Wadden Lodge Living

Luxe chalet near a sandy beach on the Wadden Sea

A chalet that feels like a nice home. The warm colours, a well-equipped wooden kitchen with a Dolce Gusto coffee machine, spacious shower, comfortable beds and a sheltered veranda from which you have a great view. Surely that's all you need. This chalet is located on a family campsite in the rolling countryside. The campsite has children's entertainment, play and sports facilities and a good restaurant. Within walking distance is the lutes beach, with a fenced-off shallow bathing area

You can easily walk to the Lutjestrand on the Amstel Lake from the campsite. The recreation area has kitesurfing, windsurfing, and a sandy beach. There is also a nice eating place here. It is especially nice to have a swimming pool to swim safely. On the sandy beach, you will find various play equipment for different ages, such as a water table and a volleyball net.

From the campsite, you can reach the Wadden Sea in no time. But if you want more beach fun, take a day trip to Callantsoog. Callantsoog is one of the oldest seaside resorts in the Netherlands. It is known for its immaculate, wide sandy beach. Here, you can enjoy a long beach walk or a sunny day.

The rolling countryside lends itself to lovely hiking or cycling trips. The landscape consists of meadows with sheep, small villages and polder areas with unique flora and fauna. Just before the Afsluitdijk lies Den Oever, an attractive fishing village and a paradise for nature lovers and those seeking peace. Various activities are organised here, such as mudflat hiking, shrimp fishing, dew walking, sport fishing, and, in summer, spectacular seal trips from the harbour to the Wadden Sea. Culture seekers will also enjoy the Viking Information Centre, which has a permanent exhibition on the Vikings.

By car, you can reach Den Helder in just a few minutes; this city has a rich maritime history. Because the town is surrounded by water on three sides, Napoleon chose Den Helder to build the most extensive naval base with a shipyard in the Netherlands. Willemsoord houses the Naval Museum and the Lifeboat Muse just outside the city centre. There is plenty to see and experience for young and old alike. The most unique thing is to see the inside of the Tuna, a huge submarine. Den Helder also has a lively nightlife, excellent restaurants, numerous shops, cinemas and a beautiful theatre.

Those looking to soak up more Dutch history should visit Alkmaar. Alkmaar is an old, typical Dutch city with beautiful buildings and unique canal houses known for their gables lining the canals. The cheese market is a real experience.
You can also be in the heart of Amsterdam from the campsite in an hour's drive.
In short, it is an ideal location full of peace, space and beach fun within easy reach and beautiful nature and historic villages and towns nearby
