Bring your horse, bring your dog, bring your kids… or just bring yourself. Whoever’s in your travelling pack, you’ll be most welcome at Dekema Equestrian Camping, in the Friesland countryside a couple of kilometres from the small town of Gorredijk.
As the name suggests, this is a site that’s well geared up for horse owners, who can book stabling and spend their break trotting along local rural pathways. No horse? No problem – there are also some lovely walking and cycling routes in the surrounding area, including the long-distance Turf Route, which passes through Gorredijk.
For other days out nearby you might head to Heerenveen or Joure for a bit of town time, or check out water-based activities in the landscapes of the Frisian Lakes or Drents-Friese Wold National Park.
Back at base, you’ll be staying on simple pitches at a small site with lovely views over the neighbouring fields and pastures – just the place for some rural downtime. You’ll have access to toilets, showers, a wifi service and picnic tables, plus a covered seating area where you can seek shelter from the weather on damp days.

Local attractions
Gorredijk (five minutes’ drive/ 10 minutes’ cycle) is your nearest source of shops and places to eat, and it’s also a lovely place to spend a bit of time. Fashionistas may like to hit the clothes stores at Rinsma Modeplein, while outdoor types take a walk along the canal path and culture lovers find out what’s on at the cinema and theatre in De Skans arts centre.
A couple of other local towns worth visiting are Heerenveen (15 minutes’ drive), home to the Thialf stadium and a handful of museums, and Joure (20 minutes), which has a puzzle museum and the Swimfun pool complex.
Sticking to outdoor activities, there are canoes to hire in the Drents-Friese Wold National Park (20 minutes) and some nice walks, bike rides and boat trips around the Frisian Lakes – the Tjeukemeer is probably the closest lake, at 25 minutes’ drive. Daredevils in search of more adventure can instead get up into the trees at Klimbos Overijssel (half an hour).
