Summary created out of 258 reviews

De Pampel is a family campsite in the heart of the Veluwe, valued for its beautiful forested location and excellent facilities for children. Guests praise the enthusiastic animation team, the many playgrounds scattered across the site, and the swimming pool with slide. Staff are often experienced as friendly and helpful, and the pitches are spacious and varied (sun/shade). At the same time, there are significant complaints about the strict wristband policy, which many find intimidating and unfriendly. Sanitary facilities receive mixed reviews: some find them clean and well-maintained, others complain about inadequate cleaning, musty smells, and insufficient capacity. The pool water is considered too cold by many guests, and opening hours of the restaurant and shop are limited. The balance between a beautiful natural location and areas for improvement in hospitality and comfort defines the experience.

    Accommodations: plenty of space for two adults; all necessary household
    items were provided. The beds (personal opinion) could be a bit higher, and the mattresses a bit firmer. We had a wonderful time. We’ll definitely be back!

    Today I took a quick walk around De Pampel. What a lovely, wonderful campground.
    Nice spots in the woods and even spots with private restrooms.
    We were greeted warmly.
    Luckily, we managed to grab an ice cream at 4:28 p.m.—everything was closed from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. due to a break.
    I saw the pool; it looked nice, though a bit smaller than expected.
    All in all, a great campground for a week of camping with young children.

    Vandaag even een rondje gelopen over de pampel. Wat een leuke heerlijke camping.
    Leuke bosplekjes en zelfs plekken met privé sanitair.
    We werden vriendelijk ontvangen.
    Gelukkig om 1628 nog even een ijsje gehaald van van 1630 tot 1700 was alles even dicht ivm pauze.
    Zwembad gezien en zag er goed uit wel wat kleiner dan verwacht.
    Al met al leuke camping voor een weekje kamperen met jongeren kinderen.

    Vacation 2026. We’ve reserved a spot in the woods for two weeks with our new tent.
    It’s a kid-friendly campground with various types of sites (meadow, woods, cabins for large groups, etc.). There’s plenty to do at the campground and in the surrounding area. So there’s something for everyone.
    Having breakfast every morning with fresh, warm … rolls—what a treat.
    The area where you can use the showers, sinks, and restrooms is also clean and tidy.
    We’ll definitely be coming back here.
    Camping de Pampel, thank you for the wonderful vacation we were able to spend with you—see you next time.

    Best regards,

    The Zwaag-Beek Family

    Vakantie 2026. We hebben een bosplaats gereserveerd voor 2 weken met onze nieuwe tent.
    Het is een kindvriendelijke camping met verschillende standplaatsen (veld, bos, huisjes voor grote gezelschappen enz). Er is genoeg te doen op de camping en omgeving. Dus voor ieder wat wils.
    Elke ochtend ontbijten met verse warme broodjes, wat is dat een genot.
    Ook de ruimte waar je gebruik kan maken van de douches, (af-)wasbakken en toiletten zijn schoon en netjes.
    We gaan hier zeker weer heen.
    Camping de Pampel bedank voor een heerlijke vakantie die we bij jullie hebben mogen door brengen en tot een volgende keer.

    Vriendelijke groet,

    Familie Zwaag - Beek

    We took our granddaughter on a short vacation at Camping de Pampel, and we really enjoyed it. We were warmly welcomed, the campsite was beautiful, and there was a nice pool with a water playground, as well as an indoor playground where our granddaughter could play to her heart’s content. There was also plenty of entertainment for her, so we had a … great time too. Good-quality snacks. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed.
    In short, we’ll definitely be back.

    Mer onze kleindochter een korte vakantie op camping de Pampel en dat is ons prima bevallen. Goede ontvangst, mooie kampeerplek, fijn zwembad met waterspeelplaats, een overdekte speelplaats waar onze kleindochter zich kon uitleven. Verder ook genoeg vertier voor haar waardoor wij het ook naar ons zin hadden. Goede kwaliteit snacks. Het restaurant was helaas gesloten.
    Kortom, wij komen nog wel eens terug.

    What a really nice campground. We stopped by unexpectedly to spend a few nights in Apeldoorn. It’s quiet here. You can choose whether to set up on an open field or in the woods. And the restrooms are very clean. They’re nice and warm, too.
    Highly recommended

    Wat een super leuke camping. We zijn onverwachts gekomen voor een paar nachten in apeldoorn door te brengen. Het is hier rustig. Je kan kiezen of je op een veld mag staan of in het bos. En het sanitair is zeer proper en schoon. En ook lekker warm.
    Een aanrader
