Camping De Zandput

Camping De Zandput is a family campsite in Vrouwenpolder, Zeeland, set in the dunes of the island of Walcheren. The site occupies a former sand extraction area in the dunes, with a disused water extraction zone bordering the grounds.

Facilities at De Zandput

The campsite offers free warm showers, washing cubicles, dishwashing stations, a laundry, and a chemical toilet disposal point. A restaurant and supermarket are available on site, along with a playground, do-it-yourself activities, an electric car charging point, and a service point. Pets are welcome, and the campsite has Wi-Fi throughout.

Getting around from Vrouwenpolder

Bicycle rental and electric bike rental are available directly at the campsite, which is useful given the flat terrain of Walcheren. The surrounding area has a well-developed network of cycling and walking routes along dykes, through woodlands, and across polder landscapes. The strands at Vrouwenpolder hold a Blue Flag designation, indicating clean and safe bathing conditions on the North Sea coast. The Veerse Meer, a freshwater lake formed after the Delta Works closed off the former estuary, lies close by and offers watersports and shoreline walks.

What to do around Vrouwenpolder

Walcheren is a compact island with several towns and villages within easy cycling distance. Middelburg, the provincial capital of Zeeland, has a historic centre with a large market square, the Abdij abbey complex, and a range of museums. Veere is a small fortified harbour town on the shore of the Veerse Meer, known for its preserved medieval streetscape. Domburg, another coastal resort on the island, has a long sandy beach and a small commercial centre. The Delta Works, one of the largest hydraulic engineering projects in the world, can be visited at the Watersnoodmuseum and the Deltapark Neeltje Jans, both accessible from Walcheren.
