Vodatent at Camping Emmen

If you’re on a family foray to South Drenthe, take the kids along to the many playgrounds and indoor play areas in the region, like the Plopsa Indoor Coevorden (10 minutes’ drive), or wander around the Wildlands adventure zoo while sighting animals settled in themed sections designed to mimic their natural habitats (20 minutes). When you’re after something a little more active, get the whole clan together for a cycle ride along a section of the 240-kilometre Saxony bike route, which runs directly past Camping Emmen and wends its way through stunning South Drenthe scenery. Hikers could head off on ambles down the Pieterpad meanwhile, a path stretching from the far north of the Netherlands to the far south. Fancy flitting around a forested area? Escape to Emmerdennen and bound beneath the boughs of the trees or learn about the Netherlands’ wartime history at the highly-rated Ergens in Nederland 1939-1945 museum (both 25 minutes’ drive).
