Hey there, fellow parents! If you’ve got young kids, you’ll totally get what I’m saying: your vacation dreams and needs take a massive turn once those little munchkins enter your life. Remember the days when the thought of a cookie-cutter holiday home in a field full of other tourists somewhere along a Spanish coast made you shudder? Well, those days are long gone. Now, the convenience of a holiday home seems like a blessing because, let’s be real, do you honestly think all the stuff we lug around would fit in a tiny tent? Or fancy moving from one place to another with a stroller, high chair, a mountain of diapers, and who knows what else in tow? And staying in a hotel room while the kiddos sleep right there with you? Forget about it. Booking two separate rooms? Nah, too pricey. The perfect solution to ditch all that vacation stress is glamping!
While the thought of a regular campsite with an animation team might still send a slight shiver down your spine, a glamping spot feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s original, fun for both kids and parents, and comes with all the creature comforts you could wish for. So, let me share with you some of the coolest glamping spots for kids right here in the Netherlands:
1. Camping de Koeksebelt
Ever dreamt of sleeping in a treehouse as a kid? At Camping de Koeksebelt, near Avonturenpark Hellendoorn by the Vecht river, this dream can become a reality. Perched 3 meters off the ground, the unique treehouse can accommodate 4 guests. While you’re chilling in the hammock enjoying the view from the sun-drenched terrace, the kids can have a blast in the open-air pool, playing football, bouncing on the air trampoline, or making a splash with the aquajump. There’s even a Canadian canoe at your disposal. And that’s just for starters.
2. Vakantiepark Beekse Bergen
Imagine a super luxurious, fully equipped safari tent for 6, right by the water and the woods. The Big Five Safari Tent, complete with a veranda and sun loungers, truly brings glamour to camping. But the real cherry on top? Free and unlimited access to 7 attractions, including Safaripark and Speelland Beekse Bergen.
3. FarmCamps Breehees
Meet farmer Sjef, farmer’s wife Maria, and their family running this horse boarding and dairy farm in Brabant. Kids get to care for and cuddle animals like the pigs Geer & Goor, and they can even earn a little farmer’s helper diploma. You can play farmer’s golf, zip down the cable slide across the farmyard, and enjoy loads of other fun activities. Oh, and the rugged yet cozy safari tent for 4-6 people (50 m2) promises a genuine glamping experience. You don’t need to bring anything. You can even have breakfast packages, farm grocery boxes, or BBQ packs delivered right to your tent.
4. Molecaten Park Hoogduin
This beach house is a dream for true design aficionados and beach lovers. With an indoor playground, air trampoline, go-karts, and ‘Fun & Beach Sports’ like blowkarting, you’ll never run out of things to do. The designer beach house, complete with a veranda for up to 6 guests, offers panoramic sea views.
5. Veluwecamping De Pampel
Sleeping in a hollow log? Talk about an experience! The log can fit 2 adults and 2 kids on one bed. At the heated SaniPlaza, you can use the sanitary facilities and shower under a tree in the Spetterbos. During peak season, you can book breakfast and enjoy the animation program.
Discover these and many other fantastic glamping spots for kids at Glampings. Trust me, it’s a game-changer for family vacations. Happy glamping!
