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. Use the ferry "Droech oer de feart" to cross at De Grons, a waterway connecting the Oudegaaster Brekken, Workum vliet, Zandmeer, Grote Gaastmeer and Heegermeer. Cycle from Gaastmeer to Workum, or vice versa, to find the ferry. This route offers beautiful views and a unique experience of the Frisian waters. Bike rental is available 2 km away from this glamping in Friesland.

    What a great vacation park! Top location—it doesn’t get any better than this—with a private beach where you can walk kilometers out into the water. The park is very beautiful and quiet—even with kids and pets! I’ll definitely be back!
    The cottages are nicely furnished and modern. The layout is also great! The only things I’d like to point out: In the summer, the cottages heat up very quickly with the doors closed; air conditioning would be great. Also, upon arrival, there was still trash from the previous guests in the trash can, and the curtain rod high up on the ceiling was no longer secured in its mount. They could have checked that beforehand.
    On the great terrace, there was only one table with chairs and a parasol. There simply aren’t any lounge chairs or lounge furniture for relaxing—that’s a real shame.
    Unfortunately, the snack bar is rarely open; overall, the park could offer a bit more up front, but that’s just nitpicking! It’s worth making the trip to Hindeloopen—such a great place with fantastic restaurants, shopping options, fresh fish at the harbor, and just a wonderful atmosphere!
    I was there with my dog and child and would absolutely recommend it for both dogs and kids!

    Was ein toller Ferienpark! Top Lage, schöner geht es nicht, eigener Strand an dem man kilometerweit ins Wasser laufen kann. Der Park ist sehr schön und ruhig - trotz Kindern und Haustieren! Ich werde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen!
    Die Häuser sind schön ausgestattet und modern. Aufteilung ist ebenfalls top! Einzige Punkte die ich ankreiden möchte: Im Sommer heizen sich die Häuser bei geschlossenen Türen sehr schnell auf, eine Klimaanlage wäre schon toll. Zudem war bei Ankunft noch Müll von den Vormietern im Müll und die Gardinenstange weit oben an der Decke hing nicht mehr in der Verankerung. Das hätte man vorher schon beachten können.
    Auf der tollen Terasse war nur ein Tisch mit Stühlen und Sonnenschirm. Liegen oder Loungemöbel zum gemütlichen verweilen fehlen einfach, das ist sehr schade.
    Leider hat die Snackbar selten geöffnet, insgesamt könnte im Park vorne etwas mehr geboten werden, aber das ist Jammern auf höchstem Niveau! Es lohnt sich nach Hindeloopen zu fahren, solch ein toller Ort mit super Restaurants, Shopping Möglichkeiten, frischen Fisch am Hafen und einfach einem wundervollen Flair!
    Ich war mit Hund und Kind dort und würde es sowohl für Hunde als auch Kinder absolut empfehlen!

    A small, charming cottage. Well-equipped and very tidy. Even without air conditioning, it was comfortable even in the heat. Unfortunately, there were no fly screens on the windows. Otherwise, it’s in a beautiful location, and I’d gladly stay there again anytime.

    Kleines feines Häuschen. Gut ausgestattet und sehr ordentlich. Trotz fehlender Klima auch bei Hitze gut erträglich. Leider keine Fliegengitter vor den Fenstern. Sonst sehr schön gelegen und jederzeit gerne wieder.

    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.
