The 8 best campsites in the Netherlands for large tents

Introduction

Camping in the Netherlands is wonderful. But with a large family tent or inflatable tent, you need a spacious pitch. Not every campsite offers that space. In this article, we list the 8 most beautiful campsites in the Netherlands that are perfect for large tents.

1. The Veluwe — De Hoge Veluwe National Park

The Veluwe is the camping area of the Netherlands. Expansive heathlands, forests, and sand drifts. There are several campsites with spacious pitches, such as Camping De Pampel and Camping Schaarsbergen. Ideal for families with a large tent and cycling children.

2. Zeeland — Camping Scheldeoord, Baarland

Zeeland is known for its peace, space, and the Zeeland delta. Camping Scheldeoord offers spacious pitches with views over the Scheldt estuary. The fresh sea air and the proximity of beaches make this a top combination.

3. Drenthe — Camping De Anderen, Dwingeloo

Drenthe is perhaps the most underestimated camping region in the Netherlands. Little hustle and bustle, lots of space, and wonderfully dark nights (Dwingeloo is an official Dark Sky Park). Perfect for campers looking for peace and stars.

4. Friesland — Camping It Wiid, Earnewâld

In the middle of the Frisian Forest, at the edge of the water. Camping It Wiid is surrounded by lakes and forests. With a large tent, you have plenty of space here and can go canoeing or hiking directly from your pitch.

5. North Holland — Camping Ruimzicht, Callantsoog

Close to the sea and with views over the North Holland polders. Camping Ruimzicht has spacious pitches within walking distance of the beach. Ideal for families who want to combine both camping and a beach holiday.

6. Limburg — Camping Beringerzand, Meijel

The rolling hills of Limburg are ideal for a different camping experience. Camping Beringerzand is located in the middle of nature with forest and water nearby. There are spacious pitches for larger tents and ample facilities.

7. Overijssel — Camping De Kleine Belties, Ootmarsum

Ootmarsum is one of the most picturesque villages in the Netherlands. Camping De Kleine Belties offers quiet camping pitches within cycling distance of the center and the Twente nature. Extremely suitable for a long tent.

8. Gelderland — Camping de Heumense Schans, Heumen

Near Nijmegen, in the middle of the forest. This campsite offers peace and nature just 10 minutes from the city. There are spacious pitches in the shade of the trees — ideal when temperatures rise in the summer.

Tips for booking a spacious pitch

•       Always call or email in advance to provide your tent dimensions

•       Ask for a corner pitch — it's often more spacious

•       Book early, especially for the summer holiday period

•       Mention that you are bringing an inflatable tent — some campsites are still curious about this
