Camping Lentemaheerd

Stacks is around to see and do in the northern chunk of the province of Groningen, from fun-filled family days to active afternoons hiking and biking the Camping Lentemaheerd surrounds – or days and evenings among the bars and restaurants of student city Groningen 23 kilometres away. Family days can keep it simple with wanders on the nearby mudflats and the sandbank Simonszand, or around the Nationaal Park Lauwersmeer on the border between Groningen and Friesland. For more organised days, the Seal Rescue Centre (SRRC) in Pieterburen, Wadden Sea World, Insect World in Leens or the maze at the Menkemaborg are all popular family day picks. Other excellent options are a potter around the old fishing port of Noordpolderzijl, the smallest seapotrt oin the Netherlands and five kilometres away, or catching a ferry from the big port of Eemshaven to the German island of Borkum, for ambles along kilometres' worth of sandy beaches and bike tours among the splendid local landscape. The island's Gezeitenland water and wellness complex does spa treatments if you want to stick around for a bit longer.
