At the Sheepfold, various sheep breeds live, and you can see how the sheep are kept and what types of wool they produce. Are you coming in spring? Then there is a good chance that lambs have been born. You and the children can pet and feed these adorable animals. Workshops are regularly organized as well, for example about spinning and felting wool. By appointment, it is possible to herd the sheep with a shepherd dog. This is a unique experience and very suitable for groups.

The museum is dedicated to the history of rural life in the 19th century and is named after the legendary bandits Ellert and Brammert, who, according to legend, lived in the vicinity of Schoonoord. View a reconstruction of the cave where Ellert and Brammert are said to have lived or visit old Drenthe farmhouses, a blacksmith's shop, a clog maker's workshop, and a bakery. There is also a peat-cutting area where you can see how peat was cut and processed into fuel. There are activities and demonstrations, such as traditional crafts being practiced, and in the summer months there are events organized, like demonstrations of vintage tractors and performances by traditional dance groups.

Summary created out of 137 reviews
De Zevenheuveltjes is a peaceful, small-scale family campsite nestled in the woods with excellent hygiene and friendly staff. Guests particularly appreciate the clean sanitary facilities, well-kept swimming pool, and spacious pitches, with many mentioning that everything is meticulously maintained. The location directly adjacent to the forest offers beautiful walking and cycling opportunities, and the new owners have further improved the park with convenient amenities such as an app for ordering fresh bread and regular food trucks. The campsite has a relaxed atmosphere and is particularly suitable for families with young children thanks to the playgrounds and swimming pool, though some note that the pool is small and can be on the cold side.

Wat een heerlijke camping, vriendelijke beheerders, super schone douches en toiletten. Het afwasgedeelte ook uitstekend en een wasje draaien en drogen kan ook perfect. We hebben meteen geboekt voor een seizoenplaats. Echt een aanrader voor jong en oud.

We had a fantastic stay at this campground. We had a lovely spot on a small field with a slide, sandbox, and two swings. This was perfect for my 3-year-old son. I was already familiar with the campground and deliberately chose not to get a spot next to the field with the large playground. That area was just too crowded for us.
I also have nothing but good things to say about the restrooms. They were cleaned thoroughly every day and were nice and modern. Given the size of the campground, there’s plenty of capacity, so you don’t have to wait half an hour in line to take a shower (at least that was our experience). The dishwashing areas were also clean.
The pool is small but nice. It was perfect for my little son. To be honest, I was surprised at how manageable it actually was, even with the crowds on very hot days.
Through the app, you can order bread rolls every day at the front desk for a very reasonable price. You can also get coffee at the front desk.
There’s more than enough to do in the area. You really won’t be bored for a single day here.
In short, highly recommended for families with kids!this is a translation, click here for the original
We hebben een fantastisch verblijf gehad op deze camping. We hadden een heerlijk plekje op een veldje met een glijbaan, zandbak en twee schommels. Dit was perfect voor mijn zoontje van 3. Ik was al bekend op de camping en heb bewust niet gekozen voor een plekje aan het veld met de grote speeltuin. Dit was wel erg druk voor ons.
Over het sanitair kan ik ook geen slecht woord zeggen. Het werd dagelijks keurig schoongemaakt en was mooi up to date. Voor het formaat van de camping is er voldoende capaciteit, dus je hoeft geen half uur in de rij te staan om te douchen (is onze ervaring in ieder geval). Ook de afwas plaatsen waren netjes.
Het zwembad is klein maar fijn. Voor mijn zoontje was het perfect. Het verbaasde mij eerlijk gezegd hoe goed het eigenlijk nog te doen was met de drukte op hele warme dagen.
Via de app kun je elke dag broodjes bestellen bij de receptie voor een zeer schappelijke prijs. Ook kun je koffie halen bij de receptie.
In de omgeving is meer dan voldoende te doen. Je hoeft je hier echt geen dag te vervelen.
Kortom, echt een aanrader met kids! -

Quiet neat fine campground. Spacious sites, new friendly owners who have control over their campground. I like being in a campground where by 11pm the owners control the campground for any noise pollution. It is quiet and I feel safe there. Playgrounds, 2 swimming pools, 1 of which is a paddling pool. A snack cart that is well attended a few hours a day. Beautiful surroundings. We were there with a generous camper, large campers can do well there. The sites you can pitch are spacious and you have your own spot, lots of privacy. Plumbing is clean, for me very important. Well I have not had a negative experience. You can order sandwiches for breakfast. To be honest I can say that this does come at a price, but you don't have to. Point of doubt? The campground has a lot of seniors. Fine for those looking for peace and quiet and conviviality. I really like coming back there, precisely for that peace and conviviality, but I also like a little more movement around me.

Rustige nette fijne camping. Ruime plekken, nieuw vriendelijke eigenaren die controle hebben over hun camping. Ik vind het fijn op een camping te staan waar tegen 23.00 uur de eigenaren de camping controleren op eventuele geluidsoverlast. Het is er rustig en ik voel me er veilig. Speeltuintjes, 2 zwembaden, waarvan 1 een pierebad. Een snack kar die goed bezocht een paar uren per dag open is.
Mooie omgeving. Wij waren er met een royale camper, grote campers kunnen er goed terecht. De plekken waar je kunt staan zijn ruim en je hebt je eigen plekje, veel privacy.
Sanitair is schoon, voor mij heel belangrijk.
Tja ik heb er geen negatieve ervaring beleefd. Je kunt er broodjes bestellen voor ontbijt. Eerlijkheidshalve kan ik zeggen dat dit wel aan de prijs is, maar je hoeft het niet te doen.
Twijfelpuntje? De camping heeft veel senioren. Prima voor degenen die de rust en gemoedelijkheid zoeken.
Ik kom er echt graag terug, juist om die rust en gemoedelijke sfeer, maar ik houd ook wel van iets meer beweging om me heen. -
