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.

    The park is located right on the IJsselmeer. Upon arrival, there is a central reception desk for check-in, and also a small grocery store in the building that accepts only card payments. There is a small snack bar with table service and a patio. However, the snack bar’s hours vary depending on the weather; it closes when it’s too hot. Next to it is a small playground for children. Scattered throughout the park are self-catering cottages of various sizes available for rent. They are all spaced quite far apart. The grounds are very quiet and well-maintained. The beach is about a 2-minute walk from every cottage. The beach itself is very natural but has a few places to sit. The beach has very fine sand and slopes very gently into the water over long stretches. Ideal for families with children. Dogs are also welcome and can be taken to the beach and into the water. We’d love to come back anytime.

    Der Park liegt direkt am Ijselmeer, bei der Ankunft gibt es eine zentrale Rezeption für die Anmeldung ebenfalls im Gebäude ein kleiner Lebensmittelshop nur mit Karte zu bezahlen. Eine kleine Snakbar mit Bedienung und Terrasse. Die Öffnungszeiten der Snakbar variieren jedoch nach Wetter, wenn zu heiss geschlossen. Daneben ein kleiner Spielplatz für Kinder. Im Park verteilt stehen unterschiedlich grosse Selbstversorgerhäuschen zum mieten. Alle sehr weitläufig verteilt. Anlage ist sehr ruhig und gepflegt. Zum Strand sind es von jedem Haus ca. 2 Gehminuten. Der Strand selbst ist sehr naturbelassen , jedoch mit ein paar Sitzgelegenheiten versehen. Der Strand ist sehr feinsandig und verläuft über weite strecken sehr flach ins Wasser. Ideal für Familie mit Kindern. Auch Hunde sind willkommen und können zum Strand und ins Wasser mitgenommen werden. Jederzeit gerne wieder.

    A top spot for windsurfers and kitesurfers. Very stylish and modern accommodations. Amazing view of the IJsselmeer. A cute beach where you can launch your kite right from the shore. Officially, you’re not allowed to ride from the park, but it’s tolerated if you launch your kite briefly and ride over to the kite zone to the right of the park. Simply awesome! Nearby, there’s a surf school with very friendly staff and a campground with a lovely playground where the other parent can hang out with the kids while the other is out on the water. For families with kids, there isn’t much in the park, but at least there’s an inflatable, a zip line, small playgrounds, and an indoor area with a climbing frame, foosball, and a PlayStation. We’ll definitely be back!

    Eine Top Adresse für Wind- und Kitesurfer. Sehr stylische und moderne Unterkunft. Mega Aussicht auf IJsselmeer. Süßer Strand, von dem man direkt den Kite starten kann. Offiziell darf man von dem Park nicht fahren, aber es wird geduldet, wenn man den Kite kurz startet und in die Kite Zone rechts vom Park rüberfährt. Einfach genial! In der Nähe gibt es eine Surfschule mit sehr nettem Personal und einen Campingplatz mit einem sehr schönen Spielplatz, wo der zweite Elternteil sich mit den Kindern aufhalten kann, während der andere auf dem Wasser ist. Für Familien mit Kindern gibt's nicht so viel im Park, aber immerhin ein Luftkissen, eine Seilrutsche, kleine Spielplätze und einen Indoor-Bereich mit Klettergerüst, Kicker und Playstation. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!
