  • Family-friendly site with a beach on lake Zuidlaardermeer
  • A 25-minute drive from the centre of Groningen; 35 minutes from Assen
  • Indoor swimming pool, beach club, marina and cycle hire on site
Young, old, furry – it doesn’t matter when you grab a spot at Camping Meerwijck, a family-friendly site that welcomes all ages and their furry friends. On the shores of lake Zuidlaardermeer, 25 minutes’ drive away from the North Netherlands city of Groningen, it’s got a reel of facilities that should appeal to all… First on the list should be the sandy beach alongside the lake; second, perhaps the heated indoor swimming pool. There’s a beach club for meals overlooking the blue. The whole family can go fishing directly from the site (a sunset session maybe?) or hire an E-bicycle to pedal around the shore. Take a boat trip over the lake or take it all in on foot if you like to stroll and stroll. The local area has got plenty to please too, from forests, fens and heathland to pretty villages and cities with historical sites and many gorgeous terraces for a drink or coffee (a Dutch iced coffee, perhaps?). Camping Meerwijck is a 25-minute drive from the centre of Groningen (also accessible by bicycle, train or boat), where there are long shopping streets and attractions like the canalside Groninger Museum. Assen is a 35-minute drive away, with a tea museum and the 1854 Drents Museum displaying Van Gogh artworks.

Local attractions

Budding historian or wildlife watcher, hiker or cyclist, outdoorsy or not, there’s plenty to see out and around Camping Meerwijck. Zuidlaren (15 minutes’ drive) is a nice starting point, with a windmill museum and the family-friendly Sprookjeshof Zuidlaren (10 minutes) attraction with indoor play areas, slides and a toboggan run. For a quick trip before lunch or dinner, Heemtuin Muntendam (15 minutes) has splendid boardwalks over local ponds and a little pitstop where you could treat the kids to pastries. Kids should also like ogling at the creepy crawlies at DoeZoo Insektenwereld (45 minutes) and the bigger creatures at animal parks like Wildlands (50 minutes). There are lots of amusement parks within driving distance, like Nienoord (40 minutes), which has a petting zoo and outdoor activities on the grounds of a historic mansion. For a bit of history, Bourtange (50 minutes) has a star-shaped fort built in 1593. Orvelte (50 minutes) is also full of interesting bits, almost like a living museum, as it has a sawmill, wooden shoemaker and blacksmith. Up north are the East Frisian islands too. Borkum, the largest of them all and home to a seal colony and gorgeous dunes, is accessible by a ferry from Eemshaven (40 minutes’ drive and an hour and 15 minutes’ ferry).
