    We had a wonderful weekend in the safari tent! Beautiful campground; everything was neat and clean. The restroom facilities were beautiful, and there was a cozy pavilion where we enjoyed a delicious meal. The owners were very friendly and truly prioritize hospitality! In short, we’ll definitely be back!

    A wonderful welcome. We stayed here after coming from an empty campground. Cozy. Nice showers and restrooms, a washing machine and dryer, and even a spin cycle. Beautiful green grass. Fun play equipment for our grandkids, and a lovely pond with big carp.
    All in all, a campground we’ll definitely visit again—and maybe even for a whole season!

    A beautiful, green, peaceful campground with clean restroom facilities. The surroundings are gorgeous. We found the campsites a bit small, and in our opinion, there were too many long-term guests. At least a third of the campers have a permanent spot. That does create a certain atmosphere. If that doesn’t bother you, this campground is definitely worth a visit. For that reason, however, we won’t be returning to this campground anytime soon.

    Mooie groene, rustige camping met schoon sanitair. Omgeving is prachtig. Plaatsen op de camping vonden wij wat klein en in onze ogen waren er teveel vaste verblijfsgasten. Minstens een derde van de campinggasten heeft een vaste plek. Dat geeft wel een bepaalde sfeer. Als je dat niet erg vindt, is deze camping zeker de moeite waard. Wijzelf zullen om die reden deze camping niet zo snel meer bezoeken.

    Camping Hunze Bulten is a beautiful, green campground located near Annen in Drenthe. The new owners have invested heavily and are very friendly and hospitable. The restrooms are beautiful and clean, and there’s a cozy restaurant with a terrace overlooking the campground’s own swimming pond. In addition to spacious campsites, you can also rent … safari tents or a log cabin. There’s a separate play area with new, sturdy playground equipment for young children.
    The new owners still have plenty of plans to make this already lovely campground an even better place for a relaxing vacation for young and old alike. Camping Hunze Bulten comes highly recommended!
    Note: The surrounding area features charming villages, plenty of forests, the Drenthe countryside, and—just a stone’s throw away—the Caribbean-blue waters of the Nije Hemelriek.

    Camping Hunze Bulten is een prachtige groene camping, gelegen vlakbij het Drenthse Annen. De nieuwe eigenaren hebben veel geinvesteerd en zijn erg aardig en gastvrij. Mooi en schoon sanitair, een gezellig restaurant met terras aan de eigen zwemvijver, je kunt naast grote kampeerplekken ook safari-tenten of een blokhut huren. Er is een apart veld met nieuwe robuuste speeltoestellen voor jonge kinderen.
    De nieuwe eigenaren hebben nog volop plannen om deze al heel mooie camping een nog fijnere plek te maken voor een ontspannen vakantie voor jong en oud. Camping Hunze Bulten is een aanrader!
    Nb in de omgeving zijn leuke dorpjes, veel bossen, Drenths landschap, op een steenworp ook caribisch blauw water van het Nije Hemelriek.

    We were traveling in a camper, and the sites were spacious and nicely laid out—a very large circle that made the area feel really open. Everything was well-maintained and clean. Friendly owners. Fantastic bike routes in beautiful surroundings—I highly recommend it!
