Camping Heino

Not content with simply providing plenty for kids to do on site, this is a place that’s also cleverly placed for getting out to lots of family-friendly attractions. Bundle the family in the car for the 20-minute drive to the waterpark and rides at AdventurePark Hellendoorn, or the thrills of Walibi Holland (45 minutes’ drive), home to some of the country’s biggest and wildest rides. Dedicated scream-seekers can strap in for yet more rides at Apeldoorn’s Julianatoren theme park (45 minutes); if it’s time to get the heart rate back to normal, aim for the town’s Apenheul monkey park instead. Don’t have to bow to the demands of the younger generation? There are rather more placid days out to be had walking around Beeldentuin Mariënheem sculpture garden (15 minutes) or Sallandse Heuvelrug nature reserve (25 minutes). Guests might also like to take the 10-minute drive to either arty Kasteel Het Nijenhuis (10 minutes) or the more powerful displays at the American Motorcycle Museum.
