Among the animals
The Apenheul and Burgers' Zoo in Apeldoorn and Arnhem are great destinations for family outings. At the Apenheul, you walk among monkeys on the loose, a unique and educational experience for young and old. Burgers' Zoo offers a "safari" past different ecodomes, such as the Ocean, Desert and Mangrove. Both zoos have interactive programs and play areas for children. Whether you want to learn about biodiversity or just see animals in a near-natural habitat, both parks offer a day of adventure and discovery.


Paleis Het Loo
A trip to Paleis Het Loo is a fascinating experience for the whole family. The former royal palace in Apeldoorn offers a glimpse into the life of the Dutch monarchy. Explore the ornate gardens and admire the historic interiors and art collections. With special children's tours, interactive exhibits and a playground, there is something for every age to discover. It's a perfect blend of history, culture and fun.
Nearby cities
Arnhem and Nijmegen are two vibrant cities , each with a unique charm and rich history. Arnhem, known for the Battle of Arnhem during World War II, offers a mix of history and modern culture. Sonsbeek Park is a green oasis, ideal for relaxation. Within 20 minutes you are in the city. Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands, exudes a student-like, lively atmosphere. The Valkhofpark, with ruins from Roman times, is a must-see. You drive here in about 35 minutes. Both cities are situated on the river Waal, which provides additional opportunities for recreation and water sports. From trendy cafes to historic monuments, and from green parks to cultural festivals, Arnhem and Nijmegen offer a diverse urban experience.
National Park the Hoge Veluwe
National Park De Hoge Veluwe is one of the most versatile nature reserves in the Netherlands, and is less than 5 kilometers from this glamping in Gelderland. The park covers 5,400 hectares of diverse landscapes, including heathlands, sand drifts and wooded areas. Here you can enjoy hiking and biking tours; the white bikes you can use for free make this extra accessible. For art lovers, the Kröller-Müller Museum is a must-see. The museum offers an impressive collection of modern art and has one of the largest sculpture gardens in Europe. Animals such as deer, wild boar and mouflon can also be spotted. Whether you come for the art, nature or recreation, the Hoge Veluwe offers something for everyone.

TLDR: Never again at Europarcs. Be especially careful if you have health issues related to dust or allergies.
We reported in advance that a thorough cleaning was needed due to health issues. They agreed to it. They didn’t do it.
Upon arrival, we found this: a layer of dust on the range hood that you could leave a fingerprint in, dust … flakes and dead insects on the cabinets, hair and caked-on grime around the shower drain, grit and crumbs on the floor, and cobwebs everywhere with live and dead spiders in them. That night, I personally removed about fifteen spiders and cleared away the webs and dust nests. The front desk was already closed, so on the first night of our three-night stay, we spent our own time doing the most essential cleaning.
Layers of dust and webs with dead spiders like that don’t accumulate in just a few days. It seems that the only regular cleaning that takes place here is what’s expected of departing guests: leaving the cottage swept clean. As far as we could tell, the hot tub isn’t cleaned between stays either. This was also confirmed to me during our previous visit to Europarcs de Hooge Veluwe when I spoke with the cleaning crew.
The next day, five people came to clean it up after all. I appreciate that, but it also speaks volumes about the condition in which the cottage was handed over. And even after that, there was still a thick layer of dust on the lamps, dead insects were still on the ceiling, and the spiderweb I had pointed out myself was still hanging there.
EuroParcs has acknowledged in writing that the accommodation was not up to standard and that insufficient action was taken in response to our prior report. The compensation offered: dinner at their own restaurant and two rental bikes. When I explained that we couldn’t accept that for personal reasons and suggested settling the matter with a €90 refund, the response was that no financial compensation would be provided and that they consider the complaint resolved. No alternative was offered.
This was our second stay with EuroParcs and the second time the cottage wasn’t clean upon arrival.
The cottage and the surroundings are nice in and of themselves. But if you have asthma or an allergy, or if you simply expect a clean cottage that you’re paying for: don’t count on it here, even if you report it in advance. Also, don’t expect to be treated with respect if you file a complaint about it.
Take photos immediately upon arrival, and warn others or post a review if you find yourself in a similar situation. You may also, as I intend to do, file a complaint against Europarcs with the Recreation Disputes Committee.

TLDR: Nooit meer Europarcs. Pas vooral op als u gezondheidsklachten heeft mbt stof/allergie.
Vooraf gemeld dat grondige schoonmaak nodig was vanwege gezondheidsklachten. Toegezegd. Niet gedaan.
Bij aankomst troffen wij dit aan: een stoflaag op de afzuigkap waar je met je vinger een spoor doorheen trekt, stofvlokken en dode insecten op de kasten, haren en aangekoekt vuil rond de doucheafvoer, gruis en kruimels op de vloer, en overal spinnenwebben met levende en dode spinnen erin. Ik heb die nacht zelf ongeveer vijftien spinnen naar buiten gebracht en webben/stofnesten weg gehaald. De receptie was al dicht, dus de eerste avond van onze drie nachten hebben wij zelf tijd gestoken in de meest noodzakelijke schoonmaak.
Zulke stoflagen en webben met dode spinnen ontstaan niet in een paar dagen. Het lijkt erop dat de enige schoonmaak die hier structureel plaatsvindt, de schoonmaak is die van de vertrekkende gasten wordt verwacht: het huisje bezemschoon achterlaten. Ook de hottub wordt, voor zover wij hebben kunnen vaststellen, tussen twee verblijven door niet schoongemaakt. In ons eerdere bezoek aan Europarcs de Hooge Veluwe is dit mij ook bevestigd toen ik de schoonmaakploeg ondervroeg.
De volgende dag kwamen er vijf mensen om het alsnog te doen. Dat waardeer ik, maar het zegt ook genoeg over de staat waarin het huisje was opgeleverd. En zelfs daarna lag er nog een dikke laag stof op de lampen, zaten de dode insecten nog op het plafond en hing het spinnenweb dat ik zelf had aangewezen er nog steeds.
EuroParcs heeft schriftelijk erkend dat de accommodatie niet op orde was en dat er met onze melding vooraf onvoldoende is gedaan. De tegemoetkoming: een diner in het eigen restaurant en twee huurfietsen. Toen ik uitlegde dat wij daar om persoonlijke redenen niets mee kunnen en voorstelde om het af te handelen met € 90 terug, was het antwoord dat er geen financiële compensatie komt en dat zij de klacht als afgehandeld beschouwen. Een alternatief is niet aangeboden.
Dit was ons tweede verblijf bij EuroParcs en de tweede keer dat het huisje bij aankomst niet schoon was.
Het huisje en de omgeving zijn op zich mooi. Maar heb je astma of een allergie, of verwacht je gewoon een schoon huisje waar je voor betaalt: reken er hier niet op, ook niet als je het vooraf meldt. Verwacht vervolgens ook niet menselijk behandeld te worden als je er een klacht over hebt.
Maak bij aankomst meteen foto's, en waarschuw anderen/plaats een review mocht in een vergelijkbare situatie zitten. Ook kunt u eventueel, net als ik zal doen, een zaak starten bij de Geschillencommissie Recreatie tegen Europarcs.

Kamperen is nog steeds erg fijn op deze camping.

Het rijden door de slagboom zou nog fijner zijn met kentekenherkenning, helaas nu gebruik je een pasje. -
