Outdoor swimming pool

  • Spacious Gelderland site with access into Ermelosche Heide forest
  • Walibi Holland and Apeldoorn attractions within a half-hour drive
  • Indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, restaurant and kids' activities
Time to unwind? How about a spacious site in a nature reserve, where you can get straight out onto walking and bike trails and explore to your heart’s content before coming home to cool off with a swim? If all that sounds promising, then take a look at Recreatiepark de Paalberg, a Gelderland site surrounded by the forests of the Veluwe. From here you can stroll straight out into nearly a thousand acres of the Ermelosche Heide forest, following hiking trails of various lengths or finding bike trails to take you out through the forest and across the heaths. In fact there are many ways to get a good dose of fresh air around here – both the adventure trails of Klimbos Ermelo and the gentle grazing space of Ermelo sheepfold are within easy walking distance, and the banks of the Veluwerandmeren are about half an hour away by bike for beach time and water-based activities. When you’re not out and about, there are active options on site too, including both indoor and outdoor swimming pools (with a kids’ pool and waterslide for extra fun), a tennis court, a playground and a summer programme of kids’ activities. There’s also a sauna where you can soothe aching muscles after a long walk or bike ride. Barbecues and campfires are both permitted here, and there’s a handy food shop on site where you can pick up many of the bits you’ll need (and a bigger supermarket is 10 minutes’ cycle away in Ermelo). The site also has a snack bar and a restaurant/bar for the times when you’d rather someone else did the cooking.

Forest 2 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked Pools, the peaceful setting, nice lodges.

Disliked It seemed that swimming was included when booking, but when we checked in, we had to pay for it. Also the listing said the restaurant would be open, but when we arrived it was only open a few days a week. These could have been better explained beforehand. Wasn't too pleased to have to pay for bedding rather than bring our own, plus the bedding was not put on and we had to do it ourselves anyway. Has to pay a standard cleaning fee, but when we arrived there was rubbish in the bins.

Отличный вариант для недельного отдыха.

Forest 2 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked Удобное расположение в лесу, хорошая мебель в домике, полностью оборудованная кухня, быстрый WIFI, наличие бассейна и спортивных площадок (теннисный корт, футбольное и баскетбольное поле) на территории. Дружелюбный персонал на рецепции. Хорошая парковка в тени деревьев.

Disliked В домике нет зеркала, есть одно маленькое только в туалете. В душевой нет крючков, повесить халат или полотенце некуда. В санузле нет розетки, нет полочки для зубных щёток. Постельное бельё застиранное и с пятнами.

Al met al een zeer mooie en fijne plek om door te brengen

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Great (large) site, friendly & accommodating reception staff, stayed in the 1st week of April which was our (UK) school holidays but not in Netherlands. This meant we pretty much had the pool & slide to ourselves both days. The site was therefore very quiet which suited us. Bike hire available which we used. Spacious level pitches. Pizzas in the restaurant & staff there were also good. LOTS of playgrounds dotted around the site! Campervan / motorhome pitches close to the shower block (clean & individual portaloo type pods). Great really overall.

Disliked All printed info is in Dutch & Need to “translate” all info from the site “app” as no option to select English. Not the end of the world though. It is their country after all.

Washing machines a bit pricey at €5.50 per wash and €5.50 per dry. Also ensure you follow the instructions and load / select the program first before tapping your card or you’ll receive an extra payment as we did.

“Camperclean” (€2.50) system is a good idea for the black waste tank however it didn’t clean it 100% for us. could be down to user error though.

Stayed an extra week!

Liked The sites space and privacy. Backs straight into amazing woods all around, perfect for bringing our 2 dogs for daily roaming.
Bonus if use of all facilities including pool and sauna.

Local attractions

Getting out for a walk is a great way to get a good dose of fresh air – but if you (or the kids) fancy a different activity, you can wander over to Klimbos Ermelo (five minutes' walk) for adventures on the treetop trails and ziplines. There are also outdoor and indoor playgrounds, laser games and a trampoline park at Boerderij-Pret (10 minutes’ drive). If you like your days out to have a bit of a historical/cultural vibe, nearby attractions like Museum Het Pakhuis (five minutes), Museumboerderij Mariahoeve (10 minutes) and Kasteel Staverden (10 minutes) may well fit the bill. You could also spend the day in Harderwijk (15 minutes), visiting the Foundation City Museum and Marius van Dokkum Museum, or take in the Dutch Baroque architecture and formal gardens of Palace Het Loo (25 minutes). Kids not into such things? Set your sights on a day at Walibi Holland or animal encounters at Apenheul instead (both 25 minutes).
