1. French feeling
At the end of a country road – somewhere between the Veluwe and the IJssel – lies mini-campsite Uylkens Hof. Between meadows, surrounded by alders and oaks, with six luxury safari tents and two thatched cottages. Experience the French feeling in your own country!

2. Italian Camping Paradises
Tenuta Tredici Ulivi in the Italian region of Le Marche is a gem you'll never want to leave. The ingredients? The serene tranquility of the countryside, beautiful medieval villages nearby, plus: sea and beach ten kilometers away (with a shuttle bus in high season). Perfetto!

5. Singing birds
Wake up to the sound of singing birds and the scent of flowers. You are in a luxurious white canvas tent with Moroccan details, in… Andalusia. After a hearty breakfast, you prepare for a walk in the mountains, and upon your return, you dive into the hammock with a good book. Long live vacation!
