ANWB Campsite of the Year 2021
In the various categories, the winners of the ANWB Campsite of the Year 2021 Awards have been announced. This year, they were announced during the online event 'Camp to the future'. The honor was awarded to four companies.
Four Categories
This election no longer involves a professional jury. The campsites are chosen entirely by Dutch campers. They award the necessary points to the campsites, divided into four categories. This is done based on nine different criteria. Not all of these carry the same weight, so it's not the case that the campsite with the most votes automatically wins. The election has been held since 1987. In the past summer period, 25,000 people voted for their favorite campsite.
Both voters with their own camping equipment and renters of accommodations participated. The polls will reopen next summer. From June, everyone can nominate their favorite campsite. But that's still a while away. First, let's put this year's winners in the spotlight. For a whole year, the campsites below can call themselves ANWB Campsite of the Year 2021.
The Best Small Campsite
Camping De Nesse, Limmen: A very well-maintained and car-free mini-campsite. Also chosen as ANWB Campsite of the Year in 2019, it is located in a green area with a high hedge around it. All pitches have a tiled platform. In addition, there is a sand/water playground and a small animal meadow. Charging points can be found in the large covered bicycle shed. The campsite is a good starting point for cycling tours. The Noord-Hollands Duinreservaat nature reserve is 4 km away.
The Nicest Family Campsite
Camping de Paal, Bergeijk: This campsite also won an award in the ANWB election in 2018 and 2019. Particularly suitable for young families or sporty peace-seekers. With mostly car-free, spacious pitches on streets or fields. There are also outdoor playgrounds, an indoor water playground, and an extensive swimming pool complex with all imaginable forms of water recreation. Activities are also plentiful, such as the interactive children's theater and canoeing.
The Most Appreciated Rental Accommodation
Vakantiepark Het Lierderholt, Beekbergen: Also an old acquaintance as a winner in this category. The campsite consists of a sloping, wooded area with many facilities and is largely car-free. Some of the pitches are directly adjacent to the wildlife route. On some fields, parents have a good view of their playing children. Every week there are guided nature tours. There is also regular live music. The campsite has a heated rectangular outdoor swimming pool and a heated toddler pool. This has a fun children's slide, fountains, and water sprayers.
The Most Charming Campsite
Camping De Helfterkamp, Vaassen: A beautiful campsite where you experience peace and relaxation. Families with young children and seniors form the largest group of visitors. The camping fields are largely car-free. The atmosphere is also relaxed and friendly. For the children, there are playgrounds. In bad weather, you can go to the farm shed or the hay barn. There is a library, TV, and pool table. A food truck visits the campsite twice a week. Many walking and cycling routes can be followed in the nearby crown domains.
