  • Kid-friendly woodland site less than half an hour's drive from Utrecht
  • A short drive from culture and nature sites like estates and castles
  • Bicycle hire on site; seasonal heated outdoor pool with slides
If you like the outdoors, nature and visiting cultural sites like castles and estates, take up your rightful place in the playfully laid out pitches at RCN Vakantiepark Het Grote Bos in Doorn. Based in Het Grote Bos, the pitches at this site are spacious enough that you'll have lots of privacy while still being able to meet other guests. This is a stunning spot for outdoor holidays… You might not think of hills when you think of the Netherlands, famed for its flat lands, but RCN Vakantiepark Het Grote Bos is a scenic and green woodland park set among the forests, moorlands and large estates of the Utrecht Hill Ridge. Tackle the ridge on foot or by bike; the site hires out commuter bikes, mountain bikes and electric bikes so that guests can get out into the sandhill surroundings. You could even pedal along to Utrecht, which is 16 kilometres away from the site along the (mainly flat) Arnhemse Bovenweg. This is also a spectacular site for families, as during high season, there is a heated outdoor pool with spectacular slides and a separate paddling pool with stacks of water toys. Kids can let off steam in the spacious sandy playground with a sandpit, climbing frame and tyre swing. There are loads of outdoor sports on site too, including miniature golf, bowling, tennis and BMXing on the purpose-built track. Football lessons are available, and the site also has a fossil field, nature pond and a survival course. Even fussy guests should be satisfied with the dining options: a restaurant and snack bar are open seven days per week in school holidays. There's a supermarket open during peak season, and freshly baked bread is available every morning.

What customers say

Spacious, neat woodland site with great staff. Enjoyed the pool with slides, kids' activities, and good pitches. Ideal for exploring. Showers had timed access, some toilets needed a bit more attention.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Alles!
Sanitair wordt dagelijks gepoetst, personeel heel vriendelijk. Ook de andere camping gasten waren aangenaam. Kinderen hebben zich enorm geamuseerd. Dus moederhart heel blij 😉

Disliked Er werd online vermeld dat het buitenzwembad was verwarmd. Misschien vermelden dat dit dan door de zon moet gebeuren. Want het was echt ijskoud 😅

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked The natural spaces were beautiful, it felt as though they had kept as much of the natural landscape as possible. Our pitch was very generous, with plenty of space between our neighbours.
The weather was very warm and the pool was perfect for everyone, we especially loved the built in seat in the toddler pool.
It was the perfect spot to take our bikes with plenty to routes to take within and outside the site.
This was our first campervan trip abroad and it was the perfect place to start, everyone was so friendly and helpful it made for the perfect holiday.

Liked Loved the setting

Facilities were very good and location worked well for us

Disliked We have 3 dogs at home so are people that love dogs. Some people allow dogs to bark constantly which is not enjoyable early in the mornings or when you are enjoying the sunshine!
