  • Small, simple and rural site two kilometres from Blokzijl
  • A 10-minute drive to Giethoorn; half an hour to Zwolle
  • Pond on site for swimming and fishing, plus a cosy recreation room
Keep it small and simple for your Overijssel holiday with a stay at Kleine Camping de Duin. This friendly, clean site is next to a farm at the end of a cobblestoned country lane. It's a small place with no large-scale facilities, and set about two kilometres from the town of Blokzijl, it makes a lovely, straightforward base for an outdoor break in this scenic part of the world. There are heaps of options for getting out and about in this area – you can hire e-bikes nearby, take walks in the Weerribben-Wieden National Park, board boat trips or rent canoes for days of paddling along the local waterways. The gorgeous town of Giethoorn (aka the ‘Venice of the North’) is only about 10 minutes' drive away, and there's a pond a few minutes' walk from the pitches for swimming and fishing. With all these activities to fill your days, it's good that this site is a fine place to have some relaxed downtime in between outings. Each grass pitch has an electric connection, and there are various handy facilities on site including a washing machine, showers, toilets and picnic tables. A small play area and trampoline should help to keep the kids entertained – and if rain stops play, they can head inside to the recreation room, which has a TV, books, games and comfy seating. Barbecues are permitted here for those who'd like to try a bit of outdoor cooking; supplies can be picked up at the shops and supermarket in Blokzijl (five minutes away by bike), and the town also has restaurants and cafés.

What customers say

This is a quiet, natural campsite with large pitches and free choice of spot. Guests appreciate the peace and beautiful surroundings, with nearby town access. However, some find the facilities basic and dated, with occasional cleanliness issues noted. The access road is narrow and potentially challenging for larger vehicles. Staff are described as friendly and helpful.

From the manager: Bedankt Ronald en Noa voor jullie mooie review en fijne woorden! 😊

Wat leuk om te lezen dat jullie genoten hebben van de rust, de omgeving en jullie weekend bij ons. Fijn dat alles naar wens was en dat jullie onze gastvrijheid hebben gewaardeerd.

Bedankt ook voor de tip over het informatiebord bij de ingang van de camping. Daar zijn we het helemaal mee eens. We gaan deze winter op zoek naar een mooi passend bordje, zodat het voor nieuwe gasten direct duidelijk is hoe alles werkt bij aankomst.

Nogmaals dank voor jullie bezoek en hopelijk mogen we jullie in de toekomst nog eens verwelkomen op onze camping!

Hartelijke groet,

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Trevor,

We are sorry to read that our campsite did not meet your expectations. At the same time, we are genuinely hurt by the statements made in this review, as we believe they do not reflect reality.

We clearly advertise ourselves as a simple campsite with basic facilities. We have never claimed to be a luxury resort or a five-star holiday park. Considering the price of €25 per night, we believe guests can reasonably expect a simple camping experience rather than extensive luxury amenities.

What we find particularly disappointing is the claim that reality is "vastly different from the photos." This is simply not true. Our photos are genuine, up to date, and accurately represent the campsite, the pitches, and the facilities we offer. Disliking a campsite is one thing, but suggesting that the photos are misleading is unfair and unnecessarily damaging.

We fully respect that our campsite may not suit everyone's preferences. However, we feel it is important to point out that guests can review both our photos and our detailed description before making a reservation. Being a simple campsite is not a reason to portray us as dishonest or misleading.

We regret that our campsite was not the right match for your expectations, but we stand by the accuracy of our description and photographs.

Kind regards,
The Campsite Team

From the manager: zeer onfatsoenlijke haatdragende reviwe die ons raakt
Copilot said:
Lieber Norbert,

Es tut uns leid, dass unser Campingplatz nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat. Gleichzeitig hat uns diese Bewertung sehr getroffen.

Wir sind ein einfacher Campingplatz und stellen uns auch genau so dar. Unsere Fotos und unsere Beschreibung entsprechen der Realität. Für 25 € pro Nacht bieten wir keine Fünf-Sterne-Anlage, sondern eine einfache Übernachtungsmöglichkeit an einem wunderschönen Standort.

Besonders traurig finden wir, dass aufgrund eines Aspekts, der Ihnen offenbar nicht gefallen hat, der gesamte Campingplatz abgewertet wird und uns sogar empfohlen wird, den Betrieb einzustellen. Das empfinden wir als sehr verletzend und unfair gegenüber uns als Eigentümern. Wir sind ein kleines Team, das jeden Tag sein Bestes gibt, um den Platz schön zu gestalten, sauber zu halten und unseren Gästen einen angenehmen Aufenthalt zu bieten.

Noch bedauerlicher ist, dass Sie Ihre Unzufriedenheit nicht direkt mit uns besprochen haben. Hätten Sie uns vor Ort angesprochen, hätten wir gemeinsam nach einer Lösung gesucht. Wenn Sie wirklich so unzufrieden gewesen wären, hätten wir sogar über eine Rückerstattung sprechen können.

Stattdessen haben Sie sich für eine öffentliche Bewertung entschieden, die nicht nur unseren Campingplatz kritisiert, sondern uns persönlich trifft. Umso schwerer fällt uns dies, weil wir von vielen Gästen sehr positive Bewertungen erhalten und deren Erfahrungen ein deutlich anderes Bild zeichnen.

Selbstverständlich respektieren wir, dass unser Campingplatz nicht jedermanns Geschmack ist. Kritik gehört dazu. Diese Bewertung empfinden wir jedoch als unnötig hart, respektlos und verletzend.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Das Campingplatz-Team

Local attractions

Fishing and swimming in the on-site pond are both lovely activities – but what if it rains? Well, you’ll need to head to Forelwereld (15 minutes’ drive) for an unusual indoor trout fishing experience, or take your swimming togs along to the pool in Blokzijl (three minutes). There’s also an indoor/outdoor pool complex in Vollenhove (five minutes) and a recreational pool at Waterwyck (15 minutes) so water babies have plenty of choice. There are lots of great walking and bike paths nearby, so bring your boots and/or bikes, or hire e-bikes at one of the local hubs (the closest being in Blokzijl). The Weerribben-Wieden National Park, a couple of kilometres away, is the most popular local destination, with the lakes, canals, woods and reedbeds home to lots of wonderful wildlife. You can explore by bike or on foot, or hire boats, canoes or paddleboards to get around. For other days out, get along to the canals and bridges of Giethoorn (10 minutes) or see the colourful exotic plants and animals of Pantropica (15 minutes). The Hanseatic cities of Hasselt (20 minutes) and Zwolle (half an hour) could also be on the schedule.
