Sleeping on the water

Now that's an original overnight stay!

Sustainable raft

A holiday on a camping raft is a unique experience. A camping raft is located on the water of a lake, river or canal and can only be reached by canoe. It consists of a sustainably built base of 25 square meters on which a wooden hut of 12.5 square meters stands. The hut can be locked. The rafts are well spaced apart, so you can experience a lot of privacy.

Location in the middle of nature

Unique spots in the Netherlands are selected for the camping rafts, near special nature reserves where you can feel like you are alone in the world, but also have plenty of entertainment nearby if you want to go out. Each raft has a beautiful location on the water in the middle of nature. From the departure point you can sail to your raft in approximately 10 to 15 minutes. There is ample free parking at both locations.

Canadian canoe included

If you book a camping raft overnight stay, a Canadian canoe is included in your stay. A Canadian canoe is so large that 3 to 4 adults can comfortably sit in it. The canoe, which is also large enough to transport your luggage, is given to you from the departure point and you can use it during your stay to move around and go on an adventure in the area.

Sanitation

A camping raft overnight stay is a wonderful back-to-basics experience. For sanitary facilities, take the Canadian canoe and sail back to the departure point in approximately 10 to 15 minutes where you have showers and toilets at your disposal. We understand that this is quite an undertaking at night. That is why the camping equipment you receive includes a toilet bucket for emergencies.

Reception, catering and recreation

There is a reception at both locations where you can check in and receive practical information about your camping raft adventure. Whether you go to Marnemoende or De Heen, there are plenty of recreational opportunities everywhere and there are always restaurants nearby if you want to have a bite to eat, for example. You can often also rent whisper boats, SUP boards or other types of canoes on site.​
