What characterises the campsites in Drenthe?

The best choice depends on who you travel with. Families with children do well at a site with a pool, entertainment and a safe play area; those seeking quiet should pick a smaller site or a spot away from the crowds. With a dog, it pays to check the pet policy first.

Amenities: what to look out for

The comfort of your holiday in Drenthe stands or falls with the amenities. Check the sanitary facilities and hot showers, Wi-Fi, a restaurant or snack bar and a small shop; travelling with children, a paddling pool, playground and entertainment weigh heavily. It's all on each campsite's detail page.

Also note the pitch type. A comfort pitch with private sanitary facilities and a water connection costs more but adds convenience; a simple nature pitch is cheaper and quieter. Travelling by motorhome, check for a service point and sufficient electricity (amperage).
