Five advantages of glamping with children

01

Our campsites are child-friendly, that's what we have selected them for. We have campsites for young children, but also for teenagers! So there is something for everyone and each campsite has its own advantages and facilities.

02

Your holiday starts as soon as you arrive, as a fully equipped Villatent is waiting for you there.

There are often several Villa tents together, so there are always other children around. In any case, when choosing our campsite we take into account the presence of Dutch people, so children can make friends quickly.

Camping is the proof that children prefer to be outside all day. Running around outside all day, playing games and having water fights. And all that fresh outdoor air... it makes for great sleep!
