About this campspace

Enjoy the wide view with lambs and cows 100 meters away, spot the lighthouses of the Wadden Islands in the evening, swim in the Elfstedenvaart, beautiful sunrise / sunset. Natural location, simple facilities, small-scale but spacious.
We like to let more people enjoy our beautiful place located on the Elfstedenvaart between Harlingen and Leeuwarden. An ideal base for making all kinds of trips from here. We are not a real campsite. You can choose a spot upon arrival. The chickens and cat Mormel will welcome you. You can come camping completely basic; with your own tent, no hot water and no electricity to a furnished canvas tent with made beds. All in a beautiful spot in the fruit orchard. There is also room for a small bus camper. Depending on the period, fruit, vegetables and/or herbs are for sale, with a cash box next to it. In Franeker there are supermarkets, (pastry) bakers, 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...

Nature lovers, hikers, cyclists, adventurers

Wonderfully quiet place in a beautiful orchard. The shower and toilets are reminiscent of tree houses, and made for an adventurous feeling! The picnic tables were very nice, as was the shelter.

Lovely place. Feels nice, nice place with a view of sheep/cows and fruit trees. Lots of space and tranquility. We felt very comfortable.

How was the contact with the host?
A very nice woman, in four a chat and tips, but also gives you peace of mind. We also got vegetables from the vegetable garden.

Tips for new guests?
Bring your bike. Nice base to explore the area. To the mudflats, through the polders, between the sheep, to Franeker.

Wonderfully quiet place with a beautiful view. Imagine yourself in Bali when you go to the toilet and shower via the walkway. You can take a hot shower for €2 each time. Sweet and nice owners.

How was the contact with the host?
Warm and nice!

Tips for new guests?
Don't put your camper on the far left of the field, I had a hard time getting out. Hard in, hard out ;)
You can use the canoe.
