  • Entire campsite is smoke-free, a big plus for us

    Very nice and quiet campsite. We were with the camper and our dog. Beautiful spacious places. Entire campsite non-smoking, a big plus for us. Pleasant reception, nice atmosphere. Beautiful surroundings for walking and cycling. Almost on the Berkel, so water recreation is also possible. Easy to drive to via beautiful tree-lined avenues. Very clean sanitary facilities, good waste disposal facilities. Absolute top.

  • A gem among the campsites

    A gem among the campsites. Super nice clean sanitary facilities. Electricity you pay afterwards based on use. In the area many walking and cycling routes. At 15 minutes cycling several villages such as Zutphen and Lochem. But also Almen is already nice with a Museum and a great restaurant. Large Spacious places with water and drainage. The places are equipped with grass, 1 part of which is paved. In the summer a nice terrace and in the winter Eco homes for rent.

  • Really a big domain... Beautiful place

    We, my husband and I and our dog Tess, camped in April 2023 at a beautiful spot on the Berkel. Then we saw that there are three beautiful eco-homes for rent.

    I immediately thought: I'm going to enjoy a weekend there with my daughter. So I booked a weekend in October 2024... We just got back, and it was fantastic! I can't think of anything that wasn't present in the beautiful house. And what a view from the beautiful, light house... Wonderful! What a party 🥳 to spend a weekend here.

    The camping spots and the eco-homes will definitely stay in my mind. The lovely people who run this Domain are very friendly!
