De Bles

Tucked into the countryside on the outskirts of Markelo in Overijssel, Mini-camping De Bles is a small, quietly situated site set among meadows and forests next to a converted farmhouse.

With just 25 spacious pitches spread across three separate fields, the grounds are thoughtfully planted for privacy. Small livestock — goats and chickens — roam the property, adding a rural character without an active farm operation.

The Schipbeek flows within easy walking distance, offering fishing and swimming, and a fishing pond sits on the campsite itself.

The surrounding Twente landscape is well suited to hiking and cycling, with routes including the long-distance Pieterpad passing nearby. Historical attractions such as Holterberg and the museum farms Eungs Schoppe and Erve Niehof are within reach.

The site covers 1. 5 hectares and is open from April through September.
