De Helfterkamp

De Helfterkamp is a small, tranquil family campground situated in Vaassen, in the Noord-Veluwe region of Gelderland.

Set on roughly 14 hectares, the site is centered around an old farmstead and encompasses its own woodland, open meadows, and a petting zoo with farm animals.

The Hartense Molenbeek flows along and through the property — a shallow stream well suited for wading and fishing.

The ANWB has recognized De Helfterkamp as the most beautiful green campground in the Netherlands, an award in which sustainability and guest votes both played a significant role.

Fifteen walking and cycling routes fan out from the site through the surrounding crown estates, and guided mountain-bike excursions are also available. The campground operates from March through October.
