Campsite at the Veluwe

Camping on the Veluwe: feel the adventure (but with comfy beds)

Looking for that perfect holiday spot where you can wake up to rustling trees, spot wildlife before breakfast, and yet sleep in a bed softer than your average marshmallow? Welcome to camping on the Veluwe! The Veluwe is one of the Netherlands’ most cherished nature areas, and with good reason. It’s a patchwork of forests, vast heathlands, sand dunes, and—yes—adorable sheep roaming around like they own the place. Whether you’re looking for pure relaxation, outdoor adventures, or just a serious dose of fresh air (without sacrificing your morning coffee), the Veluwe’s got you covered.

A natural paradise for every kind of camper

The Veluwe isn’t just for hardcore outdoor types with mysterious hiking boots. Thanks to the wide range of campings and glamping sites, everyone from the intrepid explorer to the ‘I-like-nature-but-I-also-love-wifi’ holidaymaker feels at home here.

From classic camping to luxury glamping

Want to pitch up your own tent under the century-old trees? Great! Prefer something a bit more “bougie” (no judgment here)? You’ll find glamping options galore—think fully equipped safari tents or lodges with all the comforts you crave. Spacious beds, your own bathroom, and even a kitchen for your gourmet camping meals (or instant noodles, we don’t judge). On most Veluwe campings, all you really need to bring is your sense of adventure—and maybe some snacks.

Adventure is waiting (just outside your door)

Staying on the Veluwe means you’re never far from your next adventure. Spend your days cycling endless bike paths, taking long forest walks, or looking for deer at sunrise. If you’re feeling artsy, stop by the Kröller-Müller Museum (home to Van Gogh masterpieces), or test your sandcastle skills at the Veluwe’s impressive sand drifts.

For the kids (or the young at heart), many campings offer playgrounds, pools, and energetic animation teams. So yes, you may finally get to read that book—or take a royal nap in the shade.

Enjoy the outdoors—without the “camping drama”

Let’s be honest: camping is amazing, but no one misses wrestling with tent poles in the rain or discovering that you forgot your air mattress pump. On the Veluwe, you can go full-on outdoorsy with all the comforts you secretly dream about. Fancy a hot shower after a day in the woods? Check. Real beds? Absolutely. And with restaurants and snack bars on site, you can skip burning your marshmallows to a crisp.

Discover the charm of the Veluwe

Camping on the Veluwe means waking up among birdsong, having breakfast surrounded by trees, and getting that true “away from it all” feeling—while still having the option to grab an ice cream whenever you want. Whether you’re coming for the space, the fresh air, or just to try and spot a wild boar (don’t worry, they’re more scared of you than you are of them), this unique part of nature has everything for an unforgettable holiday.

So, pack your bags, don’t forget your camera, and let the Veluwe surprise you. Your next great camping adventure is waiting—and trust us, it’s more comfortable than ever!
