Lovely camping with our van in Jan's garden.
This garden is a real gem with many beautiful flowers and shrubs, nice nooks and crannies, hammocks and places to sit. Clean toilets and a good basic facility to take a hot shower.
Our daughter had a great time on the trampoline and on the swings.
It's nice that you can have a coffee, read a book or sit comfortably in the covered Huijskamer in the garden.
So highly recommended!

Jan is a hospitable person with a lot of tips about the region.

We stayed in the retro Caravan- was awesome! Perfect size bed and really neat and clean. Cute sitting area and so much much space to store your things. The whole caravan has such a cool vibe. You have a cooler inside to store your drinks/food.
The veranda to the caravan was where we cooked, had our meals and sat to relax having the whole view of the garden and all the different birds serenading you.
Even if was only 2 days was good to recharge been in nature.
End up the night with a fire- which we got wood from Jan for small price.
Family dog its super sweet!.

What a fun creative place this was. Last Easter we stayed here with our camper van for two nights. A lovely garden with beautiful cozy pitches, lots of chill spots in sun or shade. For wetter weather there is a shelter that feels like a living room and where we could also make a cup of coffee, use a refrigerator and where children can also play indoors. We enjoyed!
How was the contact with the host?
The welcome was very warm. Jan showed us around his domain, which he built all by himself. Cozy, basic and with love: Enthusiasm radiates.
Tips for new guests?
De Peel is nearby where you can go for a lovely walk, but also from the Meterik you can enjoy a nice walk through the countryside, along ditches to Horst, or to the Schadijkse bos.
We can warmly recommend this place.

Campspace Hartekind is something very special. A green patch of earth, creatively and comfortably designed. In good weather, you could stay here forever!
Unfortunately we weren't so lucky with the weather, but I hope we'll be back!
The sanitary facilities are simple, but perfectly adequate. Our pitch on a meadow without neighbors was beautiful, the birds chirped all day and the baby cats came to visit us in the evening :)
How was the contact with the host?
Jan is a very open, friendly host. He showed us our place as soon as we arrived, as well as the entire area, toilets and showers. On the second evening we bought a wheelbarrow full of wood from him for a nice evening campfire.

If you are looking for an enchanted place away from the marked campsites and pitches and do not value luxury but rather untouched nature, this is the place for you!

Simplicity is good for people, the green untouched nature as you describe in combination with a creative design of a number of facilities and the environment does the rest ... you hit the nail on the head ... campers that appreciate this are in the right place here. ....and yes...as soon as the sun shows itself again..we will probably have a nice spot for you again....who knows, see you soon...thanks for your message

Hello brother and sister. You have "dared" to visit our "spot" in late autumn. Good to hear you gave birth. Perhaps this joint outing tastes like more in the future... thank you also for the review.

Last weekend we stayed at Jan and Thea's beautiful campspace. They have a really nice spot in North Limburg. We set up our trailer tent under a beautiful tree and could enjoy the birds and squirrels in the garden. When it rains, you can sit comfortably under a large shelter. There are books and magazines and you can make coffee and tea. This campspace has two toilets and a simple (camping) shower; fine for a weekend. You can enjoy walking and cycling in the area, so it's really an ideal base!
How was the contact with the host?
The contact with Jan was quick and smooth. We immediately received some nice hiking tips, when we told them that we are avid hikers. Also during the stay the contact was very easy and nice. I can heartily recommend Jan and Thea as hosts!

Again a nice place to get away from it all. A large beautiful garden with sufficient privacy and everything you could wish for for simple camping. Including a campfire place and spacious roof, furnished as a cozy living room, ideal for just relaxing or for emergencies in case of bad weather.
After a short tour by host Jan, we got some tips about the area. Where for a nature lover like me there is plenty to do. Because although the national parks such as the Groote Peel and the Maasduinen are relatively close by, it is already nice to be closer to nature. For example, I really enjoyed a lovely walk through the Schadijkse forests, less than 3 km from the Campspace. A beautiful varied landscape with both forests and heathland, where, among other things, the sheep graze around freely, and I was lucky enough to spot big game… yes, a field mouse :slightly_smiling_face: In these same forests there are also 2 mountain bike routes, here I am myself unfortunately did not arrive.
Regarding spotting big game, I had more luck with my walk through nature reserve De Mariapeel, although I was surprised by the many closed hiking trails due to the breeding season (keep this in mind from March 15 to July 15), you can still enjoy fantastic walks here. And the party was complete when for the first time in my life in the Netherlands (as far as I can remember) I was allowed to spot a deer with a young in the wild, very magical. A little later I was also surprised with 3 other (quite young) deer! As well as that I was surprised by the hospitality of the staff of one of the terraces in Griendtsveen. Where I made a stopover, they very kindly offered me a lift because of the bad weather. By the way, kindly declined, because a little rain wouldn't hurt me. In short, I enjoyed myself again.
