Mini Camping Twekkelo

Plenty of nearby attractions are entirely within walking or cycling distance: the site is a kilometre and a half from the stunning Het Stroot estate, a two-minute walk from the picking garden and rail-bike rest point at Het Plukreef, half a kilometre from a paintball arena, and just under a kilometre from the kid-friendly rides at Attractiepark de Waarbeek. Stays hereabouts certainly ought to include explores of the two oh-so-handily located cities of Hengelo and Enschede too. Start with Hengelo (five minutes’ drive) for its museums, cinema and Kasteel Twickel, then move on to Enschede and its art gallery, museums, casino, partially submerged clock tower, and Grolsch brewery. The site’s also just 15 minutes from the German border, so make the most of that Schengen Area open travel by crossing over into Deutschland on trips to Nordhorn (35 minutes), Ahaus (30 minutes), Gronau (25 minutes) and the famed thermal spa town of Bad Bentheim (35 minutes). For more gently active stays closer to base, it’s 10 minutes from base to the nearest golf course, and 15 minutes to swimming, surfing and hiking at Recreatiepark Het Rutbeek.
