Strolling through the market
Combine a visit to one of the surrounding villages and towns with a visit to the market. On different days markets are organized where you can buy local products such as fresh fruit and vegetables, but also to score the nicest souvenirs you are at the right place at a market. For example, there are lively markets in Borken, Bocholt, Winterswijk and Essen. Plenty of choice!
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. With more than 50 attractions and shows spread over 5 themed areas, you'll enjoy a day of adventure and magic here.
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. For example, the Planetary Route starts right from Camping Borken am See. While following the "planet trail" you will answer questions such as "How big is the sun?" or "How many planets are there?". 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!

This campground is large enough to have a really nice pool and small enough to ensure that everything is close by. The entertainment team is great (there’s an activity for kids three times a day). You can order pastries and pick them up between 8:00 and 10:00 at the kiosk by the pool. The campsites are very spacious. The private restrooms are fine, though a bit small (this may be because we were one of the few with a slightly older restroom cabin). The guests here are quiet and friendly. Cars aren’t allowed next to the tents but must be parked in the parking lot, which makes the campground ideal for a vacation with younger children.

Deze camping is groot genoeg om een heel fijn zwembad te hebben en klein genoeg om er voor te zorgen dat alles dichtbij is. Het animatieteam is prima (drie keer per dag een activiteit voor kinderen). Je kan broodjes bestellen dit je tussen 8:00 en 10:00 bij de kiosk bij het zwembad op kan halen. De kampeerplekken zijn zeer groot. Het privé sanitair is prima, alleen wel klein (dit kan komen doordat wij als 1 van de weinigen een wat ouder sanitair huisje hadden). Het publiek dat hier komt is rustig en sociaal. De auto mag niet naast de tent, maar moet op het parkeerterrein wat de camping ideaal maakt voor een vakantie met wat jongere kinderen.

We had a fantastic week at the Borken am See campground! Highly recommended for anyone with young children. Beautiful accommodations, including very luxurious glamping tents, stationary RVs, and RV and trailer sites. They’re very nicely spread out across the campground. The staff is super friendly and helpful. There’s a great entertainment team for the kids who organize fun activities and make sure the kids have an unforgettable vacation! The campground is centrally located and close to several parks, which is a huge plus if you want to get out and explore. In short, this is a campground we’ll be returning to time and time again, and we highly recommend it to anyone with children up to 12 or 13 years old!

We hebben een fantastische week beleefd op camping Borken am See! Een aanrader voor iedereen met jonge kinderen. Prachtige accomomedaties zoals hele luxe glamping tenten, sta-caravans, camper en caravan plaatsen. Heel mooi verdeeld over de camping. Super vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Een geweldig animatie team voor de kinderen die leuke activiteiten organiseren en de kids een onvergeetbare vakantie bezorgen! De camping ligt centraal en dicht bij verschillende parken wat ook een heel groot plus punt is als je een keertje eropuit wilt. Kortom dit is een camping waar wij nog heel vaak terug gaan komen en is een aanrader voor iedereen met kinderen tot 12 a 13 jaar!

Great campsite. Amazing facilities for small children - especially the pool, numerous playparks and animation. Site was well cared for and tidy. The swimming lake was great fun. Great location for cycling. On-site restaurant had mixed reviews from our group of 10, some loved it and some not so much. Campsite staff were friendly. We hired accommodation which was clean but during heatwaves, air-conditioning is a must!!! Ours did not have it and even with five fans, it was hotter inside than outside!. A small shop on site with toiletries and essentials would be great.
The pool is relatively small for the size of the campsite and can be busy. -

A medium sized campsite with very good children entertainment.
No cars are allowed on site at any time.
Bread rolls are available on site - preorder the night before
Nice swimming pool, heated but only just!
Nice paddle boarding/kayaking lake.
Restaurant is expensive and only ok - would not recommend.
We had a comfort pitch, which was nice and big opposite the children's entertainment. The light didn't work in the private shower, repaired promptly. The shower only had cold water - this was not rectified.
The washing machines on site were broken - solution found promptly.
No shop on site.

This is our third year in a row visiting this campground—usually on the spur of the moment, 2–3 times in a row during summer vacation. Children with autism can have a wonderful vacation here, which is why we prefer several short stays at the campground—which are absolutely hassle-free thanks to the staff: just call 1–2 hours ahead, check availability, and head out! The mobile homes are very, very well cleaned. The staff is consistently top-notch; they handle children with disabilities with calmness and understanding.
We’ve always been more than satisfied and will definitely be coming back for several more years.this is a translation, click here for the original
Wir reisen jetzt das dritte Jahr in Folge auf diesen Campingplatz, meistens sehr spontan, 2-3 Mal hintereinander in den Sommerferien. Kinder mit Autismus können hier einen wundervollen Urlaub verbringen. Die Mobilheime sehr sehr gut gereinigt. Das Team ist durchweg Top, auf Kinder mit Beeinträchtigungen wird mit Gelassenheit und Verständnis eingegangen.
Wir sind immer mehr als zufrieden gewesen und kommen bestimmt noch einige Jahre wieder.
