Maasplassen in Central Limburg: enjoying on and by the water

The Maasplassen in Central Limburg are a fantastic place for your camping holiday, but also to greatly enjoy on and by the water.You wouldn't immediately expect that when you think of Limburg. Then you'd rather think of the beautiful, rolling hills. But in the middle of Limburg is also the mecca for water recreation enthusiasts.

If you love water sports and water recreation even a little, the Maas and the Maasplassen are the place to be. With an area of over 3000 hectares, Central Limburg is one of the largest contiguous water sports areas in the Netherlands. You'll surely feel right at home there....

Maasplassen

Unique in diversity

For the inhabitants of Central Limburg and regular visitors to the Maasplassen, it's no longer a secret: this area is unique in its diversity. There's an incredible amount of fun to be had. How about swimming, surfing, sailing, diving, rowing, canoeing, wakeboarding and water skiing? Visit one of the modern marinas, enjoy a day at one of the beautiful day beaches or catch fish at one of the excellent fishing spots.

Maasplassen: a beautiful water area

To get an impression of the size and beauty of the Maas, the Maasplassen and other Central Limburg waters, it is recommended to make use of the various boat trips and cruises that depart from Roermond, Maasbracht, Thorn, Stevensweert and Wessem over the beautiful water area. For walkers and cyclists, a network of ferries has been set up, connecting Thorn, Wessem and Stevensweert not only with each other, but also with the Belgian Ophoven-Kinrooi.

Camping at the Maasplassen

Variety of campsites

Fancy staying in this area for a while? In Central Limburg, you can camp to suit your needs. For example, choose a cozy, bustling campsite that is a bit larger. Or do you prefer a small-scale farm or mini-campsite? How relaxing it is to camp in the middle of nature, or even directly by the water. Enjoy a beautiful sunset in the glistening Maas. Either way: camping at the Limburg Maasplassen is an unforgettable experience!

Explore Central Limburg from the water

Also fun: exploring the Maasplassen by boat. Handy if you are the happy owner of a boat yourself, but you can of course also rent a boat.
