Beach on site and woodburning baths for a fee; shops a short walk away

What’s a typical packing list for Camping Vrijhaven in Friesland? Your folding deck chairs and bucket and spades might turn up at the top of the list, as the small, scenic site is on the banks of a small lake connected to the Heegermeer. Being positioned right on the lakeside, it’s likely that guests will want to pack their swimwear for the site too, as the site runs sailing, surfing, kitesurfing and paddleboarding lessons during high season. The lake’s splendid and relatively shallow waters make an excellent water play area for the kids. Learning to sail on the one-person Optimist sailing boat can also be arranged for pint-sized guests. If you’re more into your sun salutations, the site also runs yoga sessions. As a small, family-run spot, the owners count sustainability and humour as two of the most important aspects of their site. Camping Vrijhaven is pretty much designed for guests to relax and catch their breath, especially for those from urban areas who don’t see this kind of scenery every day. The fields are varied, some with more privacy or shade than others, and firepits are kindly permitted. If you want to take your bicycle for a spin, cycling trails can be accessed directly from the site – perhaps begin in Gaastmeer, 15 minutes’ ride away, where the 90-kilometre-long Helftstedentocht trail winds on through six Frisian cities and villages, past dikes, lakes, meadows and other gorgeous sights. It's a five-minute walk from Camping Vrijhaven into the village of Heeg where there are shops to source food for alfresco meals, restaurants and takeaways. Jacob, the owner of the site, has also come up with a woodburning, heated outdoor bath deliverable to your pitch for an additional price.

Local attractions

Boating is a big thing in this part of Friesland. Sneek (15 minutes’ drive) has a different setting for wannabe sailors. Hiring a boat may take you past the 17th-century canal gateway, Waterpoort, and rows of pretty houses. Take your time wandering between the town hall and the maritime museum. It might be a good idea to save some energy for a visit to De Alde Feanen National Park (50 minutes), where there are lengthy cycling or hiking trails among reed beds, riverways, villages and meadows. A canoe is also a splendid way to get around this wildlife haven and to get up close to the many creatures. Any wanderings in Bolsward (25 minutes) are bound to be a good time too. There’s a city hall, a church with a glass roof and boat rental – and how about a Frisian herbal bitter, Sonnema, to wash it all down?
