  • 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 campsite earns praise for its beautiful, well-kept natural setting and spacious sites. Guests rave about the excellent, modern facilities, including spotless washrooms and a popular pool with water features. Staff are consistently friendly and helpful. Great for families with plenty of play areas and activities, adults also enjoy the peace. A few noted minor shower timing issues and dog restrictions by the pool.

Liked Het toilet gebouw was super netjes en schoon, 3x een lekker ligbad voor kinderen, kinder wc en veel wc’s.
Het terein is erg groot, wel leuke speeltuinen.

Disliked Op de site stond niet dat het water pretpark dicht was.
Er hadden wat meer kleinere speeltuinen of picknick banken op de velden gemogen.
Er stond constant harde radio aan in het toilet gebouw. Ook sochtends wanneer je kop er niet naar stond of savonds met druk kind werdt je verplicht naar reclames te luisteren wat zorgde voor over prikkeling.

Liked Spacious area for our van in beautiful surroundings. Endless cycling opportunities from the site in all directions. Good selection in site shop with lovely morning bread options.

Disliked Showers could be slightly warmer as not able to be adjusted. Only cold water to wash hands beside toilets.

Liked Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Le site est magnifique, boisé. Tout est parfaitement entretenu et propre. Le personnel très gentil malgré la barrière de langue et a l'écoute pour répondre a nos besoins. Tous souriants. La beauté du site est exceptionnelle. Nous avons adoré nos promenades du soir. Nous espérons revenir l'année prochaine avec notre famille. Nous n'avons pas d'enfant par contre le site est vraiment bien aménagé pour eux. Il y a des airs de jeux un peu partout sur le site, une grande piscine avec jeux aquatiques et un espace avec un parcours du combattant (très original). Nous recommandons sans hésitation

Liked Alles!
Sanitair wordt dagelijks gepoetst, personeel heel vriendelijk. Ook de andere camping gasten waren aangenaam. Kinderen hebben zich enorm geamuseerd. Dus moederhart heel blij 😉

Disliked Er werd online vermeld dat het buitenzwembad was verwarmd. Misschien vermelden dat dit dan door de zon moet gebeuren. Want het was echt ijskoud 😅

Liked The natural spaces were beautiful, it felt as though they had kept as much of the natural landscape as possible. Our pitch was very generous, with plenty of space between our neighbours.
The weather was very warm and the pool was perfect for everyone, we especially loved the built in seat in the toddler pool.
It was the perfect spot to take our bikes with plenty to routes to take within and outside the site.
This was our first campervan trip abroad and it was the perfect place to start, everyone was so friendly and helpful it made for the perfect holiday.
