Glamping in the Netherlands

Glamping is camping without compromising on comfort. No air mattresses or shared showers, but spacious tents, wooden lodges, or yurts with a real bed, private bathroom facilities, and often even a kitchen and porch. The word “glamping” is a combination of “glamorous” and “camping”—and that’s exactly what it is. What makes glamping so popular in the Netherlands is its versatility. You can enjoy the tranquility of the countryside or the vibrancy of the coast, while sleeping in accommodations that feel like a boutique hotel—but right in the heart of nature.

A major advantage is that many glamping sites are small-scale and tastefully decorated. They often cater to families, couples, or nature lovers looking for something special. Think of a safaritent overlooking a meadow full of sheep, a yurt tucked away in the woods, or a glamping lodge near a nature reserve. And the stays are growing rapidly. These days, you can rent a luxury tent or yurt in virtually every province in the Netherlands. The rise of sustainable holidays and the desire for “slow travel” are making glamping more relevant than ever.

When you choose glamping in the Netherlands, you’re choosing convenience and ambiance. You’ll stay in fully furnished accommodations such as safaritents, lodge tents, or canvas suites. Think comfortable beds, a cozy interior, often a porch, and sometimes even private bathrooms. Glamping is ideal for a weekend getaway or a longer holiday, without the hassle of bringing your own camping gear.

From glamping in the Veluwe to the dunes of Zeeland: the Netherlands offers plenty of options for a luxury camping experience. No matter your destination, the level of comfort remains high—but the atmosphere and surroundings vary by region.

Along the coastline, glamping at the beach is hugely popular in the Netherlands. In Zeeland and North Holland, you’ll find countless safaritent campsites and beach lodges within walking distance of the beach.

Traveling with your four-legged friend? There are also plenty of dog-friendly glamping sites in the Netherlands, often with fenced-in patios or nearby walking trails. Many campsites welcome dogs in specific tents or lodges—so no one has to stay home.

And if you’re looking for peace and romance, choose a glamping spot with fewer distractions. Think of a tent for two overlooking a lake, a wood-burning stove, and a hammock on the terrace. Ideal for a romantic weekend getaway, without the hustle and bustle of a vacation park.

There’s a perfect spot for every preference. Whether you prefer small-scale glamping in a wooded area or a luxury tent at an active family campground, the stays available in the Netherlands are surprisingly wide.

The range of glamping options in the Netherlands is vast, which can make it difficult to find the right spot. Where do you start?

First, consider the region: do you want to go to the coast, the woods, a rural area, or somewhere close to a city? Based on that, you can narrow down your options. Next, consider the type of accommodation. Will you go for a classic safaritent, a wooden lodge, or perhaps a yurt?

Next, consider the amenities. Some glamping sites are fully self-catering, while others offer breakfast or even have a restaurant on-site. For families, amenities like a swimming pool or entertainment are appealing, while couples might value peace and privacy more.

Finally, consider the size of the accommodation. Do you want a single space with an open living area or separate sleeping quarters? And how important are things like a private shower, heating, or an outdoor kitchen?
