Cycling and walking in the Twente bocage landscape
Around Recreatiepark Kaps you are right in the middle of the typical Twente bocage landscape: alternating woods, meadows, hedgerows, and winding country roads. From the park, you can cycle or walk straight into nature, with several signposted routes that start directly at the park. Along the way, you’ll pass farms, mills, and small villages where you can truly experience that peaceful, rural feeling. Cycling routes are available at reception and range from short loops to trips of many kilometers, so you can discover a different part of Twente every day. Prefer walking? In nature reserves such as Het Springendal and the Valley of the Mosbeek, you can enjoy beautiful walks along springs, streams, and rolling heathlands.


Canoeing in the Twente landscape
Would you like to see Twente from a different perspective? Then hop in a canoe and discover the area from the water. Near Recreation Park ’n Kaps, you can relax and canoe in various places along peaceful rivers and streams, surrounded by greenery, meadows, and old farms. Along the way, all you'll hear is the gentle lapping of the water, birdsong, and occasionally a cow in the distance. Many canoe trips are suitable for families, so children can join in paddling too. You can choose a short route of about an hour, or opt for a longer trip with a picnic along the way. After your canoe trip, it's extra nice to come home to your glamping accommodation at the park. A canoe trip is an ideal family outing: together you'll paddle at a relaxed pace over the water. Along the way, there is plenty to see and discover for both children and adults.
Children’s outings in the area
The area around ’n Kaps is also great fun with children. Get lost in the Groot Twentsch Maisdoolhof, pick your own bouquet at the Twentsche Bloemenpluktuin or take a dip in the recreational lake Het Hulsbeek, with a beach and playgrounds. For climbers, there is the climbing and adventure park Avatarz, featuring exciting courses among the trees. This way, you can easily combine a relaxing stay at the park with a different outing every day.
Visiting charming towns and taking a trip across the border
Just a short drive from the park you'll find Ootmarsum, an atmospheric art town with half-timbered houses, galleries and cozy terraces. Tubbergen itself and the surrounding villages are also fun to explore by bike or car. Looking for something different? In no time you'll be across the German border, for example in Bad Bentheim with its impressive medieval castle—a great day trip from your glamping accommodation.

Plumbing is poorly cleaned, and when showering or washing dishes there is often cold water, otherwise a neat campsite

Leuke camping met prima trekkershutjes. De camping heeft een goed restaurant met indoor speeltuin. Daarnaast is er op de camping een overdekte waterspeeltuin te vinden die fantastisch is voor de kinderen. Ook het buitenbad is netjes. Het sanitair is schoon en heel praktisch met jonge kinderen. Er is een sanitair hokje met bad en babybad en een familiedouche! Ideaal. De kampeervelden zijn ruim en goed onderhouden. Een aanrader!
