Camping De Nieuwe Hof

There’s not just one, but two, national parks within easy reach of Camping De Nieuwe Hof in the Gelderland. Nationaal Park Veluwezoom (half an hour’s drive) is Holland’s oldest national park. From its highest point, the Posbank, you can see out over the whole reserve (as far as 20 kilometres). The trails go past drifting sands country estates and plenty more scenic spots, so there’s always somewhere pretty to pause for a picnic. One moment, you're cycling or hiking, and the next, you're touring a palace with royal family heirlooms and gorgeous landscaped grounds. Paleis Het Loo (25 minutes) is on the edge of Apeldoorn (25 minutes), making it an easy add-on to a day out in the city, where you could spend your precious time café-hopping, browsing the museum or riding the Veluwsche steam train to Dieren. Spanning across two different riverbanks, Arnhem (25 minutes) has a collection of museums, and just a little bit further on, Regio de Liemers (35 minutes) has riverfront beaches for swimming and boating as well as yet more lovely hikes (you could hike all holiday long, really…).
