Camping pitches, bungalows and family play

Guests can pitch a tent or caravan on generous plots that carry plenty of planting for privacy, or choose a bungalow for a more sheltered stay. The camping ground also offers unusual dragon egg themed dwellings for a change from standard camping, and a four person holiday stay gives small families a ready made option. Play is a big part of daily life here, with a children focused area, playgrounds and an outdoor pool that includes a slide. Meals can be taken at the restaurant on the grounds, which keeps the rhythm of a camping holiday simple for parents.

Setting in the Veluwe forests

The camping ground lies in Hoenderloo on the Veluwe, a setting of dense woodland, open heath and sandy plains. Walking paths and cycling routes start close to the grounds, so the surrounding nature becomes part of each day. Swimming in the lake on the grounds works well on warmer days, and cultural and natural highlights of the region are within an easy drive for those who want to explore beyond the camping ground. The setting favours people who want space and fresh air rather than a busy city centre.
