  • Kid-friendly woodland site less than half an hour's drive from Utrecht
  • A short drive from culture and nature sites like estates and castles
  • Bicycle hire on site; seasonal heated outdoor pool with slides
If you like the outdoors, nature and visiting cultural sites like castles and estates, take up your rightful place in the playfully laid out pitches at RCN Vakantiepark Het Grote Bos in Doorn. Based in Het Grote Bos, the pitches at this site are spacious enough that you'll have lots of privacy while still being able to meet other guests. This is a stunning spot for outdoor holidays… You might not think of hills when you think of the Netherlands, famed for its flat lands, but RCN Vakantiepark Het Grote Bos is a scenic and green woodland park set among the forests, moorlands and large estates of the Utrecht Hill Ridge. Tackle the ridge on foot or by bike; the site hires out commuter bikes, mountain bikes and electric bikes so that guests can get out into the sandhill surroundings. You could even pedal along to Utrecht, which is 16 kilometres away from the site along the (mainly flat) Arnhemse Bovenweg. This is also a spectacular site for families, as during high season, there is a heated outdoor pool with spectacular slides and a separate paddling pool with stacks of water toys. Kids can let off steam in the spacious sandy playground with a sandpit, climbing frame and tyre swing. There are loads of outdoor sports on site too, including miniature golf, bowling, tennis and BMXing on the purpose-built track. Football lessons are available, and the site also has a fossil field, nature pond and a survival course. Even fussy guests should be satisfied with the dining options: a restaurant and snack bar are open seven days per week in school holidays. There's a supermarket open during peak season, and freshly baked bread is available every morning.

What customers say

This is a spacious, clean, and well-maintained park set within a forest, highly recommended for families with children due to its numerous sports, play facilities, and a popular swimming pool with slides. Visitors highlight friendly and helpful staff, good Wi-Fi, and clean, modern sanitary facilities, including family showers. Pitches are described as generous and private. While generally positive, some reviews mention short shower timings, limited activities outside peak season, and the park's large size being a minor drawback. The location is also praised for being a good base for cycling and exploring nearby cities.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked De plek waar wij stonden. Op plek 1046. De kleine man kon naar de speeltuin terwijl wij bij onze tent konden blijven zitten en hem toch in de gaten hadden. Ook zaten we dichtbij het het zwembad, toiletgebouw, winkel en de recepties.

Disliked En waren weinig activiteiten buiten het hoogseizoen. Erg jammer voor kleine kinderen.
