Camping De Bergboer

The site is in natural surrounds made up of heathlands, sand rifts and woods, so it’s fab for an outdoorsy hol. Amble around the Arboretum Poort Bulten (five minutes’ drive), wander the Het Lutterzand nature reserve (10 minutes) or go birdwatching at De Oelemars (15 minutes). You could also get a glimpse of the traditional villages of De Lutte, Overdinkel and Glane (20 minutes or less), all of which are centred around a church as is typical of the area. Music, sports and festive celebrations are regularly organised in each of these settlements – ask at the park to see if there’s an occasion coinciding with your hol. Around the village are several fantastically preserved cultural heritage sites, including the Brickworks the Werklust stone factory, the old Staringgroeve park and the historical buildings at Erve Kraesgenberg (all within 15 minutes). More culture is to be had at the open-air Brilmansdennen theatre (10 minutes) and in the thermal brine and sulphur spa town of Bad Bentheim (15 minutes), home to a sand quarry and a handsome castle with a public museum.
