Kampeerpark De Boshoek

What a beaut: Recreatiepark De Boshoek at Voorthuizen in Gelderland is in a highly scenic setting for long lazy hols, right in the greenly handsome De Hoge Veluwe Forest, near the historic cities of Arnhem and Nijmegen, and within easy reach of the many castles and manor houses of the Achterhoek area.

But you'll have to get off site first. This is a big holiday park with stacks of facilities to keep all ages amused, from activities for teenagers to GPS walks and an entertainment programme running at least twice a week in high season. There's a wellness centre too, with sauna, steam bath, solarium and beauty centre, and heaps more active facilities including table tennis, a sports field, a tennis court, pétanque courts, pool and billiards, riding sessions, pony riding, miniature golf and archery classes.

And there's also water… Recreatiepark De Boshoek has a heated outdoor pool open from May to September, a heated indoor pool and a heated toddlers' pool as well as a sunbathing area to laze around while getting stuck into a fat tome.

The up-to-date and well-thought-out amenities include showers with hot water, individual wash cabins with toilet paper provided, a chemical disposal point, kids' facilities, a parent and baby room and a room for disabled guests. Washing up sinks, washing machines, dryers and ironing facilities are also on site.

And finally, might you fancy taking a break from cooking/driving on a long lazy hol such as this? The park has a snack bar and restaurant with a full menu as well as a fully-stocked supermarket.
