National Parks nearby

National Park de Veluwezoom and National Park de Hoge Veluwe are gems of natural beauty near this glamping site in Gelderland. Known for its rolling moorlands, expansive forests and varied wildlife, the Veluwezoom provides a picturesque backdrop for hikers and cyclists. It is a haven where visitors can escape the daily hustle and bustle and experience the serenity of nature. On the other hand, the Hoge Veluwe is a majestic landscape of moors, sand drifts and forests. It houses the famous Kröller-Müller Museum, with the second-largest Van Gogh collection in the world.

Both cities exude an atmospheric, almost magical ambiance, where the echo of the rich Hanseatic past can still be felt.

Summary created out of 62 reviews

The park is appreciated for its quiet location in nature and the friendly staff at reception. Guests praise the restaurant for its good food and available bread service. The location offers a beautiful environment with marina and outdoor pool, ideal for walking and exploring nature. Points of attention are the cleanliness of accommodations and sanitary facilities, with regular comments about dirty toilet brushes, stains and dust. Climate control is also missed, especially during hot days when temperatures in cottages rise significantly without air conditioning or sufficient ventilation.

    Definitely do not book here if you want to camp in a tent. The campsites that EuroParcs shows on its website are no longer in use. Instead, you’ll be placed on a gravel lot littered with large, loose rocks, debris, and sharp shells. My new tent was damaged as a result. EuroParcs refuses to compensate me for the damage; this matter is now being handled by my travel insurance.
    The spots that are still on grass are also all uneven and on a slope.
    The park’s layout is illogical and extremely dangerous. Unlike other parks, this site is not fenced off.
    The campground borders directly on a public dike where cyclists and e-bikers race by at high speeds.
    To even get to the restroom and shower building—assuming you haven’t already tripped over the loose stones on the way there—you have to cross this dike, constantly risking being hit by a bike. Not suitable for small children or older people who might trip over the stones.
    The restroom facilities themselves are a disaster: Completely open to the public: Since the park is open, anyone cycling or walking along the dike can simply walk right into the restroom building and use it. There is absolutely no privacy or sense of safety.
    Far too little capacity: For the entire campground, there are only 3 toilets, 1 urinal, and 2 showers for women and 2 for men. This leads to long lines, and limiting use to 5 minutes—followed by another 5-minute wait for the next person to shower—is completely inadequate.
    Furthermore, the service at this campground is severely lacking: No facilities & supervision: There are no activities for children, and there is zero supervision at the pool.
    Restaurant: Due to a major staff shortage, it’s almost impossible to get service, or people are simply forgotten.
    Remote location: To find a restaurant or store, you have to travel to surrounding towns or villages, which are quite a distance away.

    The park could have also provided information in advance that the ferry isn’t running and the water level is low, so there are no boats for rent.

    Highly not recommended. Don’t let your vacation and your camping trip here be ruined.

    To end on a positive note, it is a beautiful area; if the water level were high, you could get to Dieren faster by ferry.
    The food at the restaurant is actually quite good.
    And the staff is generally really friendly and helpful.

    Boek hier absoluut niet als je met een tent wilt kamperen. De kampeerplekken die EuroParcs op de website laat zien, zijn niet meer in gebruik. In plaats daarvan word je op een puingrond gezet die vol ligt met grote, losliggende stenen, puin en scherpe schelpen. Mijn nieuwe tent is hierdoor beschadigd geraakt. EuroParcs weigert de schade te vergoeden; deze zaak ligt inmiddels bij mijn reisverzekering.
    De plekken wat nog wel in gras liggen zijn ook allemaal scheef en op helling.
    Het parkontwerp is onlogisch en levensgevaarlijk. In tegenstelling tot andere parken is dit terrein niet afgesloten.
    De kampeergrond grenst direct aan een openbare dijk waar wielrenners en e-bikers met hoge snelheid langsracen.
    Om überhaupt bij het toilet- en douchegebouw te komen, als je in de heenweg al niet bent gestruikeld over de losliggende stenen ,móét je deze dijk oversteken met continu het risico om aangereden te worden. Niet geschikt voor kleine kinderen en oudere mensen die wat kunnen vallen over de stenen.
    Het sanitair zelf is een drama:Compleet openbaar: Omdat het park open is, kan iedereen die over de dijk fietst of wandelt zo het sanitairgebouw inlopen en gebruiken. Totaal geen privacy of veiligheidsgevoel.
    Veel te weinig capaciteit: Er zijn voor de hele camping slechts 3 toiletten, 1 urinoir en 2 douches dames en 2 heren beschikbaar. Dit zorgt voor wachtrijen en door 5 min tijd te geven en dan ook nog weer 5 min wachten tot de volgende kan douchen en is totaal ontoereikend.
    Verder schiet de service op dit park ernstig tekort:Geen faciliteiten & toezicht: Er is geen animatie voor kinderen en er is nul toezicht bij het zwembad.
    Restaurant: Door een groot personeelstekort kun je er nauwelijks terecht of worden mensen vergeten.
    Afgelegen locatie: Voor een restaurant of winkel moet je uitwijken naar omliggende steden of dorpen, die op flinke afstand liggen.

    Ook informatie had vanaf het park wel gedeeld mogen worden vooraf dat de veerboot niet vaart en water laag is dus geen boten te huur zijn.

    Een enorme afrader. Laat je vakantie en je tent hier niet verpesten.

    Om verder nog wel iets positiefs te eindigen, het is wel een prachtige omgeving als het water wel hoog is zou je met de veerboot sneller in Dieren zijn.
    Het eten is wel lekker in het restaurant.
    En het personeel is over het algemeen echt wel vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

    A beautiful, well-maintained resort. We stayed in a house that slept 10 people. It was clean and had everything we needed. I’m deducting one star because there were no mosquito screens—at least in the bedrooms! This meant we couldn’t easily sleep with the windows open at night. And that at 38 degrees!
    Bicycles, boats, and paddleboats are available for rent. Unfortunately, the marina was closed due to low water levels. The swimming beach was also only partially usable due to the lack of water. The small pool is well-suited for children up to 12 years old. However, there are no slides or similar attractions at the pool. The adjacent playground is okay, but there’s room for improvement.
    The staff is friendly and helpful. The small restaurant is perfectly adequate.
    Conclusion: It’s recommended for those seeking peace and quiet as well as active families. (We spent 14 days cycling every day.)
    The park can’t be held responsible for the low water level in the river.

    Schöne gepflegte Anlage. Wir hatten ein Haus für 10 Personen. Es war sauber und alles nötige vorhanden. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für fehlenden Mückenschutz wenigstens in den Schlafräumen! So, dass man Nachts nicht ohne weiteres bei geöffnetem Fenster schlafen konnte. Und das bei 38 Grad!
    Ausleihmöglichkeiten für Fahrräder, Boote und Paddelboote besteht. Leider war die Marina geschlossen wegen Niedrigwasser. Auch der Badestrand war wegen Wassermangel nur bedingt nutzbar. Der kleine Pool ist für Kinder bis 12 Jahre gut nutzbar. Es gibt aber keine Rutschen oder ähnliches am Pool. Der angrenzende Spielplatz ist ok, hat aber noch Luft nach oben.
    Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das kleine Restaurant ist völlig ausreichend.
    Fazit: Für Ruhesuchende und aktive Familien ist es zu empfehlen. ( Wir waren 14 Tage täglich mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs)
    Für den Wassermangel im Fluss kann man den Park nicht verantwortlich machen.

    One of the worst places I've ever visited. They're very "dog-unfriendly" here—there are "No Dogs Allowed" signs everywhere you look. Where are you supposed to walk your dog? And the security staff keeps a very close eye on everything. We left two days earlier than we’d booked… this was our first and last time here.

    Einer der schlechtesten Plätze die ich besucht habe. Hier ist man sehr "Hunde unfreundlich", es gibt an jeder Ecke irgendwelche Verbotschilder für Hunde, wo soll man mit seinem Hund nur laufen und es wird sehr akribisch vom Sicherheitsdienst beobachtet. Wir sind zwei Tage früher wie wir gebucht hatten abgereist....hier waren wir das erste und letzte mal.

    We had a fantastic stay at Beach House No. 12. It was clean, in a great location close to everything, and very quiet.
    The area is great for biking.
    We were here with a 3-year-old, and although this park isn’t really suitable for him (not much to do—there are a few playgrounds, but they’re rather small), we had a wonderful time.
    The restaurant also serves delicious food; we ate there a few times.

    “A quick trip to the store” is a different story, but that had its own charm. Technically, the nearest large store is about 3 kilometers away, but since you’d have to take the ferry—and it’s closed during low tide—that immediately turned into a 17-kilometer trip :-) Luckily, the surroundings are beautiful.
    A few minor issues with our cottage (reported to the front desk)
    —there’s an annoying beeping sound coming from one of the nearby cottages. I couldn’t pinpoint the source, but it was distracting when sitting outside
    - You can swing both front doors open—unfortunately, the right-hand door is a bit stiff, so it doesn’t latch completely, and once it’s open, you can’t close it on your own. You really have to lift and push
    —the bathroom window can’t be tilted; it’s broken.

    I do think it gets terribly hot in these cottages (without AC); one day it was 26 degrees and it was sweltering.

    We’ll definitely be back—without the kids—

    As for all the dog reviews, they’re definitely valid (I don’t have a dog). The park also has a large dog-off-leash area, and there are plenty of posts with bags for dog waste available.

    Tip: If you’re going cycling, check to make sure the water level isn’t too low and that the ferries are running. Otherwise, you might end up cycling an extra 20 kilometers just to cover a 2-kilometer stretch.

    Wij hebben een fantastisch verblijf gehad in het beach house nr 12.het was proper en een goede ligging vlakbij alles en heel rustig.
    De omgeving is geweldig om te fietsen.
    Wij waren hier met een 3 jarige en hoewel dit park niet echt geschikt is voor hem ( weinig te doen. Zijn enkele speeltuintjes maar die zijn eerder klein.) hebben wij ons geweldig geamuseerd.
    Het restaurant heeft ook super lekker eten, daar hebben we enkele keren gebruik van gemaakt.

    " snel even naar de winkel" is een ander verhaal , maar dat had zijn charmes. Opzich is de dichtste grote winkel op +- 3 kilometer maar doordat je de veerpont dan zou moeten nemen, en deze toe is met laag water was dit meteen een tripje van 17 kilometer :-) gelukkig mooie omgeving.
    Enkele min puntjes van onze cottage ( meegedeeld aan de receptie )
    - er is een irritante piep dat van één van de nabije huisjes komt . Ik kon het niet lokaliseren maar buiten zitten was wel storend
    - de voordeur kan je beide deuren open zwieren - helaas is de rechtse deur wat geforceerd waardoor deze niet volledig vast kan én als die open is krijg je die niet meer alleen toe. je moet echt heffen en duwen
    - wc raampje kan niet op kiep stand, kapot.

    ik dénk wel dat het vreselijk warm word in deze huisjes ( zonder airco) wij hadden één dag 26 graden en het was om te smelten.

    Wij komen zeker kinderloos nog es terug

    Wat betreft alle honden reviews , die zeker kunnen ( ik heb geen hond ) op het park is ook een grote hondenlosloopweide en er staan heel veel palen met zakjes voor honden poep ter beschikking .

    Tip : Als je gaat fietsen , informeer even of het geen laag water is & de veerponten varen. Anders kan je 20 kilometer omfietsen voor een stuk van 2 kilometer .
