Camperplaats Pontdyk

If you’re a fan of water-based activities, you’ve come to the right place – whether you’re visiting for major events like Skutjessilen and SneekWeek or heading out to captain your own boat around local waterways. Boats can be hired in Langweer (20 minutes’ cycle) and you can also sign up for sailing trips on a wooden boat from the site. If you don’t fancy taking to the water, you can easily explore on foot or by bike – the site has a couple of good route recommendations using local bike paths and ferries to show you some of the area’s best scenery. You might want to put places like Joure (25 minutes) and Sint Nicolaasga (half an hour) on your itinerary, or head somewhere like Outdoorpark Friesland (40 minutes) for some great fishing. Sneek (15 minutes’ drive/half an hour by bike) is your nearest big town, with historic sights like the water gate (from 1613), museums including the Fries Scheepvaart Museum and open spaces like Burgemeester rasterhofpark, which is home to some hairy Highland cows.
