Unique camping: a camping raft in Waterland

Camping on a camping raft, it may sound a bit crazy, but it's possible! Just like in the old days when they had to build a raft during a shipwreck, only now with a positive reason: going on holiday. Camping on the water in a luxurious tent: how does that sound to you?

Rafting in Sweden

In the Netherlands, rafting may not yet be such a phenomenon, but in Sweden it is a real tradition. For years, people there have been doing what is called rafting. According to tradition, you first have to build your own raft. Once you have rolled about 20 thick logs into the river, you tie them together with a rope. On top of that, you attach more logs of different sizes and then the journey can begin.

Rafting in the Netherlands

Unlike in Sweden, you don't have to build your own raft in the Netherlands. Fortunately, it is already neatly prepared for you. The camping raft is fully equipped with a tent, camping mattresses and a toilet bucket. The raft also has a motor, so you can cruise around using the route maps. Along the way, you will be guided past beautiful nature reserves and you will also pass mooring places for a snack and a drink. If you want to stay in the camping mood and cook yourself, that is also possible! The raft is equipped with a 2-burner gas stove, gas tank and a jerry can with 20 liters of water.

What you do have to bring yourself are your sleeping gear, such as sleeping bags and pillows. The necessary hygiene articles, crockery and of course games!

During the day you can follow a sailing route through Waterland and in the evening you can retreat to your tent. After a whole day of sailing, you can then enjoy the starry sky in nature in the evening. We are sold!
