Nature campsite in Voorst
You spend the night in a quiet orchard in the countryside, located between Zutphen, Deventer and Apeldoorn. This small, peaceful spot is reserved for tent campers who seek simplicity and nature. You pitch your tent among blackberry bushes and fruit trees — apples, pears, cherries and plums. The fields are grazed by Drenthe Heath sheep and Ouessant sheep, adding to the natural atmosphere. Birds such as little owls and buzzards are often spotted, and deer may appear at dusk. The pipowagen at the entrance of the orchard offers basic facilities including two toilets, a small sink and a power socket for your phone. There is no shower, so keep that in mind. Drinking water, a dining table, a kettle, and coffee and tea are available. For evening ambiance, you can use a fire pit or brazier. For younger campers, there is a trampoline and a small playground.
