- Maria U.August 2024AdvantagesBeautiful locationNegativesFew shadows. Little community, when it gets crowded, the peace and quiet is gone.If you like sand, lots of sun and windLocation is very nice.
But very sandy or windy, depending on the pitch.
Little comfort, rather nature camping.
Parking spaces are not sufficient in summer, parking outside the campsite on Texel requires a parking vignette, which can be booked online.
Cars are not allowed on the site.
Most pitches cannot be accessed directly. That means → towing.Automatically translated. - Michi V.May 2023AdvantagesNo caravan to caravan. Every pitch is different and interesting. Peace and quiet in the off-season. No cars and therefore little traffic. Proximity to the beachNegativesThere was nothing for us.Something different... Really great!We really liked it with our 5-year-old daughter. The pitch and the wash houses are rather minimalist. However, they are clean and functional. It was an adventure in the dunes for our 5-year-old daughter. There is a lot to do on the island. Bike rides, cuddling animals, Ecomare etc. The indoor playground... is a good choice in rainy weather. The cars are parked in a central parking lot and the walk can take 15 minutes. However, we found it rather pleasant to see hardly any vehicles in the parking lots. Shopping facilities in De Koog, also within walking distance.
We will definitely be back again.Automatically translated. - Stefan M.August 2021Advantages-Negatives-Campsite with little goodwillWe had booked two nights at the Kogerstrand campsite for the beginning of August 2021. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the booking because NL was classified as a Corona high incidence area. We didn't want to go through the quarantine measures for our (unvaccinated) children on their return.
I asked de... Krim Texel if we could find an accommodating solution. My recommendation was a voucher for next year. Unfortunately, I was flatly rebuffed and referred to the 10 "Crimean securities" - the booking conditions. I was charged 90% of the camping fees + €26 (!) processing fee. Probably enough Germans come either way and customer friendliness is enough to suggest it on the website. You are just one of many booking numbers....
We will give this campsite a wide berth next year.Automatically translated. - Jens S.August 2021Advantages- Camping in the dunes close to the beach - Individual and spacious pitches - Little car traffic on the site (as a rule, the campsite may only be entered on arrival and departure days) - (free) dishwashers in the washroomsNegatives- the distances are sometimes a bit long on foot - no store on site (but the nearest stores in De Koog are quite close and at least quickly accessible by bike)Unique location in the dunesEven though the weather was sometimes very stormy and chilly, we had a great vacation at the Kogerstrand campsite.
The location in the middle of the dunes is unique and very close to nature. No two pitches are the same and the distances to the neighbors are quite generous.
The staff were helpful and friendly. Some of the sanitary buildings were a bit old, but always clean.Automatically translated. - Carina N.August 2021Advantages-The location between the beach and the village is really great. You're just a few steps from the sea and if you fancy a little stroll, you just go in the other direction. -Absolutely natural layout -Well embedded in the dunes. -Wonderful to switch off.Negatives-Little information and poor signage (toilets, garbage). - Pitch often has to be crossed by tent campers.Pure nature for those seeking relaxationIf you are looking for peace and relaxation, this is certainly the right place for you. Families with small children and dog owners are also in good hands here.
It's so great to run along the beach with your dog or explore the island by bike.
The beach is just a few steps away, as is the village where... you can find everything you need. It doesn't matter that there is no minimarket on the site itself.
However, better signage on the site would be desirable. Especially at the sanitary facilities.
The main entrance to one wash house is marked 'Ladies' and 'Gentlemen', but when you go in there you are in the dishwashing and laundry room. If you go in from the back, there is no signage at all and you have to use colors that are not quite gender-appropriate (red=ladies, blue=men). I also had to search for the garbage bin after 2 days.
Overall, however, a wonderful vacation despite the bad weather (which is not the site's fault)
We will definitely be back at some point.Automatically translated. - RMF R.October 2020AdvantagesWe were looking forward to the great locationNegativesin Corona times to go stubbornly according to plan and not to be accommodatingNot customer-friendly in times of CoronaManagement of the campsite not accommodating. Either cancel at the usury conditions or come and keep quarantine after returning from the risk area. Our dear neighbors are not interested in what measures the German government decides, Texel would be safe.....ich think there will be plenty of space on... the pitches this autumn, as probably no German will come.......
A request for rebooking or vouchers was categorically rejected. Thought in special times you can also make special measures.....but what for you, they get the money anywayAutomatically translated. - Mark K.August 2020AdvantagesSun, sand, wind and sea. Incredibly beautiful and decelerating. No glampers because it's too narrow 😉. A beach that is second to none. We always went shopping in the village on foot with the handcart.NegativesDe Koog is an overcrowded tourist resort. The staff were not always so motivated. The restaurant on the beach has a unique view, but also such high prices for defrosted and reheated pizzas. Unfortunately not enough parking spaces for all campers. Weak WLANDune camping incredible locationVery great island, with excellent ferry connections. The campsite is located on a beautiful beach and can be reached on foot in 5-10 minutes, depending on where the pitch is located, the site is very large due to the sometimes very spacious pitches. The wash houses were partly quite old, but clean and... in Corona times the old houses with outside, individual toilets had real advantages.
We had pitch T22, which is located at the back half of the site from the sea and a good 1 km from the parking lot ON a dune. Super cool view, but really windy. Take a look at the rating of the individual pitches on the homepage before you book. Despite the wind, it was our best camping vacation and we will definitely be back.Automatically translated. - Miriam H.June 2020AdvantagesWe had an XXL pitch in the dunes. We were at the far end of the site, so it was very quiet. There was the sound of the waves. Lots of sand and lots of rabbits ...NegativesOur sanitary area was unfortunately very old in the back of our area. Two basins for washing dishes. The basins were not covered. Not so great in the rain. I didn't quite understand about the cars. We were only allowed on the grounds on arrival and departure. But it was funny that we kept seeing cars that could drive onto the site every day. Bicycles are really a must.... with shopping for a family quite difficult to lug around, what a shame!Nature super.....Camping super...Nice vacation at Kogerstrand. Except for small flaws. But we would still like to come back.Automatically translated.
- Jürgen Z.September 2019AdvantagesWLAN free of charge that is rather rare in GermanyNegativesAfter a week we no longer had a place in the ww where there was no sandSuper place in the middle of the dunes great beachA great place in the dunes the city can be reached on foot in 5 minutes the beach too we will definitely go there againAutomatically translated.
- Wulf D.May 2019AdvantagesPeace and quiet Hiking Super Dog friendly No car noiseNegativesSanitary facilities not all modernizedCamping and peace and quietBeautifully situated place in the dunes, very quiet no cars allowed 👍 Help with placing the WW in the sand 👍 Sanitary facilities ok there are older and newer wash houses on the site easy to reach. No problem with a bike, very polite and helpful 👍 very dog-friendly 👍 dogs should be able to catch rabbits... and pheasants, which are plentiful. Beach is well maintained, wonderful hiking on the water 👍 Bread roll service is ok and tasty, good selection 👍 In the dunes only 6A but we had no problem with coffee machine and fridge + smaller consumers 👍 Also in the dunes quite windy, important regarding awning. Barbecue when dry and windy only with gas or electric, coal only with permission 🤷♂️ We and our dog had a lot of fun and relaxation 👍👍Automatically translated.
- Wolfgang B.April 2019AdvantagesGreat location🏕NegativesNoneVery nice campsiteIt is a very nice campsite 🏕. The sanitary facilities are great and well maintained and the location is very nice, close to the beach ☀️und and it's a quick walk into town. Very nice and helpful staff throughout the campsite. Thank you for a very nice time. We would love to come back.Automatically translated.
- Christoph J.September 2018AdvantagesDog-friendly and quietNegativesLots of rabbits in the dunes which distracts one or two dogsDog-friendly campsite in the middle of the dunesVery quiet campsite in the middle of the dunes. Friendly and helpful staff. Our two dogs felt at home. Less than 5 minutes to the sea where the dogs were allowed to run free. Dogs are welcome in almost every store and beach bar. The rabbits in the dunes didn't always make it easy for our Great Dane to get to our parking space. Depending on the pitch, it is quite a long way to reach it. A bike is a must! We will definitely be back againAutomatically translated.
- Jörg S.September 2018AdvantagesDunes and beach, hardly any new-fangled-camping-beginner-luxury-campersNegativesStorm-prone, secure awnings well!!! Sand everywhere in the WowaDivided opinionI don't know, kind of good but also kind of stupid? We had a pitch with our caravan on a main footpath and next to a playground. It was narrow and sloping, so the camper van could only be parked in a POS. This meant that we would be the visual material for pedestrians walking from de Koog to the beach.... There was no sense of togetherness, everyone standing on their own, people sitting in their awnings.... where is the camper community? (but that's not the site's fault) Fortunately, there are no motorhomes with these new campers following a fad, who have put their parents' inheritance into a motorhome, these bores are not to be found there, which is an advantage of the site. If you come with an awning or awning, you should secure it well, very well, it can be stormy there. We took down our awning at 2:30 a.m. before our Dethleffs would have broken down. The sand is everywhere, in the caravan, in the car in your hair, you felt sandblasted, unfortunately so did our Wowa. The car regulations are difficult when shopping, you have to carry things a long way. I won't be going back, but I think the site is in a great location and is especially great for tents and nature lovers. It's great to pitch your tent in the dune valley not far from the water. If you don't like sand and straw in your vehicle, you might be in the wrong place. Everything is clean, the staff are friendly and happy to help. I love Holland but Texel is not my Holland.Automatically translated.
- Nadine D.July 2018AdvantagesGreat location, quiet but good infrastructure in the immediate vicinityNegativesNoneBeautiful campsite in a great locationSand, sand and sand everywhere...a beautiful campsite right in the dunes of de Koog. Fall asleep to the sound of the sea. Quiet atmosphere, pitches as big as described. Clean sanitary facilities (paths could be a bit long). Good infrastructure, de Koog is perfect for shopping. Beach not too crowded even in high season. Electricity directly on site, water points distributed around the campsite. Conclusion: recommended if you like sand :-)Automatically translated.
- Sebastian S.May 2018AdvantagesLocation and design of the square.NegativesVery spacious, but no problem with bicycles.Super placeWe will be back. We liked the place very much. Bicycles are a must, especially for the children to get to the playground. We were at the end of the campsite. Our toilet block was one of the older ones, but was always clean.Automatically translated.
- Sven S.March 2018AdvantagesBeautiful individual plots, close to the beachNegatives6 amps currentBeautiful campsite in the dunesWe were on the pitch at the start of the season. There wasn't much going on then and it was very quiet. The pitches are nice and individually divided. You're not right next to your neighbor's caravan or tent. However, you should pay attention to the size of the pitch if you have a larger caravan. A small disadvantage is that there is only 6 amps of electricity. But you can live with it if you know that. We will definitely be back!Automatically translated.
- Orhan S.August 2017Until 24:00 Loud music with drumsArrived on 25.08.2017 in the evening. We were allocated our pitch at reception. We were allowed to drive in by car to unload. When we arrived at the pitch we saw that there was another tent on our pitch. They couldn't help us on the phone, so we had to go to reception. Dirt was suggested to us some other... places. Finally everything was set up and it was almost 20:00. Suddenly loud music (you can only call it noise) with lots of drumming started. It is just before midnight and it goes on and drones in my head. The campsite is not recommendedAutomatically translated.
- Heidrun M.July 2017Advantages- Super beach - beautiful individual pitches - car-free - quiet and cleanNegativesI can't think of any real disadvantage!Relaxed vacationWe had a wonderful two-week vacation here. The campsite is car-free, you can only drive onto the site to set up and take down your tent. There is a large parking lot at the reception. As the "inner" barriers of the campsite only open on the days with the car cards, this rule works well. Because there... are no cars, only a very small part of the site is suitable for motorhomes. That's nice, because the rest of the site is reserved for tents and caravans and not these huge mobile homes. It's much more comfortable that way. The individual "plots" are individually designed, if you book in advance, you can choose whether you want electricity, wind protection or shade (although it is better to take sun protection with you), and you can also choose the size of the plot in advance. The ground is fairly level, sand on which straw has been heaped. Wooden pegs are highly recommended here. These can be bought at reception for 60 cents each. A rubber mallet is also recommended for hammering in the pegs. There are plenty of sanitary facilities available. We never had to wait for a shower or toilet. However, there were probably technical problems with the hot water in our toilet block, so we had to take a few cold showers. The sanitary buildings were not super modern or luxurious, but they were always clean. However, there was only soap in one of three basins. The campsite is very long, so it is advisable to bring a bike. There are tents near the reception where young people can be accommodated, it could get noisy there, but in the section where our tent was, it was wonderfully quiet. Charcoal barbecues are not allowed because of the fire hazard. The electric barbecue I brought with me overloaded the power supply. The beach at the campsite is beautiful and was not overcrowded even in July. There is a bike rental service at reception. You can buy souvenirs and cold drinks there, as well as ice cream, gas bottles and similar camper items. Bread rolls can also be pre-ordered. There is no small supermarket, but the village is within walking distance, where there are restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Unfortunately, the restaurant belonging to the campsite was hardly open during our vacation. The wifi could still be improved. It was very poor on some pitches (including ours), and it doesn't seem to be adequately secured. But since there are more important things on vacation than wifi, I don't really think that's a bad thing. The staff are very nice and helpful and speak good German. We would love to come back, it really was a great vacation.Automatically translated.
- Martin V.June 2017AdvantagesIn the middle of nature, pitches with a large distanceNegativesSanitary facilities could reach their limits in the high season. Too few pitches suitable for motorhomes.Great place - pure natureWe were there at the beginning of June - absolutely low season and therefore probably not representative. We were thrilled all round: the location, the pitches with large distances between them, in the middle of nature, great walks and bike rides and only a few minutes to the town of De Koog. The only drawback: there are only a few motorhome pitches....We would have liked to stay longer, but nothing was available.Automatically translated.
- Tim M.June 2017AdvantagesDog friendly Beautiful pitches Close to the beachNegativesLong distances on footPitch in the middle of the dunesVery nice pitches in the middle of the dunes with lots of open space and close to the beach. The staff are very friendly. Dogs are allowed on the southern half of the site, but not on the northern half. Dogs are allowed to run around freely on the adjacent beach. Unlimited showers are free! We would... love to come back! However, you should note that cars are only allowed on the pitch for assembly and dismantling. If you have a parking space further back, you have to walk about 1 km to the parking lot.Automatically translated.
