Experience the charm of nature at De Bosrand in Drenthe – a family-friendly campsite on the edge of the forest.
At our car-free park, kids can roam freely among the animals, explore the playgrounds, or jump on the trampoline – while parents relax on the terrace or enjoy a walk in the woods. Whether you bring your own tent, camper or stay in one of our glamping tents, the outdoor experience is always central.
Paviljoen Boszicht – our on-site café and restaurant – offers fresh meals, drinks and a warm atmosphere with a view of the forest. You’ll also find a petting zoo, ponies, alpacas and even the chance to join feeding rounds or short rides.
Located near a swimming lake and Geopark de Hondsrug, De Bosrand is perfect for families, nature lovers and anyone who enjoys a peaceful, playful holiday in the heart of Drenthe.
