubs, trees etc. Wildlife abounds given the location we saw Bats, Jays, Woodpeckers and Kingfishers to name but a few. Really close to German border which gave the option of buying groceries in either country of your choice we tended to go to Germany as it was slightly cheaper, on site shop is good for essentials such as milk, bread etc. Will defo make a point of going back can't rate it highly enough.

Fantastic place to stay, lots of things to do and places see.

Great campsite. Well laid out, really friendly staff and owner. We will return!

What a great campsite! We spent a week here in early July and would highly recommend this eco-friendly campsite. Pitched up right next to the swimming pool and one of the many (excellent) playgrounds and near to reception, toilet blocks etc. The pitch itself was spacious and very relaxing. There is a fabulous lake which is even better than the photos online suggest. Our 3 year old loved the shallow area and indeed found his water feet this week in this part of the lake. The older kids loved looking at the little fish and jumping off the iceberg further out. As for the pool, it's perfect for small and younger kids in that the shallow end is really shallow and the deep end isn't so deep so we were able to relax a bit while the kids had a blast. There are loads of cycle paths nearby with the German city of Nordhorn only a 30 minute cycle for us ... about 15 minutes for the Dutch I'm sure. Nordhorn has a good zoo, waterway pedal boats and a lovely lake port area where the food is spot on. Plenty of supermarkets nearby too and a great spot to kick off from either back into central Holland or further on into Germany. All in all, a wonderful campsite and one we hope to revisit in the years ahead.
