  • Spacious greenery-filled site 15 minutes' walk from central Woerden
  • Utrecht and Gouda half an hour away by car or train
  • Large fishing lake and playground on site; public pool next door
If you're torn between the idea of a convenient town setting and a relaxed rural spot for your family camping trip, allow yourselves the luxury of having both with a stay at Camping Batenstein, in the West Netherlands. Pitches here are spacious and surrounded by lovely greenery and flowers, with the landscapes of the Groene Hart polders as a backdrop. The peaceful atmosphere is boosted further by views of the large lake, which takes up almost half of the six-acre site. With a setting like this, it's no surprise to hear that walking, cycling and fishing are popular pastimes here – for the last of these you can try your luck hooking carp and pike from the site's lake if you've got the right permit. If the kids need a bit more entertainment, you can let them run about at the site's playground or take them next door to the public swimming pool. And if all this sounds lovely and rural… well, you'd be mistaken, because in fact this Utrecht-region site is in the Bredius Park area of the town of Woerden. That means that whenever you fancy it you can head into the centre of of town (about 15 minutes' walk/five minutes' cycle) to find shops and places to eat, or board a train to more far-flung destinations (Utrecht, Rotterdam, Gouda and ’s-Hertogenbosch are among the options).

Tina E. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked: Nearness to town

Disliked: Not a hard standing pitch ! Which I paid for. The reception said it was grass over hardcore, but it was wet weather and the pitch was very muddy. The showers are extra, as is the hot water to wash pots .

Local attractions

A wander around Woerden should be your first outing, of course – it’s a lovely town with lots of traditional buildings, including the Petruskerk, the City Museum and the Windhond windmill. You can also visit the Cheese Warehouse experience, see the historic cheese market on Saturday mornings or walk along the canal path to see all the classic boats bobbing in the water. A little way out of town (half an hour's walk/10 minutes' cycle), Boerderij de Boerinn is the place to try all sorts of activities like paddleboarding, canoeing, clog golf and goat yoga (yes, goat yoga…) as well as being good place for indoor games on damp days. There are lots of lovely (and easy) walks and bike rides in the surrounding polders too. Looking further afield, you may like to visit the famed cheese town of Gouda, tour the canals in Utrecht (both half an hour by car or train) or see the cathedral and Jheronimus Bosch Art Center in ’s-Hertogenbosch (an hour by car or train).
