About the camp
De Meenthe occupies the site of Noordwolde's former natural swimming pool, and the old pond is still the heart of the grounds: one of the four small fields wraps around it, and the other three sit between the trees. It is a Nivon natuurkampeerterrein, the kind of volunteer-run nature campsite whose promise is quiet, space and the woods rather than facilities. Trekkers get a field of their own, and two fitted-out PODs (trekkershuts) named IJsvogel and Blauwe Reiger welcome walkers and cyclists who carry no tent. For wet weather there is 't Schoelplak, a covered shelter the camp built for the 2025 season. From the gates ride into Drents-Friese Wold national park, the Weerribben-Wieden and the Rottige Meenthe bogs, or put a canoe or whisper-boat on the river Linde.
