Waterplezier beleef je volop in de zwemvijver op de camping, die voorbehouden is voor onze kampeerders. Vergeet dus niet je zwemspullen mee te brengen als je komt kamperen. Je kunt uiteraard zwemmen maar ook waterfietsen of roeien op de roeivijver. Of ga je liever languit op het strand liggen? Zoals gezegd zijn deze voorzieningen uitsluitend voor onze kampeerders op de camping bestemd. Vanaf het grote zonneterras van de taverne hou je de spelende kinderen ongemerkt in de gaten. Tijdens de zomermaanden houden ook redders van de camping een oogje in het zeil. Honden zijn helaas niet toegelaten op strand en in de zwemvijver! -Deze kunnen een verfrissende duik nemen in onze roeivijver
