Pluk de Dag Hiking Campsite – Nature camping in the Achterhoek
Looking for a peaceful campsite surrounded by nature, with hiking trails starting right outside your tent? Pluk de Dag Hiking Campsite is located in the heart of the Achterhoek, between the charming towns of Doetinchem and Zelhem. This small-scale nature campsite borders the beautiful Slangenburg Estate, known for its forests, beech-lined avenues, streams, and a historic castle.
Several scenic trails, including the famous Pieterpad and Graafschapspad, run right past the campsite—ideal for both short walks and multi-day treks.
Camping in peace, surrounded by greenery
As part of the Natuurkampeerterreinen (Dutch Nature Campsites) network, Pluk de Dag offers natural pitches nestled between flowering plants, trees, and hedges. Choose your sunny or shady spot. There are also a few hardened pitches for camper vans.
This is a peaceful, adults-only campsite, with no child facilities, making it perfect for walkers and nature lovers seeking serenity and space.
Simple facilities, with personal attention
The central “Kuierhuus” is a cozy indoor area where you can relax, take shelter from the weather, or collect fresh bread rolls each morning. The toilets and showers are clean and well-maintained, with a low-impact, eco-friendly approach.
The friendly campsite hosts are experienced hikers and are happy to give tailored advice on local walking routes, day hikes, or long-distance trails.
Explore the Achterhoek – A walker’s paradise
The Achterhoek region is a hidden gem in the Netherlands, known for its patchwork landscapes, historic farms, wooded paths, and streams. From the campsite, you can immediately head into the forest or take a trip to nearby Doetinchem or Zelhem for local culture and a bite to eat.
At night, the dark skies and peaceful atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for stargazing.
