Het Land van Bartje

Landal Het Land van Bartje is a large holiday park in Ees, a small village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. The park is operated by Landal GreenParks and sits in a quiet, rural part of the region.

Accommodation at Het Land van Bartje

The park has 400 holiday homes, all described as well-equipped. The range of houses can suit couples as well as larger groups or families. The volume of accommodations makes this one of the more substantial Landal parks in the north of the Netherlands.

Facilities on the grounds

A notable feature of this park is its pony ranch, where various horse-related activities are available. Alongside that, there is both a covered indoor swimming pool and an outdoor pool, an indoor playground, and several restaurants on site. Just outside the park, there is a shortened 18-hole golf course within easy reach.

What to do around Ees

Drenthe is well known for its hunebedden, the prehistoric megalithic tombs that are found in greater concentration here than anywhere else in the Netherlands. The area around Ees is also home to Boswachterij Odoorn-Exloo, a forested area that is straightforward to reach by bicycle from the park. The wider region offers heathlands, cycling and walking routes across open countryside, and smaller village centres typical of rural Drenthe. The open-air museum in Borger, dedicated to the hunebedden, is one of the more visited attractions in the area.

Getting to Het Land van Bartje

The park is located roughly between Emmen and Assen, both of which are accessible by car and have train connections. Groningen is also within reasonable reach by road.

Who the park suits

This park is a practical choice for families with children, given the range of on-site facilities including the pools, indoor playground, and pony ranch. It also suits those who want a base for cycling and exploring the Drenthe countryside at their own pace.
