svimes Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I'm looking at booking a Dutch site and this (Borg GinsterveldCards) popped up on the booking - 20 Euros. It's not the tourist tax as that is listed elsewhere. I assume it's something to do with the local area. Does it give access to things, does it pay for a local conservation measure? The only thing I could find via Google suggested that it might be refundable. Anyone know more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Plodd Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) A quick Google brought up the below Looks like the option to book a chalet to me! On second viewing that’s clearly NOT the case, tried Google translate to no avail, sorry Retour means return in French I think Edited August 7, 2019 by Mr Plodd Quote Experience is something you acquire after you have an urgent need for it.

Maybe for use of the facilities? (Think I forgot to mention that idea on the OP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borussia 1900 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Not been to that specific Ardoer site but I have been to Burgh-Haamstead many times, nice village. Borg = Deposit. It's probably for the entrance barrier and you'll get your 20€ back when you hand it in. You can go cycling with your kids along the cycle ways in the sand dunes between Burgh-Haamstead and Renesse, very nice.

Borussia 1900 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 We stay quite nearby in Ellemeet, beautiful site and cheaper than Ardoer but it doesn't have a pool. https://www.hoevebatenburg.nl/de/ Quote 2015 3. 2 Auto Mitsubishi Pajero tugging a 2016 Tabbert Pucinni 2. 5e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a barrier card and maybe for the amenities block too if it's in an area where cheeky day trippers might get in. We really fancy an indoor pool as the kids love it and it's a nice way to end the holiday. My bike has just been serviced and Lady V has her brand new wheels so we are definitely taking them. 50 minutes ago, Borussia 1900 said: We stay quite nearby in Ellemeet, beautiful site and cheaper than Ardoer but it doesn't have a pool. https://www.hoevebatenburg.nl/de/ Forgot to say, our overnight stop may well end up being on your drive!

I found it a bit tight on some of the pitches and on a drive through pitch, could drive in, but not out at the other end so had to use the mover and block the exit route for a while. Usually a lot of leavers every morning and there is always an impatient Dutch person wanting to leave in a hurry. We have a saying "never get in the way of an impatient dutch caravanner". Thanks Borussia for your information on Zeeland. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t speak hardly any French and never know how to pronounce Beaune, I usually just pronounce it as the English word Bone. A fair chance I’m saying it incorrectly though.

GEOFF That's pretty much what we opt for. Everyone knows that French with a Yorkshire filter is French at it's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
