Beautiful Giethoorn

Giethoorn, often called the 'Venice of the North', is famous for its picturesque waterways, thatched-roof farmhouses, and rustic bridges. Visitors can rent traditional 'punter' boats or join canal cruises to explore the village from the water. The car-free paths invite you to enjoy leisurely walks. Local restaurants offer delicious regional dishes, and in the various museums you can dive into the rich history of this unique waterside village—all just half an hour away from the glamping.

Dive into nature

Dwingelderveld National Park, less than 5 km from EuroParcs Ruinen, is the largest wet heathland in Europe and a true paradise for nature lovers. This unique landscape is home to a rich variety of special flora and fauna. During a walk or bike ride, you might come face to face with a flock of sheep—a magical sight, especially during lambing season. The park offers plenty of challenging mountain bike trails and picturesque walking routes. Along the way, you can spot the rare plant species and birds that call this area home. What makes Dwingelderveld so special is its harmonious blend of nature, cultural history, and tranquility. A visit is an unforgettable experience, allowing you to leave behind the hustle and bustle of daily life.

A day in history

The dolmens at Havelte and Diever, both just over a fifteen-minute drive away, are impressive prehistoric burial monuments built by the people of the Funnel Beaker culture. These ancient stones bear witness to a rich history and mysterious traditions. Visiting these monuments is like a journey back in time, where you can marvel at the skills and rituals of our ancestors. Surrounded by picturesque nature and tranquility, the dolmens are not only historic but also a visual treat. Exploring these areas offers a unique combination of nature, history, and culture. For both families and history enthusiasts, it is a fascinating and educational outing that provides deeper insight into early life in the Netherlands.

    Ein schöner Campingplatz. Ringsum ist Wald mit extra Runde für die Hunde. Hallenbad und Freibad sind Sauber. Wir hatten einen Platz mit Privatbad. Ich fand es etwas Wackelig aber ok. Toilette und Dusche sauber und Funktionstüchtig. Einzig das Waschbecken war etwas hoch . Meine Kids sind schon größer und hatten keine Probleme. Leider war kein Waschbecken aussen am Häuschen wie es beworben wird auf der Seite. Ab Oktober 2025 soll auch die Amperezahl von 6 auf 15 erhöht werden. Wäre quasi mein einziges Manko am ende... Für alle die noch mit Blechdach unterwegs sind ein Hinweis, nicht zu dicht an den Bäumen parken 😅 es gibt viele Eichen und das knallt ordentlich aufm Dach. In Ruinen gibt's ein Plus, ähnlich wie ein großer Edeka. Hier gibt's alles was man braucht an Lebensmitteln. Wem was kaputt geht der sollte nach Hogeveen fahren zu Reinders oder so ähnlich. Großer Händler mit Shop. Hat alles was man so brauchen kann und könnte 😅

    6 nachten verbleven op de camping. Prachtige omgeving en een mooie camping. Schoon sanitair. Heel fijn dat je gratis gebruik mag maken van het buitenbad. Leuke wandelroute om de camping met de hond. Bij binnenkomst werd ook onze hond verrast met een zakje lekkers en speelgoed. Ik heb 1 minpuntje en dat is de 6 ampère stroom. Ik begreep later wel dat je bij kunt kopen.

    Im August 2025 waren wir da( zwei Familien). Es war an sich ein guter Urlaub, allerdings hätte ich ein paar Anmerkungen. Positiv: moderne Einrichtung (Cube 6),ruhig gelegen, Küche gut ausgestattet, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten zum Beispiel der Laden Plus, war gut zu erreichen. Vorschlag zur Verbesserung: Moskitonetze an Fenster und Terrassetür anbringen, durch die Lage im Wald, waren sehr viele im Zimmer. Die Klimaanlage hat nicht funktioniert und beim Staubsauger fehlte das richtige Rohr. Es wäre vielleicht ganz praktisch einen Wischer zu haben zumindest für die Badezimmer. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich vorallem zu Kindern. Die Schwimmbäder waren gut.

    Mooie omgeving en ligging van het park. Er waren veel activiteiten voor de kinderen. Het animatieteam was zelf nog zeer jong, maar ze hebben dat goed gedaan! De huisjes waren gezellig, proper en klein. Toch wel aan te raden om een iets groter huisje te boeken. Wij zaten met drie in een tiny house voor 4 personen en dat was juist te doen qua ruimte. Het binnenzwembad was heel leuk. Het water was goed van temperatuur. De vloer in de kleedhokjes mag nog iets properder zijn. Maar het zwembad wordt wel elke dag gekuist. Naast het park is er een buitenzwembad. Als gast van het park kan je gratis tickets verkrijgen aan de receptie voor het buitenzwembad. Het restaurant in het park sluit om 20 uur 's avonds. Dat is wel jammer. Na 20 uur is er dus op het park niet veel meer te doen. Leuk zou zijn als er voor volwassenen en oudere kinderen toch nog iets georganiseerd zou worden (zoals bijvoorbeeld een bingo, quiz, show,...) Toch wel genoten van een leuke vakantie!!
