Bad Hoophuizen is a beautiful holiday park, that meets the Veluwemeer. A unique location with many possibilities for a lovely holiday with friends or family. Bad Hoophuizen is centrally located in the beautiful region of the Veluwe! A great place for walking or cycling, and its situation on the Veluwemeer makes it perfect for water sports enthusiasts as well. Discover the many facilities at our park, such as the indoor swimming pool with wellness facilities, a cosy restaurant, various playgrounds, a park shop, our private sandy beach, marina and surf school. Because of the special location on the Veluwe, there are also lots of options to enjoy culture, history or a fun day out… There is always something to do!
Nice green pastoral camping park with bungalows\caravans for the locals, I think we were the only tourists there.
Rooms - The bungalow is not large, the rooms are small, the bunk bed rooms are even smaller with a space getting down of bed and that's all. The living room is reasonable for a family. Last important fact on the bungalow, there is no air condition in the unit, so you must keep windows open all night and share the room with flies, mosquitos and other visitors and it was a huge problem. Â
Pool - An indoor small one but enough for kids
Beach - large & width beach, water are cold but in sunny days it was possible to use to the temperature.Â
Mini Market - small one with most of the needed things for such vacation in reasonable prices. every morning fresh inhouse baked croissant, breads and more
Location - middle of nowhere. Amsterdam 1.5 hour driving, eftelin for the kids 1.5 hour driving south, So with the fact of 3 hours in car you have to plan well your trips for each area.

OK but a few points to improve. We would go back, it was an enjoyable reasonable break.
Pros - Reasonably priced accommodation - Sleeps 8 in 8 single beds - Clean almost clinical (white gloss)
Cons - A lot of building work going on in beach area, entrance and building of new homes - Walls and doors are very thin (don’t expect any privacy!) - 8 chairs to eat but only space for 5 in comfy chairs - Beds are hard and pillows thin and lumpy - Cups/ glasses all marginally bigger than an egg cup if you like a decent sized cuppa bring your own!!

Very nice (spacious) holiday rental park. Nice, clean chalets. The beach near the Veluwe lake is great. We were here the last week of juli, beginning of August and had perfect (hot) weather. The animation team organises fun things for the kids. Our son was 8 at the moment we visited. The indoor pool was fun to play at. The supermarket wasn't large but had all the basic things and friendly staff. The supermarket also has a pizzeria, which delivered the pizza's and kapsalon dish at our chalet. The snackbar has good fries. Babbel beach has great dinning. The only strange thing we had with this park, was that you have to make a reservation for the

Old fashioned park. Very short shop/restaurant opening hours. The reception closes at 18:00 The checkpoint can only be opened with a special card, but only until 11:00 p.m If you are a tourist, and your flight is delayed - there is no answer on the "emergency" phone We had to drag with 2 children and suitcases for about 25 minutes until they found our apartment in total darkness The mini market is open from 8 to 12
The place is very far, about an hour in each direction Extremely expensive for what it has to offer. There is no air conditioning

A beautiful park right on the Veluwe lake with amazing views. We were very impressed with the quality of the accommodations and the facilities. We stayed at Luxe cube CUB6B (ZZ08) for 3 nights over the new year and loved every moment of it. House was spacious, very clean, with all needed amenities and beautifully decorated. Staff was always friendly and responsive and lots of activities for the kids. We will definitely visit again.

We stayed in property T17, an accommodation on the water. This was a really nice property, very comfortable, clean and well furnished. The park itself is very pleasant, tidy and in a great location. We stayed with our young daughter and felt that the park and the property were very safe.
We stayed during a fairly quiet time, so we weren’t able to try all of the facilities but those we did were good.
I would definitely stay here again.

It is a lovely spot at the beach of Veluwemeer. The park has also a camping site for tents and camper-/ caravans. Beautiful spot in the nature in general! It is very close to to the national park Veluwe and near the park you can go for morning run in forests enjoying beautiful views. It offers possibilities for outdoors swimming plus indoors swimming pool, plenty of water-sport activities for advanced and beginners. The park offers also animation program that the kids enjoyed. We enjoyed so many beautiful sunsets with different wild birds swimming in the calm waters of the lake during the evening walks - the kids loved the views as well :) The park has many different accommodations - some brand new, others older but kept is perfect condition and equipped with all facilities for a good stay. The mini-market is supplied with all necessary products to prepare nice meals. In addition it is only 5-10 min drive to the closest village or the beautiful town of Harderwijk. We were very pleased with the hotel services there as well (bed were made up on our arrival, there were nice welcome boxes with useful information and lots of small gifts and sweet treats. The stuff is very helpful and friendly. The internet connection was fine too (assuming we were there for holidays so enjoyed mostly the internet - free life outdoors and used the internet connection at the accommodation for brief online surfing or checking emails only). May be it would be a good idea to add some nets on the doors and windows for the hot days to avoid eventual flies entering the rooms but we did not have serious problems with them (1-2 occasional). There were no mosquitoes. We recommend it and

This was a family holiday for 3, booked online through Sun Camps. It started off badly when booking in, they tried to charges 25 Euros for bed Linen, even though the contract clearly stated that Bed Linen was not included, hence we had brought our own. They said they could not deduct it, but as I had a contract in my hand they had lost the argument before they had begun, as I said I was not paying it. They said i should pay it and then claim it back from Sun camp, but I said they could do that. They then checked the Sun Camp website and realised I was right, and then the charge was deducted from my invoice. The Chalet had a small parking space, whereas I had a big car, it was a struggle to get it in. On entering he Chalet we noticed the abundance of flies, plus the chalet was like an oven as the sun was shining through the large apex window with no blinds. The smoke alarm was bleeping due to low battery, and the childrens beds had dirty mattress protectors (one with blood on). The bathroom light was not working, and the floors were not particulary clean. The window above the sink has no blind, so all can see in when the lights are on. The plates and glasses were not all clean, and needed to be washed before use. The bedroom windows have fly nets on, but are damaged, and held on by sticky tape. The bathroom window pane is cracked. The whole place is dusty, and clearly the cleaning fee that everybody pays is not well spent. The shower cubicle was dirty with hairs, I cannot imagine how long ago this was cleaned. There was a cupboard door missing from one of the wall units, and the floor covering ripped badly in one bedroom. On the positive side the dishwsher works well, a large fridge is provided (no freezer compartment), a small combi microwave oven (but no oven trays for baking) The wifi is awful when connecting with an Ipad or Iphone, however, our Laptop wasn't too bad. Upon listing the faults, the smoke alarm was fixed straightaway, plus new mattress protector brought over. The Light took a further day to be replaced, and the floor covering and cupboard door were not fixed during our stay. We bought a fly spray to deal with the flies, I think theres a lot of them due to the farming practices nearby. It was a noisy location being opposite some sort of fun house where kids played until midnight, despite having asked for a quiet location, hence they had not taken any notice of the options they gave us when making the booking. The furniture has seen better days, as the plastic wood effect veneer is peeling off, and the pedal bin is broken in the bathroom. The coffee machine works well, as does the TV. I think that this Holiday Chalet could be okay with better management, they need to fix the problems before holiday makers arrive, not after. For such a large campsite there is a poorly stocked minimarket, perhaps to encourage you to eat in the restaurant. I cannot comment on the restaurant as we never tried it. The swimming pool is somewhat boring, on other campsites there are slides etc, and because this is just a swimming pool the teenagers run riot with no control whatsoever. Long jumps into the pool causes it to be quite hazardous for small children. This campsite does not have many activities for children, so the older ones tend to roam around making yobish noise and drinking beer all evening. On the Saturday night some drunk Germans decided to blast the campsite with music at 2:00am having just been beat by Brazil in the Olympics football, campsite security kept well away leaving the rest of us to suffer the noise. Just when we thought all the problems had shown themselves, it rained. It was then we realised the roof of the chalet resembles a caravan roof, the noise was horrendous, and of course it all comes down lack of quality, the chalets have little or no insulation, this also explains why the chalet is so hot when the sun is shining. Compared to other campsites I've been to in Europe this is definitely the worst I have experienced, and yet it could be better if the management took an interest in sorting things out. Until then I suggest giving this one a miss. I have attached some pictures showing a few problems.

We own a house in this beautiful park. Unfortunately, the park has no catering facilities for the 2nd season in a row. Not being able to sit on a terrace while enjoying the setting sun on Lake Veluwe is an eternal shame and a missed opportunity. I also read that many people are not aware of this. The park management should really and quickly do something about this. Furthermore, an extremely child-friendly and dog-friendly park. The 'mosquito plague' that many reviews mention only occurs during a certain time in the spring. This will be over again in June/July. They are not mosquitoes either, which is indeed annoying when you have to walk through such a swarm towards the beach waving your arms.
