Veluwecamping 't Schinkel

In under 45 minutes by car you can reach the Apenheul monkey park, the Julianatoren amusement park, Royal Burgers' Zoo and Dolfinarium, or in even less time you can be right in the middle of either of the site's neighbouring national parks for mountain biking, horse riding, cycling and nature spotting. The Hoge Veluwe National Park is also home to the Museonder, an underground museum inside the visitors' centre, and the Kröller-Müller, the acclaimed art museum with the second biggest collection of Van Gogh paintings in the world (the biggest of all is of course at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam). If your boots are made for walking, take one of the marked routes around the park, or pick up a guide from the visitor centre to take one of the four themed routes. Guided nature walks are available from the centre too if you book well in advance. The Netherlands Open Air Museum is 25 minutes' drive away at Arnhem.
