Peaceful family-friendly site on the banks of the Sneekermeer
15 minutes' drive from Sneek and the National Model Railway Museum
Sailing school, harbour and watersports rentals on site

Sailing sorts and budding boaties alike, cruise along to RCN Vakantiepark De Potten for days spent pottering around on and by the waters of the Sneekermeer, one of the Friesian lakes. Life at the park, 15 minutes’ drive from the city of Sneek, pretty much revolves around the water. Boat owners can moor their vessels in the harbour by the site, while newbies learn the basics or up their skills with lessons from the on-hand experts. Rowing and sailing boats, pedalos and canoes can be hired, and there are lots of little clearings for anglers too. There are plenty of other things to get up to, such as wandering over to the beach, where there’s a safe swimming area and plenty of sand and grass to sprawl out on for post-swim sunbathing. All sorts of dry-side activities exist here too: a multisports field and a beach volleyball court for team games, along with a tennis court, table tennis, table football and giant chess. Kids can aim for a hole in one at the miniature golf course, climb and slide at the playground or jump around on the trampolines. And that’s before they’ve even started perusing the extensive menu of activities in high season – face painting, crafts, circus skills and all sorts await. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with snacks and drinks available all day. There's also a site shop for barbecue bits, and a croissanterie with fresh supplies to tear into every day.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The bakery wonderful service with fresh rolls and fries and hot snacks take away service, warm clean showers.
Cycling to Sneek

Disliked: When I chose and booked this campsite it was because of all the lovely photographs of waterside pitches. False advertising. Be warned if you have a touring caravan you will be allocated a pitch on grass no hard standing even though it states that on the pitch up booking confirmation, in a field surrounded by hedges with no views at all. Then you will be told you will have to leave you car outside in the car park despite the fact there is more than enough room for your car. Despite the fact that the chalets are allowed to park their cars next to the chalet.
I tried very hard to get a waterside pitch with two members of staff to no avail.

I would estimate 95% of this site with waterside pitches are ‘permanents’ and there is a distinct feeling of segregation between caravans and the rest where they stick caravans in a boring no view field.
Check in time on Pitch Up is wrong it should be 1300hrs NOT 12 noon.

After 4 days we had a tent camp next to us with a family of very noisy kids which was awful

I found this campsite quite sad and depressing to wander around seeing nothing but empty closed up caravans with awnings added onto awnings facing the water with no one in them. It was the biggest mistake of my 3 month stay in The Netherlands having booked 7 nights here.
I will avoid large commercial campsites from now on.
The best bit was driving away.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Ist eine sehr grosse Anlage, man merkt es aber gar nicht, weil es viele Abzweigungen gibt. Die Sanitär Einrichtungen sind top. Jeder hat einen separaten Stromzugang. Frische Brötchen kann man jeden Morgen holen. Essen könnte man auch dort. Mit dem Velo ist es ein Traum. Schnell ist man in der Stadt Sneek oder man kann die Gegend geniessen. Würden sofort wieder kommen

Disliked: Mückenspray nicht vergessen

Local attractions

This part of Friesland is mighty green and pleasant, and crossed with a network of canals, rivers and lakes that make for excellent exploring by boat, by bike or on foot. However you roam, there are lots of little villages and towns around the area too for wanderings and consuming coffee and pancakes in cosy cafés. For a change of scenery, take a half-hour drive to the Gaasterland forests around Oudemirdum, where you can walk and cycle on paths that run down to the coast of the IJsselmeer. If the weather’s not conducive to outdoorsy pursuits, take the kids to the Ballorig indoor play centre in Heerenveen, half an hour away, or clamber up the walls of De Stolp climbing centre, 15 minutes away. Another kid-friendly day out is Aqua Zoo, 40 minutes away in the car. All manner of aquatic mammals call this home, including penguins, seals and flamingoes, along with others such as wallabies and gibbons.
