Fun Family Camping in the Netherlands
My Brother phoned me earlier asking where it was that I went on Vacation last year, the place that was on a fun park, with a pool and zoo? Where it was really good for young families?
Well, it was one of two places: one has a Safari park on site and the other claimed to have the longest water slide within its multi fun-pool complex in Europe. We went to both places with Eurocamp, which is very easy to get to from the South of England in the car.
Hilvarenbeek Beekse Berg.
Also known as Speelland where we have been twice.
Situated on a Safari park and children's amusement park. Has small swimming pool and large lake with boats and several petting zoos, a very large site that is lovely to cycle about. In the evening we cycled up to a little known vieing point and watched the Zebras and Giraffes. It's also affiliated with a fun-pool in town (not far away).
Dunrell - Wassenaar
Dunrell is also situated on an amusement park. We likened it to Thorpe park here. This park would perhaps suit older children as it has some additional activities (High ropes, toboggan and age limit rides). But it also has lots for the younger members of the family, including a playground with the equipment playgrounds had when we were kids. Like the Witches Hat, Two storey high slides,large swings, Helter-skelter; all of which we no longer seem to have in the UK these days
. But every day you just have to go to the fun pool which is nice and warm and has so many fun slides... It might just be the best in Europe. I believe our fees covered entry for 2 hours in the pool (at 11am) when we were there.
Both places are not far from Efteling (though Speelland is nearest) which the girls loved.
