Glamping Mooirust is praised for its friendly and helpful staff and the stunning, tranquil location on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug with expansive views over the fields. Guests appreciate the luxurious, fully equipped tents with comfortable beds, a spacious bathroom with rain shower, and a well-stocked kitchen where everything has been thought of. The hot tubs and campfire facilities add to the relaxed atmosphere, while nature with regular sightings of deer and buzzards provides a unique experience. A minor point of attention is the sound from the nearby motorway, which some guests perceive as audible.

A wonderful glamping experience and highly recommended!
Mooirust is such a delightful discovery. You drive up along a beautiful road, and the tents are beautifully nestled among the greenery. The view from the tent is truly magnificent. Inside, it’s beautifully decorated, comfortable, and equipped with every amenity.
For us, this was the ideal base for a lovely hike in the area and a visit to Amerongen Castle.
The hospitality also deserves a compliment. Owner Henk genuinely wants you to have a good time and regularly checks in to see if everything is okay. You immediately feel welcome here. A wonderful place to stay!this is a translation, click here for the original
Prachtige glamping en een absolute aanrader!
Wat een fijne ontdekking is Mooirust. Je rijdt aan via een mooie weg en de tenten staan prachtig verscholen in het groen opgesteld. Het vergezicht vanaf de tent is echt schitterend. Binnen is het heel mooi ingericht, comfortabel en werkelijk van alle gemakken voorzien.
Voor ons was dit de ideale basis voor een mooie wandeling in de omgeving en een bezoek aan Kasteel Amerongen.
Ook de gastvrijheid verdient een compliment. Eigenaar Henk wil écht dat je het naar je zin hebt en vraagt regelmatig of alles oké is. Je voelt je hier direct welkom. Een heerlijke plek om te verblijven! -

This is real peace and quiet and it is really beautiful. A huge field in front, the ridge behind it and so very close, and then of course the tent. Incredibly comfortable, spacious and just really nice. Spacious bathroom with good shower. Very complete kitchen fully equipped. BBQ, fire bowls, jacouzi's. Perfect location to get together with a larger group, be it family or team building, or with the family to get out into nature. Very good, friendly and communicative host. Thumbs up!

Dit is echte rust en het is echt mooi. Een enorm veld voor de deur, de heuvelrug daarachter en dus heel dichtbij, en dan natuurlijk de tent. Ontzettend comfortabel, ruim en gewoon heel leuk. Ruime badkamer met goede douche. Zeer complete keuken van alle gemakken voorzien. BBQ, vuurschalen, jacouzi’s. Perfecte locatie om met een grotere groep samen te zijn, of het nu om familie of teambuilding gaat, of met het gezin de natuur op te zoeken. Zeer goede, vriendelijke en communicatieve gastheer. Duimen omhoog!
