  • Edging a forest on the outskirts of the Veluwe national park
  • A five-minute drive to Otterlo town and 15 minutes to Burgers' Zoo
  • Bike hire, swimming pool, playgrounds, table tennis and go-karts
Venturing to the Veluwe? You’re in luck: you can easily explore the woodland, heaths, streams and hills of this national park in Gelderland from a modern base at Resort De Wije Werelt about a 10-minute drive from the reserve and in a pretty forested setting… The area’s also famed for its sand drifts – it’s home to some of the biggest in Europe – with one accessible 20 minutes' walk from the park. Well-known museums, historic towns and foodie options are dotted around the region as well and are easy to access by car or on one of the site’s rental bikes. You won’t necessarily need to leave the park for eats and entertainment though: food and drink’s sorted thanks to the à la carte restaurant, diner and snack bar, and amenities like playgrounds, table tennis, an outdoor swimming pool and go-kart hire will keep the kids busy. If you’ve got mini members in your travel crew, family-friendly places of note are also nearby. You could head to Burgers' Zoo (15 minutes’ drive away) to amble through this 45-hectare space in Arnhem with habitats for animals ranging from pythons to monkeys or whizz through the sky on some of the 60 rides at the Julianatoren Apeldoorn amusement park for under-12s (30 minutes away). Counter the excitement with cultural activities too by trying the Kröller-Müller Museum 10 minutes’ drive away inside the Veluwe national park for a collection of art spanning the 19th and 20th centuries or get an immersive look at local history in the old houses, farms and factories at the Netherlands Open Air Museum (25 minutes).

Fully-serviced grass site

Liked: Friendly staff, great facilities and good position for touring

Disliked: There was some confusion during my late check-in which meant I almost did not get access to my pitch before the 10pm deadline, and it was quite stressful.

Fully-serviced grass site

Liked: Het sanitair was picco bello in orde.
Onze dochter van 13 vond de animatie top.
Zelfs de speeltuinen (binnen en buiten) vond ze leuk.
Het was makkelijk met het winkeltje op de camping om 's morgens verse broodjes te halen.
Het ontvangst was hartelijk.
De medewerkers waren allemaal vriendelijk.
De omgeving is heel aangenaam.
Veel te doen. Fietsen, wandelen, een klimbos en andere.

Fully-serviced grass site (comfort)

Liked: Excellent facilities, very clean toilet and shower facilities, plenty for young and older children to do, beautifully peaceful location, great pitches, some with fantastic private bathrooms on the pitch- very clean , spacious and heated. Very good restaurant and bar area with great outdoor seating area and good food and very friendly and helpful staff made you feel very welcome. Overall excellent location for exploring the beautiful and interesting Arnhem area.

Disliked: Maybe the only thing to make it even better would be a better hard standing area for the caravan or campervan to sit on just to avoid paddling as much sand into the van.

Fully-serviced grass site

Liked: Very good customer services, made very welcome on arrival at reception. Very clean showers, toilets & washing up area. We had a pitch with water & EHU. Shop, restaurant & cafe on site. Good cycle routes direct from campsite to the local village of Otterlo which had a Spar & quite a few restaurants & cafes. Cycling routes were excellent in the area & we cycled to the forest & also into Arnhem. Visited in school term time so very quiet, but seemed as though children would enjoy it there with an outdoor pool & several play areas.

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

As well as family-friendly and cultural things to do, Gelderland has offbeat options as well: think the Dutch Poultry Museum (20 minutes’ drive), the De Passiflorahoeve butterfly garden (15 minutes) and a tourist-centred asparagus farm (45 minutes). If you’d rather choose more standard ways to while away the time, a winery is 10 minutes’ drive away and Recreation Zeumeren is within 25 for sandy lakeside beaches and sunbathing areas as well as miniature golf, water skiing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding and canoeing. For days out without getting wet, the site’s also well placed: it’s under 40 minutes’ drive from the cities and towns of Arnhem, Apeldoorn, Ede and Nijmegen if you fancy mornings and afternoons full of art galleries, old architecture and top eats.
