Drenthe has long been a popular destination for peace seekers and nature lovers. But also for families with young children, this province has surprisingly much to offer. No crowded amusement parks or long queues, but space, nature and true relaxation – for both parents and children.
🌳 Peace and nature – exactly what you are looking for
When you go on vacation as a family, you often look for something other than crowded tourist hotspots. In Drenthe you will find the tranquility of the countryside, vast forests, moors and safe cycling paths. You don’t have to keep a constant eye on your children here – there is literally room to breathe.
🐐 Child-friendly, but not over-stimulating
At Bungalowpark Boerhaarsveld, near Schoonloo, you will stay in quiet, green surroundings. There is a small playground, lots of grass to play on and two goats – every day a highlight for young children. No animation or noisy pools, but plenty to explore for curious toddlers and preschoolers.
🏡 Comfort for the whole family
The holiday homes at the park are privately owned and vary in style and size. Many houses have two to four bedrooms, private gardens and plenty of privacy. Some cottages have a hot tub or sauna – ideal for a relaxing evening when the children are asleep. A number of houses welcome pets, so the dog can come along, too.
🗺️ Everything close – without stress
A big advantage of Drenthe is its surveyability. Fun outings like the Ellert and Brammert open-air museum, the Boomkroonpad or a swimming lake are all within 15 to 30 minutes. No long drives or crowded parking lots – you’ll be back for the afternoon nap in no time.
💡 Tips for a successful family vacation
Book early – the park is especially popular during school vacations. You can stay for as little as two nights. Choose a holiday home that suits your family: with enclosed garden, extra bedrooms or wellness facilities.
A family vacation in Drenthe means no rush, no fuss, but real togetherness. In nature. With each other. And completely at your own pace.
