Mastering the Map: How to Use Adelhof’s Plattegrond to Choose Your Perfect Pitch or Bungalow
Choosing the right spot can make your holiday. Adelhof’s Plattegrond (interactive site map) lets you see exactly where each camping field, waterside bungalow, and facility sits—so you can secure that quiet edge-of-park pitch, a pet-friendly field, or a luxury pitch near the big fishing pond before you book. In this guide, you’ll learn how to read the map, what to look for by accommodation type, and how to balance peace, play, and proximity to amenities.
Why the Plattegrond is your smartest first step
Adelhof is a nature-rich family park in South-West Drenthe with a wide choice of stays and on-site amenities. The Plattegrond helps you:
- Pinpoint waterside options around the large fishing pond.
- Choose pet-friendly or pet-free camping fields with confidence.
- Spot luxury pitches with on-pitch services versus spacious standard fields.
- Place yourself near the Indoor Speelstee (indoor playground), Café & Restaurant Adelhof, the adjacent heated outdoor pool, or seasonal animation activity areas.
Because the park offers both tranquil corners and lively hubs, the map is the fastest way to match your location to how you want to spend your days—whether that’s early-morning casting at the pond, easy dining strolls, or quick dashes to playtime under cover when the weather turns.
Step-by-step: Reading Adelhof’s Plattegrond like a pro
- Open the Plattegrond on the website.
- Locate the large fishing pond—it’s the key landmark for waterside stays and anglers.
- Filter or visually scan for your accommodation type (pitches, bungalows, trekkers hut, group accommodation).
- Check field labels for pet policies: choose the pet-friendly field or a pet-free field as needed.
- Identify luxury vs. standard pitches to confirm the services you want.
- Note proximity to facilities you’ll use often: Indoor Speelstee, Café & Restaurant Adelhof, and the heated outdoor pool next to the park.
- Shortlist 2–3 locations that balance your wish list (e.g., waterside + quiet, or near dining + playground).
- Use the Direct boeken option to secure your preferred spot promptly.
Waterside stays: exactly where to look
- Type 6B bungalows: All of these freestanding bungalows sit around the fishing pond. They were renovated in 2025, have two floors, and parking is possible by the bungalow; a number of units include a storage shed.
- Type 6A bungalows: Several Type 6A units are situated around the pond, while most others lie toward the park edge. Look for the map label to confirm.
- Type 6A Comfort (Aan de vijver): These place all rooms on the ground floor (max 6 guests) and are by the pond; a pet-allowed variant exists.
- Trekkershut Visstek: Right on the waterfront on an extra-large pitch; sleeps up to four. Arrival and departure are possible daily with a minimum of one night.
- Anglers’ tip: Guests may fish freely in the on-site pond—no permit required. See the Onze visvijver information for inspiration.
Pet-friendly or pet-free: choose the right field at a glance
- Camping with pets: Book the “Kampeerplaats Met huisdier” on the field called Land van Oost.
- Pet-free camping: Choose the clearly marked No pets fields.
- Bungalows with pets: Specific bungalow units welcome pets, including Type 6A ‘Met huisdier’ and Type 6A Comfort ‘Aan de vijver, huisdier toegestaan.’
Picking your perfect pitch (camping)
Adelhof offers both spacious standard pitches and luxury pitches. Use the Plattegrond to see their exact location and surroundings.
Spacious standard pitches:
- All have electricity connections.
- Surrounded by bushes for privacy on cozy fields.
- Available in pet-friendly and pet-free areas.
Luxury pitches:
- 16-amp electricity.
- Private water tap and grey-water drainage.
- On-pitch internet connection.
- No physical dividers between spots.
Map-savvy tip: If you value quick access to dining and play, pick a pitch nearer the Café & Restaurant Adelhof and Indoor Speelstee. If you prefer quiet mornings, use the Plattegrond to identify edges of fields or pockets set back from main footpaths.
Picking your perfect bungalow
Adelhof’s bungalows vary by layout, location, and features. The Plattegrond helps you see exactly where each type sits.
- Type 6A (max 6): Many are towards the park edge for a quieter feel; several are by the pond. Offered in pet-free and pet-allowed variants.
- Type 6A Comfort (Aan de vijver): All rooms on the ground floor (no stairs), by the pond; pet-allowed variant available.
- Type 6B: All are around the pond; renovated in 2025; two floors; some include a shed; parking is possible by the bungalow.
- Type Grasdak (4-person): Freestanding with a distinctive round, sloping grass roof, offering privacy and a design suited for guests with respiratory conditions.
- Type Boerderij: Freestanding with a large private garden for plenty of privacy, plus a shed where you can securely store bicycles.
- 12-person group bungalow: A dedicated group accommodation for larger get-togethers.
Map-savvy tip: If accessibility is top priority, look for Type 6A Comfort (all rooms on the ground floor). If you’re an angler or love water views, focus on Type 6B (all by the pond) and clearly labeled waterside Type 6A options.
Location trade-offs to consider on the map
- Play vs. peace: Stays closer to the Indoor Speelstee and seasonal animation areas mean faster fun for kids, while edges of the park usually feel more tranquil.
- Dining access: Being near Café & Restaurant Adelhof is convenient for meals and drinks.
- Swimming: The heated outdoor swimming pool is located right next to the park—use the Plattegrond to gauge a quick walking route.
- Nature day trips: If you’ll be out cycling or walking, note exits toward nearby nature reserves, including Holtingerveld, Drents-Friese Wold, De Weerribben, and Dwingelderveld.
