- Barbara W.October 2024AdvantagesSize of the pitches, friendliness, lots of play facilities for children, bread roll service and small storeNegativessmall disadvantages, see textbeautiful place, just over the borderThe site is not far from the German border, close to Denekamp and cycle paths and the "Christmas wonderland" of Oosterik.
The pitches are big enough, but unfortunately the water still pools for days after the rain. Bread rolls from 8 am. Sanitary facilities good, but we had the impression that the floors... were not cleaned during our stay. (in the 2nd sanitary building)
The lighting is not available on some fields, so we had to go to the sanitary building in the dark with a flashlight. A flashlight was also an advantage there, as the motion detectors in the washrooms only come on when you have walked through the whole room. (2nd sanitary building)
However, as the price for the pitch was very reasonable, you have to overlook the little things.
Plenty of space for children to play. Staff very friendly. Cycle paths start right outside the door, you can easily cycle to Denekamp, Oldenzaal, Hengelo, Enschede or Nordhorn and Lingen.Automatically translated. - Patrick H.August 2024AdvantagesLots for children.

- Bernd S.July 2024AdvantagesBeautiful place like many others in the NetherlandsNegativesIt rained so heavily twice that an estimated quarter of the pitch was flooded by 5-10 cm. The following day, two tractors spent the whole day sucking up the water. After drying off, the next campers came to these pitches, which then flooded again.Flooded tent and pitchesI drive home before the next rain.
With a caravan, only the awning is messed up, at least you sleep dry.
Unsuitable for tent vacationers.Automatically translated. - Christian S.October 2023Advantages- nice operators - good restaurant with friendly service - great private sanitary facilities with sink and fridge - good location -as our pitch was free, we were able to enter the site in the morningNegatives- many pitches are under water when it rains - Access to the pitch very muddy in rainy weather muddy - Private bathroom was completely cleaned on arrival within 2 minutes, so it was not clean! -No fresh water connection at the comfort pitch with private sanitary facilities - Prices in the restaurant are overpriced.A great campsite with a lot of potential for improvementWe stayed at this campsite in the fall.
On arrival we were given a friendly welcome at reception and it was no problem to change to a higher-quality pitch with private sanitary facilities.
Arriving on our large pitch in the sunshine, we immediately felt at home.
However, this changed in rainy weather....
The pitch, and not only here, had large puddles where the water lingered for a long time. The access road with a bend to our pitch J32 was rutted and very muddy, which does not do justice to a comfort pitch.
In the beautiful restaurant, with covered terrace and very courteous staff, you could eat very tasty, here the prices were high.
A nice swimming pool, many small and large playgrounds spread over the entire campsite, daily entertainment was offered.
Summary:
Nice campsite with a few construction sites, which the new operator will certainly rectify.Automatically translated. - Stefan W.September 2023AdvantagesLocationNegativesSanitary cleanlinessGood location with shortcomingsWe stayed at this campsite for 10 days.
The location is very good, from here you can make great trips by bike to the nearby towns (Nordhorn, Lingen, Meppen, Denekamp).
The staff are very friendly.
The place has very good facilities.
In my opinion, much more work needs to be done on the details.
Water... taps splash in all directions, drains in the showers sometimes do not drain properly, the cleanliness in the second wash house (G area) leaves a lot to be desired, of course if it is only cleaned in the morning when fully occupied.
It is also unpleasant that the roof of the swimming pool is not opened at 30 degrees outside temperature because it is defective.Automatically translated. - Jani D.July 2023Advantages- Children's entertainment - Beach - Restaurant with the best pizza ever - also to take away to the campsite - Mini store with bread rolls Bread rolls and pizza are made on site.Negatives- Sanitary facilities already a bit outdated - Dishwashing areas often not clean - Limited facilities when it rainsGreat with childrenWe were only there for a few days to test whether this type of camping was for us.
And it was great! Unfortunately the weather didn't always play along, at least there is indoor children's entertainment in the mornings, the rest of the day you have to watch. Of course, the covered swimming pool is also... full on days like this.
But when the summer weather is really good, it's really great.
All the staff were always really friendly and motivated. They help immediately with small problems and everyone always feels responsible.
And the program was great, also well divided into age groups and the entertainers are very popular with all the children - and rightly so : )Automatically translated. - Julia B.April 2023AdvantagesPlayground equipment, mini market, cleanliness, friendlinessNegativesCold water in the sanitary buildingFamily campsiteA beautiful, clearly laid out site with many different rental properties and quite large pitches. We were there with the WW. Particularly suitable for families. A great playground at the entrance with a large climbing frame and bouncy cushion. There are also lots of individual pieces of play equipment... dotted around the site. There is a small indoor play area, but it quickly becomes overcrowded in bad weather. There is a small swimming pool where the roof can be opened in summer. However, we did not use this or the daily children's entertainment. The beach and the small soccer pitch with artificial turf looked great, definitely a highlight in warmer temperatures.
The sanitary buildings are well maintained. The temperature of the showers cannot be adjusted and the shower jet is very weak. The water was often only lukewarm. This was due to a faulty pump, which is due to be replaced in the next few days. However, comments from other campers suggest that the problem has existed for some time. The fact that you can't adjust the temperature when showering is not really up to date. The staff were friendly, the mini-market had everything you need, including delicious bread rolls. We didn't use the restaurant. It looked inviting, but expensive. You have to want to afford the breakfast buffet at Easter for €27.50 per person... 😉Automatically translated. - H. M.August 2022AdvantagesSwimming pool and lake Children's programNegatives-Great campsite for families with childrenLovely campsite for families with children. We stayed in one of the bungalows a little away from the actual campsite, but in a very quiet location with a view of the countryside.Automatically translated.
- Christa F.June 2022AdvantagesIt's great for cyclingNegativesNo fly screen in front of the windowsPrice-performance ratioWe were guests as a family 2 + 2 in an 8 person bungalow. The "bedrooms" were extremely small.
No fly screens in front of the windows. No second key. The equipment of the kitchen very very modest.
We paid a lot of money for 10 nights, which is disproportionate to the service.
But what annoys us the... most in retrospect is that we have not yet been refunded the deposit. We have repeatedly phoned and emailed ..... with excuses again and again, very annoying
Our grandchildren liked it.....for us it is out of the question
It is out of the question again.Automatically translated. - Gerd B.May 2022Advantagesvery littleNegativesMany things have changed for the worseNew owners = money rules the worldMay 2022
We have been guests of the Wassing family for many years and have always felt very comfortable. Now we have been back as guests on this site for the first time after Corona. We were
very disappointed, as the family flair of the new owners was no longer there and commerce had priority. We still... knew an employee from the previous owner, as he was the one who was always friendly, helpful and competent. That made us very happy and we would like to thank him for that. As we were looking for a pitch for 2 weeks for our camper van and had not booked in advance, we were offered pitches with sanitary blocks at horrendous prices. It was only after we pointed out the ACSI-CARD several times that the reception staff were able to accommodate us with the price. It seemed that they were not particularly interested in guests with ACSI.
There was a lot of unrest. The neighbors' quiet times at night were often not respected, and people partied until after midnight. That didn't happen at Mr. Wassing's. Also, every afternoon, the staff drove an electric car across the entire site with loud booming music to invite children who were not present to the entrance for entertainment.
Unfortunately, we no longer liked it here and will not be returning.Automatically translated. - Sebastian S.May 2022AdvantagesLocation of the campsiteNegatives- Sanitary facilities -Pitches unkempt - animation - Price-performancePrice performance is not right at allWe were on the site over Ascension Day. We were very disappointed with the price-performance ratio. For 2 adults and 2 children over 60€ a night unfortunately does not fit at all with what is offered on the site. Worst of all are the sanitary facilities. Far too small and above all very dirty. The cleaning... was very poor. The shower system is a disaster (no temperature control possible, far too little water pressure)
-The pitches are very unkempt (loose mown grass lies on the pitch, now unfortunately also in heaps in the caravan....). The
- The animation is only in Dutch, although there are a lot of Germans on site and the Herenze is right next door. Therefore not usable for our children.
Unfortunately, we couldn't understand the 5 stars at all, but that's how various fellow campers with whom we spoke felt.
We will not be coming backAutomatically translated. - H.-G. A.April 2022AdvantagesBeautiful area for walking and cycling, nice staff, clean sanitary facilities,NegativesThe sanitary blocks were cold and only a little lukewarm water came out of the showers, which is not adjustable.Bad sanitary buildings, otherwise nice and friendly staff niceI have no problem paying separately for showers, but here you only get lukewarm water with the guest card. The shower jet is so small that you almost hit your head against the wall to wash your hair. The bigger problem is that you only get one temperature and it's only lukewarm. This is the first campsite... where I have frozen in the shower and afterwards. From the feeling I would say that the rooms are only heated by the sun. That may be enough in midsummer, but not when it's a bit colder. Next time I would only take a pitch with a private bathroom, otherwise no more. Otherwise everything was fine and the staff were also nice.
The few stars are due to the wash houses. This is absolutely not up to date.Automatically translated. - Stephan B.July 2020AdvantagesChild-friendly, super nice staff, very nice owners. The campsite has everything a campsite needs. The whole place is super clean, especially the sanitary buildings.NegativesThere is nothing I didn't likeCamping De PapillonA very nice, family-run campsite that leaves nothing to be desired. Despite these difficult times, we always felt safe and welcome.
You can really tell that the operators put their heart and soul into what they do. They have also thought of wheelchair users in every situation.
Great place, we will definitely be back.Automatically translated. - Peter E.September 2019AdvantagesFriendliness of the operators, cleanliness of the sanitary facilitiesNegativesNo serious disadvantages.Great CP.We received a very friendly welcome on arrival. We were able to choose our pitch ourselves at our leisure. Very good and informative briefing by the operators. Supermarket really very small, but you can be in Denekamp (Jumbo, Aldi) in 10 minutes by bike. The site is very quiet, very large pitches, everything is wonderful. The sanitary facilities are first class and above all very clean. We will definitely visit this site again.Automatically translated.
- Jessica B.August 2019AdvantagesFriendliness, large pitches, suitable for anglers, fun and games for young and oldVery well maintained campsiteMy husband, our 2 children (3/6) and I arrived on a Friday. We were given a very friendly welcome. The site was explained to us and, very importantly, where our pitch was. Once we arrived at the pitch, the kids set off and quickly made friends with other children. There is a large lake with a sandy beach,... an indoor swimming pool with a water playground and lots of small and large playgrounds. The sanitary facilities were very clean and tidy. The food in the restaurant is delicious and the service is very friendly. You can just tell that children are very welcome.Automatically translated.
- Simon H.July 2019AdvantagesGreat swimming lake, water playground, friendly staffNegativesHot water only with card available at reception.Super campsite especially for childrenThe campsite is simply great for small children. This can also be seen from the fact that Camping de Papillon has so much to offer for kids: there are 2 fishing ponds and a swimming lake, as well as a small indoor pool with a water playground. There are large pitches and clean, modern sanitary facilities.... Considering this wide range of facilities, the price is absolutely ok. We stayed at the campsite in our tent for a few days and were completely satisfied. In my opinion, one small drawback is the cumbersome hot water check card, which takes some getting used to.

- dominique h.July 2019AdvantagesClean, large pitches, great for dogsNegativesfew garbage cansNice clean place !2 hours back from De Papillon in Denekamp/Twente/Holland...we were there for a week, comfort pitch with everything included. Very large pitches, laid out in a circle around the playgrounds as is usual in Holland, lots of space for the children to play on the pitches. Unfortunately everything was very... dry, no meadow left. Internet works well, but costs according to MB (10Gig for 15 Euros). Sanitary suuuuuuper clean, they are there all day scrubbing. Lots of toilets, showers etc. Really great. What we missed were garbage cans, if the dog makes a pile you have to walk from pillar to post with the bag. Great entertainment (in Dutch!), our son even learned compressed air diving (for 6 euros, so top!). Very quiet for the many children and dogs, which I think is due to the spacious pitches. Mini market is really small, but enough for bread rolls. Restaurant expensive, but good. It was a really nice week there. You can walk everywhere with your dog, there are also extra routes around the site where they can run free. As the site itself is very small (250 pitches), you can get everywhere quickly.Automatically translated.
- Sonja V.July 2019AdvantagesBeautiful plots. Bathing lake with large sandy beach. Covered swimming pool. Modern sanitary facilities. Starting point for beautiful bike tours.Very nice campsiteReally very nice campsite with some very large pitches. Lots of play facilities for children, a small, very nice bathing lake with a sandy beach and a covered swimming pool. The sanitary facilities were exceptionally good: new, modern, beautiful and comfortable. I also loved the large family showers.... I personally appreciated the proximity to Nordhorn, which is also very easy to reach by bike. The operators are very friendly, we felt very comfortable and will definitely be back.Automatically translated.
