Camping in Overijssel – Lakes, Hanseatic Cities and Dutch Countryside

Camping in Overijssel offers a balanced mix of nature and culture, with accommodation options including mobile homes, safari tents, glamping lodges and spacious touring pitches near lakes, forests or traditional villages.

Here visitors can explore narrow waterways, reed beds and quiet lakes by canoe or electric boat.
