An outing with the kids

Take the kids to Ketteler Hof - Haltern am See, where you can climb, slide, jump, swing and more! This fun play park is a 35-minute drive away. Another fun place to go is Ponyhof Leiting, 20 minutes away. Let the kids take a ride on one of the ponies or head toward the large playground, while parents find a spot on the terrace. Looking for an activity when the weather is bad? Indoor Aquaris pool is a 10-minute drive away. Slide down the dark slide, jump off the diving board and swim in the indoor or outdoor pool. There is also a white-water course, so water rats will have the time of their lives here.


Dive into the movie world

A 35-minute drive from the glamping is Movie Park Germany. A great outing for the whole family! Come face to face with your favorite character from the film and TV world like Spongebob and The Ninja Turtles, and step into exciting attractions for young and old.

Learn more about the planets

Make a hike or bike ride extra fun by following one of the routes created in cooperation with Nature Park Hohe Mark Westmünsterland and the Westphalian Heimatbund.

A fun and educational outing in nature! The route is 6 kilometers in total. So walking or biking, you can do both! If you want to follow a different route, there is also the Flamingo Bike Route, which takes you along fascinating places and landscapes. And who knows, you might even spot real flamingos!

    A great campground that we visited with our own RV.
    There were private bathrooms and toilets for every site, and they were of truly excellent quality.
    The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our stay.
    The campground had everything we needed: a pool, a lake/beach, a bar, and a restaurant.

    The area around Pröbsting Lake is beautifully situated. That makes taking a walk there truly worthwhile.
    The food and drink options are excellent, and the staff is always friendly, courteous, and helpful!
    The only—albeit significant—drawback is that the restroom facilities near the sunbathing area are really, really dirty and run-down. Unfortunately, this doesn’t encourage visitors to stay in the area for very long. This issue needs to be addressed urgently.

    Das Gelände am Pröbsting-See, ist sehr schön gelegen. Somit ist das Spazieren gehen dort wirklich lohnenswert.
    Das gastronomische Angebot ist sehr gut, das Personal ist stets freundlich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit!
    Das einzige, allerdings erhebliches Manko ist, das die WC-Anlagen an der Liegewiese,wirklich sehr,sehr dreckig und heruntergekommen sind. Das lädt leider nicht dazu ein, länger auf dem Gebiet zu verweilen. Daran müsste dringend gearbeitet werden.

    A lovely campground. Ideal for families with children. The pool is very nice and has a separate toddler pool. Lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a snack bar are available. There are also several playgrounds and a bouncy castle. Next to the campground, there’s a tree-top adventure course and a good restaurant, and the lake is also very beautiful. We were there with our
    RV. Our campsite had its own bathroom facility with a shower, sink, and toilet. We really enjoyed our stay.

    We ended up at this campground by chance with our little camper for one last night before heading home for good. It’s an incredible little gem. There are lots of beautiful and varied permanent cabins and about 40 to 50 sites for tents, campers, or RVs. Most have their own bathroom facilities and a small kitchenette. There’s a lovely swimming pool right by the lake with a sandy beach. Dogs are welcome too—though not in the water—but they’re allowed near the water. There’s also a very nice, good restaurant right next to the campground. The campground is very kid-friendly, with several play areas—both large and small—and a mini-golf course. We stayed an extra night to explore the area a bit. Within a 20-km radius, there are several beautiful and charming villages and a wide variety of shops for those who enjoy shopping. The staff is extremely friendly, and the campground is managed by Dutch owners, so you’ll feel right at home even if you don’t speak the language very well. After the high season, we’ll definitely be back for a longer stay. Highly recommended.

    Met eigen campertje bij toeval op deze camping terecht gekomen voor een laatste nachtje voor de definitieve thuisreis. Ongelofelijk wat een pareltje. Heel veel mooie en diverse vaste huisjes en ongeveer 40 a 50 sta plaatsen voor tent, camper of caravan. De meeste met eigen sanitair en soort keukenblokje. Heerlijk zwembad en direct bij het meer met zandstrand. Ook de hond is welkom maar niet in het water maar mag wel bij het water. Daarnaast een heel leuk en goed restaurantje ook direct bij de camping. Camping is erg kindvriendelijk met diverse grotere en kleine speel plaatsjes en een mini golf. Wij zijn nog een extra nachtje gebleven om de omgeving een beetje te verkennen. Binnen een straal van 20 km meerdere mooie en gezellige dorpjes en een grote diversiteit aan winkels voor de liefhebbers. Uitermate vriendelijk personeel en Nederlandse beheerders zodat je er ook met gemak terecht kunt als je de taal niet echt machtig bent. Na het hoogseizoen komen we zeker nog een keer terug voor een wat langere periode. Een aanrader dus.
