  • Small rural Overijssel site two kilometres from Blokzijl
  • A 10-minute drive to Giethoorn; half an hour to Zwolle
  • Pond on site for swimming and fishing, plus cosy recreation room
Keep it small and cosy for your Overijssel holiday with a stay at Kleine Camping de Duin. This quiet rural site is next to a farm about two kilometres from the town of Blokzijl, and it makes a lovely base for an outdoor break in this scenic part of the world. There are heaps of options for getting out and about in this area – you can hire e-bikes nearby, take walks in the Weerribben-Wieden National Park, board boat trips or rent canoes for days of paddling along the local waterways. The gorgeous town of Giethoorn (aka the ‘Venice of the North’) is only about 10 minutes' drive away, and there's a pond a few minutes' walk from the pitches for swimming and fishing. With all these activities to fill your days, it's good that this site is a fine place to have some relaxed downtime in between outings. Each grass pitch has an electric connection, and there are various handy facilities on site including a washing machine, showers, toilets and picnic tables. A small play area and trampoline should help to keep the kids entertained – and if rain stops play, they can head inside to the recreation room, which has a TV, books, games and comfy seating. Barbecues are permitted here for those who'd like to try a bit of outdoor cooking; supplies can be picked up at the shops and supermarket in Blokzijl (five minutes away by bike), and the town also has restaurants and cafés.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nothing.

Disliked The picture on the Pitchup site does not reflect the reality of what we found.
Access is along a narrow road in need of some maintenance to a rather uninviting entrance to the site and the camping field was just grass in need of a cut. Nobody made any effort to greet us. We actually wondered if we were in the wrong location and tried searching the internet for information, which always led us back to where we were.
It is also a good walk in to the nearby town, which is nice to be fair.
An overnight site at best, which we had booked for four nights, not realising the effort required to reach entertainment and Giethoorn, which has four Motorhome/Camping sites to choose from and all within a short walk of the attraction. We decided just to move on and lose the full payment we had already paid through Pitchup, for more acceptable to us facilities for the same price per night.

From the manager: Dear Colin F.,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations.

We would like to clarify that the pictures on the Pitchup site do reflect the current state of our camping site. Of course, we understand that each guest’s perception can differ, and we respect your interpretation of the site’s appearance. As a small, family-run campsite, we value privacy and a relaxed atmosphere without strict rules, which many of our guests appreciate.

Regarding your arrival, it is common for guests to explore and find a suitable spot first. If the owners are not immediately visible, most visitors come to the front door afterward or simply give us a call—we’re always happy to assist. We apologize if this was not clear and if you felt uncertain upon arrival.

We appreciate your comments about the access road and entrance. While the road is narrow, it is monitored it to ensure it is safe and accessible, though it is not a new road for sure. Our grass field is kept natural to preserve the peaceful environment, and is regularly mown.

We’re glad you enjoyed the walk into town and appreciate your honest feedback about the location and nearby facilities. We understand that our site may not suit everyone’s preferences, especially for longer stays or those seeking more entertainment options nearby.

Thank you again for your review. We hope this clarifies some points and we are very sorry that our charming campsite was not to your liking.

Warm regards,
Paul de Boer

Liked Nvt

Disliked Met geen opvang. Moest zelf een plekje zoeken en de faciliteiten bekijken. Was er maar 1 nachtje, dus verder kan ik niet vertellen.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Geachte Sophie,

Bedankt voor uw beoordeling.
Wij vinden het jammer en vreemd dat wij elkaar niet hebben ontmoet, terwijl u daar wel behoefte aan had.
Normaliter melden onze nieuwe gasten zich altijd aan de voordeur van het woonhuis.
Hadden wij u daar aangetroffen dan hadden wij u zeker met alle liefde een plekje gewezen en u de faciliteiten laten zien. Als kleine camping hebben wij helaas geen receptie die 24/7 open is. En u had ons uiteraard ook altijd mogen bellen met dit verzoek. Wij bieden in ieder geval onze excuses aan voor uw minder fijne ervaring op onze camping.

Met hartelijke groeten,
VOF De Duin

Local attractions

Fishing and swimming in the on-site pond are both lovely activities – but what if it rains? Well, you’ll need to head to Forelwereld (15 minutes’ drive) for an unusual indoor trout fishing experience, or take your swimming togs along to the pool in Blokzijl (three minutes). There’s also an indoor/outdoor pool complex in Vollenhove (five minutes) and a recreational pool at Waterwyck (15 minutes) so water babies have plenty of choice. There are lots of great walking and bike paths nearby, so bring your boots and/or bikes, or hire e-bikes at one of the local hubs (the closest being in Blokzijl). The Weerribben-Wieden National Park, a couple of kilometres away, is the most popular local destination, with the lakes, canals, woods and reedbeds home to lots of wonderful wildlife. You can explore by bike or on foot, or hire boats, canoes or paddleboards to get around. For other days out, get along to the canals and bridges of Giethoorn (10 minutes) or see the colourful exotic plants and animals of Pantropica (15 minutes). The Hanseatic cities of Hasselt (20 minutes) and Zwolle (half an hour) could also be on the schedule.
