DX Adventurepark, a 10-minute walk from the site
Beach

General

  • In a forest three kilometres from the town of Gasselte
  • Close to walking and cycle trails and a swimming lake with beach
  • Home to the largest waterpark in the Netherlands

Forest forays in the north-east Netherlands… among the mountain bike and cycling of the country's Drenthe province and its hundreds of kilometres of trails? If this sounds tiptop, book a break at De Lente van Drenthe.

This family-friendly countryside site is three kilometres from the town of Gasselte, on the edge of the Gieten-Borger forest and its several walking and mountain bike trails. A lake with a beach and a swimming area is a short walk away too; golf, an amusement park, and a national park with more walking and cycle trails are also nearby.

Guided walks, crafts, shows and games for kids are among the activities arranged at De Lente van Drenthe in summer by the recreation team. There's a heated outdoor pool on site too, and a paddling pool, playground, pétanque court, tennis court, football pitch and games room.

In 2018, the clever folks here installed a fab new addition to proceedings: the largest waterpark in the Netherlands, no less. Settle in on site for three nights or more (always a good plan) and you'll be rewarded with free access to the waterpark along with all the other fun bits to do.

Amenities include a launderette, washing-up area and heated washrooms with toilets, showers and baby bathroom.

Open from 02/04/2021 to 03/10/2021

    5* large, comfortable pitches.
    5* clean facilities e.g. shower, toilets

Superb campsite, great facilities, lots of activities for the children …02/08/2019

Reviewer's country: United KingdomAnonymousConfirmed

  • Electric grass pitch
  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    Superb campsite, great facilities, lots of activities for the children to do with the added bonus of the waterpark as part of the price. Reception staff were always friendly and helpful. Lots of pitches and liked the fact there was a water tap for each pitch rather than having to lug water containers to our tent.
    Disliked: 

    Minor dislike but the cleaning of the showers and toilets always happened at 8am, the busiest time for the facilities being used. This was somewhat an inconvenience and perhaps could of been carried out later in the day.

    This was my third year at this site and it is excellent. It is quiet with plenty to see and do in the area. The staff are very helpful (especially as I am a non Dutch speaker) and the site is very clean. I find it to be a perfect place to relax and unwind in a beautiful location.

    Great facilities very clean and tidy. The onsite 'snack' shop served great cooked food. Lots to do on site with two swimming pools, table tennis, tennis courts and with a water park within walking distance. Lovely stay and would most certainly return in the future.

  • A good stay but frosty
  • Liked: 

    Very much liked the general layout and the showe block.
    Disliked: 

    The roads need work a few potholes, also the Wifi and the TV point did not work. Reported to the staff and they were very accepting. Furthermore some defined paths would be good instead of just the road. We understandably that we came right at the very start of the season but there was hardly anything open.

Local attractions

The Drenthe province is the best known in the Netherlands for its cycling options and hundreds of kilometres of trails through towns and villages, canals, forest and heath. If you’re after more kid-friendly ways to see the surrounds, head to Outdoor Center Boomkroonpad (four kilometres away) for a woodland playground, a viewing tower and a trail through the treetops.

It's only a few kilometres from the site to the Drouwenerzand amusement park and its rides, rollercoasters, trampolines and loads of indoor play. Options a little further away include the Joytime climbing park (nine kilometres), meeting the beasts at Wildlands adventure zoo (26 kilometres) and speedy days at the Assen TT Circuit (30 kilometres).

For something a little more laidback, head for the history-themed activities at the Hunebedden Centrum in Borger (nine kilometres) or remind the kids of the need for good behaviour at the National Prison Museum (40 kilometres).
