holiday park Ommerland

Vakantiepark Ommerland is a forest park on the edge of Ommen, in the Vechtdal region of Overijssel. It sits two kilometres from the town centre, surrounded by heathland, woodland and sand drifts.

Accommodations at Ommerland

The park offers bungalows, lodges and chalets for groups ranging from four to twelve people. Several accommodation types carry the designation "met hond," meaning they are specifically set up for guests travelling with a dog. Options include forest bungalows, heath bungalows, Vechtdal lounges and a large family bungalow sleeping up to twelve.

Facilities on the grounds

Ommerland has a heated outdoor swimming pool, an indoor swimming pool, a toddler pool, a whirlpool and a water play area with a slide. Children have access to an indoor playground, an outdoor playground and a nature playground, and there is an animation programme during the season. For activities, the park offers pony riding, archery and beach volleyball, and on-site catering includes a restaurant, a snack bar, a bread roll delivery service and a shop. Guests with dogs are well provided for: several bungalows and lodges are adapted for pets, and there is a dedicated dog shower on site.

What to do around Ommen and the Vechtdal

The area around the park is well suited to walking and cycling, with routes through the surrounding forests, heathland and sand drifts. Nearby landmarks include the observation tower on the Besthmenerberg, which offers views over the Vechtdal, and the Vilsterse Molen, a working mill in the landscape outside Ommen. The town of Ommen itself has shops, cafés and a riverside setting along the Vecht that makes it a pleasant base for exploring the wider region. Canoe trips on the Vecht are a popular option in the area.

Getting to Ommerland

Ommen is located in the province of Overijssel, roughly between Zwolle and Almelo. Zwolle is the nearest large city and has a main-line railway station with good connections to the rest of the Netherlands.

Who the park suits

Ommerland is a practical choice for families with young children, given the range of pools, playgrounds and supervised activities. The dog-friendly infrastructure, including dedicated accommodations and a dog shower, also makes it a straightforward option for guests travelling with pets.
