RCN het Grote Bos is situated in the triangle formed by Doorn, Driebergen and Maarn in the middle of woodland. The area around the campsite is very diverse. On one side is a river landscape with historical towns and old castles and on the other side is hilly woodland (De Utrechtse Heuvelrug).

Over winding pathways to your pitch

The large campsite is located in the middle of woodland. You reach your pitch via winding pathways. The camping pitches are at least 100 m2 in size and you can opt for a shaded pitch. There are special pitches for cycling campers and comfort pitches with water supply and drainage.

On the campsite, adjacent to the camping pitches, there are also safari tents, Finnish bungalows and holiday cottages. The sanitary facilities are well maintained and on several spots on the campsite you will find Thetford cleaning machines: a type of dishwasher for your chemical toilet.

Bowling, crossing and survival running

The campsite has a large number of facilities for young and old. There is a natural pond, fossil field and several playgrounds. For sports enthusiasts there is a soccer and a basket ball field, a tennis court and jeu-de-boule pitch, a table tennis table, bowling alley, bicycle cross track for children and skelter and bicycle rental.

From April to October and during school holidays there is a recreation team. The heated outdoor pool with slide in located in the middle of the campsite and is surrounded by a lawn. Also fun: In the Grote Bos you can take part in a great deal of survival fun. By climbing, hanging and swaying you can follow an exciting obstacle course, which will lead you through the woods and over water.

Grote nadeel van deze camping is het aantal auto’s dat over de camping scheurt. De boslucht maakt plaats voor uitlaatgassen. Voor onze plaats rijden doorlopend auto’s zelfs na 22:00 uur.

Het is een grote camping/vakantiepark met alle faciliteiten die je je wenst als je een relaxte vakantie wil. Omdat er ook voor de kinderen alles voorhanden is incl. een prachtig zwembad. Ook het restaurant is prima en de keuze is reuze. Ook de omgeving is een paradijs voor wandelaars en fietsers. Dus wij komen zeker nog een keer terug.

2 nachten in een weekend in het voorseizoen hier verbleven. De camping is erg groot, maar toch erg rustig, de ligging heerlijk in het bos. De kinderen hebben zich prima vermaakt in het zwembad, de speeltuin en het sportveld, er is echt genoeg te doen en er was animatie aanwezig. Vanaf de camping starten verschillende wandel- en fietsroutes. Kampwinkel had een prima aanbod. Op zaterdag was er een visboer aanwezig die heerlijke haring en kibbeling verkocht. Sanitair voor een camping echt goed op orde, wc's hadden spray om de bril schoon te maken, douches fijne straal en 5 minuten was echt genoeg. Voor kinderen een babybad en kinderdouches, ook een familiedouche aanwezig. Kortom, niks te klagen, alles prima!

Zeer goede camping, RCN was voor ons onbekende maar nu zeker favoriet. Zeurders die bang zijn dat hun ebike gestolen wordt moeten die lekker thuis laten. Dat kan op elke camping gebeuren.

Uitstekende camping, paradijs voor kinderen. Prive sanitair heel goed. fijn dat je closetpapier en schoonmaakmiddelen krijgt, heel attent! (Kan niet oordelen over overig sanitair.)
Goed voorziene winkel op de camping met redelijke prijzen. Grote keuze uit heerlijk vers brood. Prijs/kwaliteit restaurant vonden wij niet goed. Prijs voor een kale tosti is niet ok.
Fijn wandel en fiets gebied.

Wij zijn hier het Paasweekend geweest op de camperplaats. een zeer naar gevoel overgehouden aan dit bezoek. De camping is slecht beveiligd omdat beveiligingscamera’s niet bij alle altijd openstaande poortjes aanwezig zijn. Huisvuilzak over de camera geplaatst. Het toegangs poortje staat voor iedereen, ook voor ongenode gasten open. Opening zelfs naast parkeerplaats aan de openbare weg. Onze 2 E-bikes, ondanks 4 sloten konden zo eenvoudig. s nachts buiten de camping geplaatst en meegenomen worden. Wij waren blij dat wij geen kleine kinderen bij ons hadden. Ook het personeel zou nodig een “klant vriendelijkheid” training moeten volgen.

De camping ligt helemaal in het bos. Je ziet dat het personeel wordt geleid door een zeer goede manager. Er zijn vele mogelijkheden op de camping voor jong en oud. Zeer proper sanitair. Er is een campingwinkel en een restaurant- brasserie. Er wordt een uitgebreid animatieprogramma aangeboden. Zeer mooie fietsroutes die vertrekken vanop de camping.
