Camping Merendella

Campsites in the first row are incredibly spacious and offer a fantastic view of the sea. However, that’s where the positives end. In the evenings, there is massive disturbance due to loud animation for a handful of guests (probably from mobile homes, not campers). The sanitary facilities are of the lowest category, there is no shop for essential daily needs, emptying the chemical toilet is possible, but rinsing afterward is only available for a fee (it looks quite disgusting there); unfortunately, the entire facility is deteriorating, even though it could be so lovely if the operators would put in some effort.

Absolutely not recommended for families and those seeking peace. Despite the established quiet hours starting at 11 PM, we repeatedly experienced significant disturbances caused by groups of youths – sometimes until 3 or 4 AM. Particularly disappointing was the disregard for our repeated requests for quiet and intervention. There was no lasting improvement. For us, a relaxing family vacation looks very different.

Campsites by the beach are very nice. A private cable (not the normal camping one) is required for the refrigerator. Reception closes at 6 PM, after that no arrivals are possible. Showers are too hot, cannot be adjusted. Sanitary facilities are outdated. Often no soap. Overall, a nice place due to the landscaping. The cleaning staff is rarely seen. Many offers for children. Toilet disposal for campers is disgusting, smelly, no flushing possible and no hose available. The aftermath of the previous user floats in the basin. In 40 years of camping, I’ve never seen anything like this. Obviously, it’s also not cleaned by the staff. No minimarket. The bar (drink €10, small glass, ice cream €2.50 small scoop) I found too expensive. In the restaurant, you can only eat by reservation even when everything is empty.

Location great, supermarket accessible by bike or on foot, right by the beach, loungers and umbrellas free of charge, baguette and croissants in the morning at the square (affordable). Language French, English not preferred/heard/spoken. Pool ok, small pool for little ones is great. Sanitary facilities at the entrance were only really cleaned once a week. With so many people, that's not enough. Everyone is encouraged to contribute, but not to clean. Adults wipe clean with a moist cloth. Kids can't be left alone. And we are used to vacations in the south.

The spots in the front row are amazing!! Directly at the kilometer-long white sandy beach. With morning sunrise 🌅. Sensational!! Each pitch has its own pavilion and refrigerator.

The spot right by the sea is super nice. However, the campsite has neglected the Pentecost holidays. The slides only open in the second week. The Kids Camp is unfortunately not open. Work is being done at the Beach Bar and the sanitary facilities are insufficient. But what can you expect? It is a natural campsite after all. Worth mentioning is the seating area at the pitch and the refrigerator. Negative is the emptying station. There is only a disgusting, dirty place here. All in all, it is still nice.

We booked Merendella primarily because of the offerings for children. The pitch was XL and really nice, but the rest was unfortunately less so. The trampolines could only be used by children weighing at least 25 kg, the children's animation was fully booked long before our arrival, the slides were only open for four hours a day and were closed completely after a few days due to damage. The water trampoline castle wasn't set up at all. Additionally, it was very loud in the evenings due to various music events, sometimes there was sound coming from two sides until midnight. The five toilets available for the lower area were mostly occupied, dirty, and despite daily complaints, there was no toilet paper. In response to our general complaint, we were told to submit our concern via email. We only received a response after we were back home. Everything was brushed off, and we were told that a pizza voucher would have been offered to us if we had been still on site. Our conclusion: Not recommended!

Great location right by the sea with wooden flooring on the sand for wheelchairs. Accessible toilet is good, but the shower unfortunately has no adjustable water temperature. Dishwater is usually only cold. Children and youth animation is highly emphasized. The techno music - if one can call the thundering bass noise that - is unbearably loud at the expensive spots near the beach and lasts for several hours! This place is not suitable for seniors during the high season. The staff in the restaurant is very accommodating and service-oriented, just like the gentlemen who ensure order in the area. The people at the reception and the head of service still need to learn. "C'est le ton qui fait la musique" - deliberately written in French, as despite the many German-speaking guests, the receptionist cannot (or will not?) speak or understand German.
