De Voormolen

Netherlands · from €23 per night

A small, green, car-free caravan and chalet park of about five hectares on the Hollandse IJssel in the Lopikerwaard polder, ten kilometres south-west of Utrecht. It is a 45+ park without facilities for children, open from 1 April to 15 October.

About the camp

De Voormolen is a quiet park of about five hectares lying along the Hollandse IJssel in the polder landscape of the Lopikerwaard, and it says plainly who it suits: the 45+ recreant looking for peace and space rather than animation. Every pitch is roomy and has its own utility connections. The sanitary building is modern and includes an accessible shower and toilet, there is a guest laundry, and wifi is free across the park. Inside the gates the park is car-free, with free parking for residents and their visitors. The river in front of the park invites a quiet line in the water, a moored boat, and long walks and bike rides over the dikes. Grandchildren are welcome; the park has no facilities for children.

In the Lopikerwaard polder, ten kilometres south-west of Utrecht, on the Hollandse IJssel. IJsselstein, calling itself the gateway to the Lopikerwaard, has a historic centre to walk through, and the polder around the park is a classic Dutch landscape of green meadows cut by hedgerows, coppice, reed beds and duck ponds. Utrecht is a short drive or ride away.
