Camping Dal van de Mosbeek

Start stays in the nearby art town Ootmarsum (10 minutes’ drive), where there are galleries and museums to view, an open-air museum to be explored, and an observatory where turning gazes to the stars is encouraged. A little further afield, trips to Oldenzaal and Germany’s Nordhorn (both within 25 minutes) are recommended for the former’s shopping pedigree and the latter’s canals and zoo, and history-filled days can be spent 40 minutes from base in Bad Blentheim. Peaceful countryside days can be had five minutes away at de Manderveense Aardbei (if picking berries for healthy desserts appeals), or at de Broekbeke fishing ponds (10 minutes) if an even more soothing day fits the bill. Prefer to get adrenaline spiking? It’s around 40 minutes to the rides at Slagharen and Hellendoorn theme parks.
