What is the ‘Land van Oost’ field?

How Land van Oost compares to other pitch types

Pet etiquette at Adelhof: simple habits for a relaxed stay

Good etiquette keeps your holiday—and your neighbors’—peaceful and fun. These simple, widely accepted practices make all the difference.

Be considerate of neighbors

• Give fellow campers space when arriving, setting up, and moving around shared paths.
• Keep your dog from approaching other pitches uninvited.

Keep leads handy and control confident

• Use a lead where needed, especially around shared facilities and along paths.
• Maintain reliable recall and supervise your dog at all times.

Clean up promptly and dispose responsibly

• Always pick up after your dog.
• Carry bags so you’re ready on walks, by paths, and near your pitch.

Share space thoughtfully around the fishing pond

Adelhof features a large on-site fishing pond where guests can fish freely. Be courteous by:

• Giving anglers a wide berth.
• Avoiding tangles with rods, lines, and tackle.
• Keeping dogs calmly by your side as you pass.

Plan for comfort on your pitch

• Create a rest spot (mat or crate) so your dog settles easily.
• Keep fresh water available—especially on warm days.
• Use the electricity connection on Land van Oost for essentials like cooling fans, a night light, or charging pet GPS trackers.

Best walks near Vledder with your dog

Adelhof sits in South-West Drenthe at Vledderweg 19, 8381 AB Vledder, close to remarkable natural areas that are perfect for exploring together:

• Holtingerveld
• Drents-Friese Wold
• Weerribben
• Dwingelderveld

These surroundings offer scenic cycling and walking routes, from forest paths to open heath and wetlands. As a general guideline in protected landscapes, keep dogs under close control and use a lead where required. Start early for cooler temperatures in summer, and carry water for both of you.
