Surrounded by the natural beauty of Overijssel, Sallandshoeve’s location is a gateway to countless outdoor adventures. The park lies close to Nationaal Park De Sallandse Heuvelrug, a striking nature reserve of rolling hills, forest paths, heathlands, and panoramic viewpoints perfect for hiking and cycling.

Bring your bike from home or rent one on‑site to explore scenic bike routes through the countryside, discover tranquil woodlands, and follow marked walking trails that lead you deep into the heart of the Dutch wilderness.

A short drive will take you to quaint nearby towns and villages. Holten (≈10 km) and Raalte (≈11 km) are full of local cafés, shops, and terraces where you can enjoy a leisurely lunch or coffee. For rich Dutch cultural experiences, historic Deventer (≈16 km) and Zutphen (≈34 km) offer charming city centers, museums, old architecture, bustling markets, and riverside walks.

Families with children will also appreciate nearby attractions such as Avonturenpark Hellendoorn (around 12 – 15 min drive), a theme park packed with rides and entertainment, and Apenheul in Apeldoorn — a beloved primate park perfect for kids and adults alike.

For casual days out, explore smaller nature spots like Sprengenberg or take a scenic canal walk alongside the IJssel River. Local cycling routes also connect you to charming cafés and traditional Dutch farms where you can sample regional produce and relax amidst farmland vistas.

Before you embark on your holiday at Sallandshoeve, here are a few handy insights to help you prepare:

• Plan and book in advance, especially for summer and school breaks — this park is popular and desirable for families and outdoor lovers. • Arrive in daylight if possible — it makes settling into your camping pitch or holiday home so much easier. • Bring outdoor gear like comfortable walking shoes, rain jackets, and bike helmets — the natural terrain here is worth exploring in all seasons. • Check pet policies before booking if you plan to travel with a dog — certain pitches and accommodations are pet‑friendly. • Use the on‑site bike rentals to discover the trails around the park — it’s one of the best ways to see the surroundings.

During your stay, take time to discover local food options beyond the park — from small village cafés to traditional Dutch restaurants serving local specialties. Local shops and supermarkets are just a short drive away, ideal for restocking supplies or picking up picnic treats.
