What a fabulous Friesland location – Recreatiepark De Bosrand is a peaceful park in the Gasterland area, on the edge of a forest and 2.5 kilometres from the shoreline of the IJsselmeer. This site, about five minutes’ drive/cycle from Oudemirdum, makes an excellent base for a holiday spent touring this area, taking in the lakes, canals and other lovely landscapes. Cycling is often the best way to get around, and that’s made even easier with bike hire available on site. Golf, horse riding, paddleboarding and boating are also available nearby, and there are plenty of historic and family attractions around to fill your days with, too – Sybrandy's Speelpark is a favourite with the kids, and you can easily visit nearby towns like Sneek, Joure and Sloten. Life on site is fairly simple – this is a place designed for relaxation rather than somewhere with lots of lively entertainments. Facilities include toilets, showers, wifi, a washing-up area, a chemical disposal point and a launderette. Oudemirdum is a small town but it's big enough to host a small supermarket and a couple of restaurants. Dogs are welcome on site.

Local attractions

Being so close to the IJsselmeer, it has to be a trip to the coast first surely. Start with the 15-minute cycle to 't Mirnser Klif beach, coming back via the Luchtwachttoren observation tower for sweeping views over the sea and the rest of the landscape. For active seaside days, sign up for windsurfing or kitesurfing lessons at KBC Holland (10 minutes’ drive). Elsewhere around the local area you could take the kids for a fun day out at Sybrandy's Speelpark (five minutes’ drive/10 minutes’ cycle), play a round at Golfclub Gaasterland (five minutes’ drive) or see some classic Dutch design at De Jager windmill (15 minutes). As for the local towns, there are several worth visiting. Joure (half an hour) has a puzzle museum and the Swimfun aquapark, while Sloten (15 minutes) and Sneek (half an hour) – two of Friesland’s ’Eleven Cities’ – are packed with historic buildings and attractions. Traffic-free Giethoorn (45 minutes) is a lovely place for a quiet walk alongside the canals or a boat trip (either taking a cruise or hiring your own craft).
