Wodan, cool bus in the woods

Papenvoort, Drenthe, Netherlands #s008185

About this campspace

A completely refurbished 1952 Dodge that once served with the Sneker fire brigade was renovated down to the last detail.
This season he will be at the oldest nature camping site in Drenthe. In the forest with plenty of space and a Pingo lake just a stone's throw away.
residents who want something different and want to discover the Northern Netherlands from an attractive, friendly camping site. Lighting fires in the evening, free bird concert in the morning.

Nature lovers appreciate this place. And certainly also the Indian sit-down meal and wood-fired pizzas that can be enjoyed in season.
Then the camper itself, an experience in itself. All kinds of doors can be opened as a gift, resulting in a real sunny bedroom (with a double bed) experience. You can create a 3rd sleeping place by converting the train seat.
Open the back doors and you have your own outdoor kitchen with 2 gas burners and you can get started with a whole arsenal of pans, colander and percolator. Behind one of the side doors, voilà, a nice size refrigerator. And inside there is a kitchen bar, with a sink and cold running water and everything you need to make a cup of tea or coffee.
Picnic bench, fire pit, hammock and chairs are all yours.

Perfect for...

Nature lovers, outdoor people, who enjoy a special stay, want to catch their breath and discover Drenthe
