Glamping in bad weather
Many people think glamping is only fun when the sun is shining. But if you choose a glamping holiday in the Netherlands, the weather can sometimes throw a spanner in the works. Rain, wind, or an unexpectedly chilly day. At Villatent, we make sure your glamping holiday is unforgettable, even in bad weather.
Where rain in a regular tent often means wet belongings and little space, it’s quite different in a glamping tent. Our spacious safari tents offer everything you need for a great holiday: a kitchen, comfortable beds, and a covered veranda.
Holiday Park Klein Vaarwater
The feeling of being abroad, yet still in the Netherlands? Then the Wadden Islands are always a great choice. Even when it’s windy or rainy on Ameland, Vakantiepark Klein Vaarwater is the perfect place to stay. The campsite features a indoor swimming pool, an indoor playground, and a modern fitness center. The bowling alley and the cozy restaurant, De Huyskamer, make indoor time extra enjoyable. And thanks to the spacious indoor entertainment area, the activity program can always continue.
Villatip: Rent an electric bike. This way, you can discover Ameland in a fun way, even with strong winds.

Camping De Schatberg
This large family campsite is a true holiday paradise, even when the weather isn’t on your side. Take a dip in the heated indoor pool with slide, or let the kids enjoy themselves in the spacious indoor play hall. Ready for some action? Head over to the nearby Fun & Entertainment Center for an afternoon full of fun with activities like (Hyper)bowling, laser tag, and the X-cube, where you solve puzzles together.
Villatip: Our luxury safari tents are set on spacious pitches and come with comfortable beds and heating – perfect for a rainy day.

Holiday Park Ackersate
Even on rainy days, there’s no chance of getting bored at Vakantiepark Ackersate. The park features a large indoor swimming pool with slides and an extensive indoor play paradise for the kids. While the little ones enjoy the covered play areas, you can relax with a cup of coffee or a tasty meal in the cozy restaurant.
Villatip: Want to head out? The Veluwe area offers plenty of great day trips, such as the Dolfinarium in Harderwijk, the Netherlands Open Air Museum, or a shopping day in Apeldoorn or Amersfoort.

Holiday Park De Twee Bruggen
At De Twee Bruggen you can enjoy a wonderful glamping holiday, even when the weather isn’t on your side. Start the day with a swim in the modern indoor pool or completely unwind in the sauna. Afterwards, head to the atmospheric Restaurant De Schoppe for lunch, dinner or drinks in a cosy setting. This way, your day naturally becomes a relaxing one.
Villatip: Head out into the Achterhoek and visit Ruurlo Castle. In this beautiful castle you’ll find the museum with the largest collection of works by the Dutch painter Carel Willink.

Glamping in bad weather? Cozy moments in your safari tent
Although the campsites themselves offer plenty of fun activities for rainy days, the safari tent also has many advantages. Our safari tents have a sturdy PVC roof, so you’ll stay dry even during a heavy downpour. No need to worry about wet belongings or leaking tent fabric. Almost all of our safari tents are also equipped with a split unit, which can both cool and heat. This way, the safari tent stays comfortably warm on colder days, a big plus for glamping in bad weather.
The Villatent Cottage, Villatent Ranger, and Villatent Nomad feature a spacious living area with a large wooden dining table, perfect for a cozy board game afternoon, cooking together, and enjoying a meal indoors. A rainy day easily turns into a snug and memorable experience, with all the comfort within reach.
