The IJsselmeer, the largest freshwater lake in the Netherlands, is a paradise for lovers of water sports and natural beauty. Sailors can enjoy the vast open space, while windsurfers take advantage of the excellent wind conditions. For those who prefer quieter water activities, the IJsselmeer offers plenty of opportunities for canoeing and fishing.

Explore Friesland

The glamping is a perfect starting point for exploring Southwest Fryslân, a region where seven of the famous Frisian Eleven Cities are located: Workum, Hindeloopen, Stavoren, IJlst, Sloten, Sneek and Bolsward. These towns are rich in history that is remarkably well preserved. Visitors can immerse themselves in ancient Frisian culture, enjoying the historic architecture and local stories and legends that make each town unique. Whether strolling the ancient streets, admiring centuries-old buildings, or exploring local museums and galleries, each city offers a unique glimpse into Friesland's rich past.

On a trip to Leeuwarden

Leeuwarden, the bustling capital of Friesland, offers a rich mix of culture and history. At the Fries Museum, you can delve into Frisian art, culture and history. The Wilhelminaplein, also known as the Zaailand, is the beating heart of the city with countless events and activities. Explore the historic city center with its unique stores and cozy cafes, or take a relaxing boat ride along the canals. Leeuwarden is a city where history meets modernity.

Cycling through the area

Explore the nature around Hindeloopen with a bicycle tour. Start from Nijhuizum and follow the Gronspaed to Gaastmeer.

Summary created out of 200 reviews

EuroParcs Hindeloopen is located on the IJsselmeer and offers modern, stylishly furnished accommodations with stunning water views. Guests appreciate the tranquility, direct access to private beaches, and the friendly reception staff. The location is perfect for water sports enthusiasts and families wanting to enjoy nature and the nearby picturesque village of Hindeloopen. However, the park struggles with a significant spider and mosquito problem due to the absence of window screens, making ventilation difficult and causing houses to heat up quickly without climate control. Additionally, cleanliness upon arrival is inconsistent, laundry facilities are missing, and the restaurant and shop have limited opening hours with a modest selection.

    ​WARNING: HYGIENE DISASTER AND ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!

    ​What can I say? It’s just disgusting and revolting. The location is really good, but the accommodation itself is a veritable breeding ground for bacteria.

    ​• UNACCEPTABLE HYGIENE: The room was dirty. The toilet seat and the general state of hygiene are an absolute disaster. We … had to clean and disinfect every single doorknob ourselves before we could even touch it!

    • DIRTY BEDS: The pillows stink terribly and apparently are never washed. The sheets in the plastic wrap are hygienically packaged, but they’re still dirty. Even the blue fitted sheets on the beds looked like they’d never seen a washing machine.

    • FLY INFESTATION & STUFFY HEAT: Endless flies, but no fly screens whatsoever. Since there’s no air conditioning, we had to keep all the windows closed because of the insects. It got unbearably hot and stuffy.

    • ZERO SERVICE: There wasn’t even hand soap in the bathroom and exactly ONE roll of toilet paper for the entire stay. An absolute disgrace!

    ​CONCLUSION: The area around Hindeloopen is really great, but you absolutely must find another place to stay! This EuroParcs is an absolute disgrace, a total rip-off, and definitely not worth the money. Book somewhere else!

    ​WARNUNG: HYGIENE-KATASTROPHE UND ABSOLUTE ZUMUTUNG!

    ​Was soll ich sagen? Es ist einfach nur abartig und ekelerregend. Die Lage ist zwar wirklich gut, aber die Unterkunft selbst ist ein reiner Bakterienherd.

    ​• UNZUMUTBARE HYGIENE: Das Zimmer war dreckig. Die Klobrille und der allgemeine Hygienezustand sind eine absolute Katastrophe. Wir mussten jeden einzelnen Türgriff selbst reinigen und desinfizieren, bevor wir ihn anfassen konnten!

    • DRECKIGE BETTEN: Die Kissen stinken extrem und werden scheinbar nie gewaschen. Die Laken in der Folie sind zwar hygienisch verpackt, aber trotzdem dreckig. Auch die blauen Unterlaken auf den Betten sahen aus, als hätten sie noch nie eine Waschmaschine gesehen.

    • FLIEGENPLAGE & HITZESTAU: Fliegen ohne Ende, aber Fliegengitter sind komplette Fehlanzeige. Da es keine Klimaanlage gibt, mussten wir wegen der Insekten alle Fenster geschlossen halten. Es wurde unerträglich heiß und stickig.

    • NULL SERVICE: Es gab nicht einmal Handseife im Bad und exakt EINE Rolle Toilettenpapier für den Aufenthalt. Eine absolute Frechheit!

    ​FAZIT: Die Gegend um Hindeloopen ist echt toll, aber sucht euch zwingend eine andere Unterkunft! Dieser EuroParcs ist eine absolute Zumutung, reine Abzocke und das Geld definitiv nicht wert. Bucht woanders!

    Completely overpriced and poor hygiene. Not recommended.
    We arrived on Monday and were extremely disappointed. The value for money here is completely off. The rooms were full of mosquitoes, and our kids were covered in bites. Especially gross: the walls were still smeared with the blood of mosquitoes swatted by the previous owners. On top of … that, there were absolutely no toiletries in the house.
    Another problem was the dining options: There was no food because the restaurant had absolutely no staff. The only employee still on site was very nice, but understandably couldn’t make up for the shortage on his own. For this high price, the stay is an absolute rip-off. We definitely won’t be coming back.

    Völlig überteuert und mangelhafte Hygiene. Nicht zu empfehlen.
    Wir sind am Montag angereist und wurden maßlos enttäuscht. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt hier hinten und vorne nicht. Die Zimmer waren voller Mücken und unsere Kinder wurden völlig zerstochen. Besonders eklig: An den Wänden klebte noch das Blut von erschlagenen Mücken der Vorbesitzer. Zudem gab es keinerlei Hygieneartikel im Haus.
    Ein weiteres Problem war die Gastronomie: Es gab kein Essen, da das Restaurant absolut kein Personal hatte. Einzig der verbliebene Mitarbeiter vor Ort war sehr nett, konnte den Mangel aber verständlicherweise nicht allein ausgleichen. Für diesen hohen Preis ist der Aufenthalt eine absolute Frechheit. Wir kommen definitiv nicht wieder.

    This was our second vacation in Hindeloopen, and we'll definitely be going back. The location is fantastic—right by the sea with a beach. Great houses with everything you need. The staff gets 11 out of 10 stars, plus a badge of honor. They did everything they possibly could. What a great team.

    Wir waren zum zweiten Mal im Urlaub in Hindeloopen und werden wieder hinfahren. Die Lage ist Top , direkt am Meer mit Strand. Tolle Häuser mit allem was nötig ist. Personal bekommt 11 von 10 Sternen plus Fleisabzeichen. Alles was möglich zu machen war wurde gemacht. Tolles Team.
