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.

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.
