Camping Alkenhaer lies on the border of Friesland and Drenthe in the vicinity of Appelscha. You can camp here in peace and quiet in a beautiful natural area. Not far from the campsite are the National Parks Drents-Friese Wold and Fochteloërveen. Guests mainly come here to enjoy the peace and quiet, the space and the convivial atmosphere.

A spacious and clean campsite

The entire campsite makes a quiet, clean and spacious impression. The camping pitches are also spacious and well maintained. They have a slightly quirky and natural design and therefore vary in size and location. The campsite attracts many families with children, but also senior guests. The latter visit the campsite predominantly in the early and late seasons.

Lovely swimming pool

Camping Alkenhaer has a lovely swimming pool as well as a safe toddler and children's pool, of course. You can also go for a swim in the outdoor pool Laco Bosbad in Appelscha, located within walking distance of the campsite.

Kids reign supreme

Camping Alkenhaer is a child-friendly campsite. Children can climb on the playground equipment, enjoy a game of soccer, play to their heart's content or go swimming. During school holidays the entertainment team organises great activities a few times per day. 

In the afternoons and early evenings sports or play activities are organised, like baking cookies, children's theatre or children's disco. In the evenings fun and sporty activities are organised for children from the age of eight and their parents, such as 'klootschieten' (ball throwing game), bingo and karaoke.

Special kids menus

The Boshuis is the real heart of the campsite. This restaurant has a number of menus and delicious à-la-carte dishes. There are special kids menus with a surprise for children.

Akelige camping.
Auto geparkeerd naast een grasveld waar gevoetbald werd, ergens anders parkeren kon ook niet meer. Veel overlast in de avond. Hier wordt niets van gezegd. Beetje tokkie publiek. Verder was er weinig te doen.

Mooie omgeving en dan hebben we alles wel gezegd. Op de receptie was het erg lang wachten, er liepen daar ook nog 2 grote herdershonden los! (poep lag op het pad!) De eigenaresse was kort van stof en bij het verlaten van de camping kon er amper een goedendag af. Internet verbinding hadden we niet op ons veldje (al zeggen ze zelf dat dat er wel is).
