About this campspace

Just have the feeling that you are in France and that it is so close. Camping in a beautiful spot in the fruit orchard. There is also room for a van. Enjoy the panoramic view with lambs, cows and horses. Spotting the lighthouses of the Wadden Islands in the evening, swimming in the Elfstedenvaart, beautiful sunrise/sunset. Self-reliance, natural location, simple facilities, adventurous, small-scale but spacious. We are not a real campsite. You can choose a spot yourself upon arrival. Sometimes we are there to receive you, sometimes you will have to fend for yourself. The chickens and cat Mormel will come to welcome you. We like to let more people enjoy our beautiful place located on the Elfstedenvaart between Harlingen and Leeuwarden. Ideal base for making all kinds of excursions from here. Depending on the period, fruit, vegetables and/or herbs are for sale, with a money box next to it. In Franeker there are supermarkets, pastry shops, butchers, nice fashion shops. A small market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Don't forget to visit the world famous Planetarium.
10 minutes from Harlingen, 20 minutes to Leeuwarden. If you are on your way to one of the Wadden Islands, it is an ideal stop to spend the night 1 day in advance.

Perfect for...
