Camping Eefting

Joure (10 minutes’ drive) is a handy place to have nearby – especially if you have kids to entertain. Speelbos Joure and the subtropical pool at Swimfun are both great family-friendly options in all weathers. Ballorig Heerenveen (15 minutes) and Trampolinepark Jumpstyle Drachten (25 minutes) are also good rainy-day choices, and there are fun animal encounters at Boer Bart play farm (10 minutes) and Pantropica (25 minutes), full of exotic flora and fauna. With two national parks nearby, there’s also the chance of spotting some wildlife while you’re out walking or cycling. Head to Drents-Friese Wold National Park to explore heaths, forests and drifting sands, or try Weerribben-Wieden National Park for lakes, canals and reed beds. Both are about 40 minutes’ drive away. Sneak a bit of history into the schedule with a trip to Sneek (20 minutes), an attractive Hanseatic town with some fabulous architecture like the Waterpoort, a good array of watersports to try and some great kid-friendly museums: the National Model Railway Museum and Frisian Maritime Museum.
