Park Drentheland

Park Drentheland is a holiday park set on a spacious, wooded plot along De Gavere in Zorgvlied, in the province of Drenthe. The park sits directly on the edge of the Drents-Friese Wold, a large nature reserve of forests and heathlands.

Accommodation at Park Drentheland

The park offers a range of self-catering units for groups of four to six people, including Aekinger Lodges, Drenthe chalets, Drenthe lodges in several variants, Safari lodges, and a Trekkers hut. Some units come with extras such as an enclosed garden or a hot tub, and there are larger lodge options with additional storage. This spread of accommodation types makes the park suitable for couples, families, and small groups alike.

Facilities on the grounds

On site there is an outdoor swimming pool, a play loft, a sports field, a tennis court, and a minigolf course. Bicycles and e-choppers are available to hire directly at the park, which is a practical option given the cycling routes that run through the surrounding nature reserve. The park also provides stabling for horses, which is an unusual feature for a holiday park of this kind.

What to do around Zorgvlied

The Drents-Friese Wold National Park begins at the edge of the grounds, offering marked walking and cycling routes through pine forest, mixed woodland, and open heathland. The area is known for its wide skies, quiet paths, and the typical Drenthe landscape of esdorpen, small historic village clusters surrounded by agricultural fields. Nearby, the Kale Duinen nature area provides sand dunes and moorland that are worth exploring on foot. The broader region of Drenthe also has several hunebedden, the prehistoric megalithic tombs that are characteristic of this part of the Netherlands.

Getting to Park Drentheland

The nearest larger town is Meppel, which lies to the south of Zorgvlied and has a railway station with connections to the national network. Assen, the provincial capital of Drenthe, is also within reasonable reach and offers further amenities.

Who the park suits

Park Drentheland suits families and nature-oriented travellers who want a base in a quiet, forested part of Drenthe. Guests who enjoy cycling, walking, or horse riding will find the location and on-site facilities well matched to those interests.
