Accommodation at Glamping Lauwersmeer
Guests stay in furnished safari tents that come equipped with proper beds, a kitchen and a bathroom. The tents are set up on arrival, so there is no assembly required. Each tent has a veranda where you can sit and plan day trips or simply unwind.
Facilities on the grounds
The park has a service point and a take-away counter, both housed in a former inn, along with a small supermarket where you can pick up fresh bread rolls for breakfast. Several small playgrounds are spread across the grounds, and the site is largely car-free, which gives children room to move around freely.
Things to do around the Lauwersmeer
The Lauwersmeer National Park offers a varied landscape of open water, meadows and woodland, and the area is well known for seal spotting. Near Lauwersoog there are several small beaches, suitable for swimming on warmer days. Boat hire is available at various points around the lake, and the Wadden island of Schiermonnikoog is reachable by ferry from Lauwersoog. After dark, the low levels of light pollution around the Lauwersmeer make it a good spot for stargazing, and there are dedicated observation towers in the area for that purpose.
The park is situated in a wierde village, Vierhuizen. Wierden are the artificial mounds built in this part of Groningen to provide protection against high water, and the landscape here reflects that long history with water management.
