Mini Camping De Hooiberg

Once you’ve made pals with the cows at the farm, turn attentions to their rather more exotic cousins at Zoo Veldhoven (20 minutes’ drive) or Beekse Bergen safari park (25 minutes), where more than a thousand creatures live in the largest wildlife park in all of the Benelux countries. Keen to keep the calories burning so you can feast on more cheese? Take to the trees at Klimrijk Brabant (20 minutes), don your ski gear to hit the indoor slopes of Montana Snow Centre (25 minutes) or sign up for waterskiing and wakeboarding at Beach Park Aquabest (half an hour). There are lots of bike-riding opportunities too: either in the woods along the Belgian border or on the mountain bike trails outside the site. Museum-wandering also counts on that front too, you know, so you may like to sort urban outings to the Philips museum in Eindhoven (half an hour) or arty strolls around the collections in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (45 minutes), home to the Noordbrabants museum and Jheronimus Bosch art centre.
