Camper place Op ‘t Loo in Oploo
BackCamperplaats Op 't Loo in Oploo emphatically presents itself as something other than a typical overnight campervan site. This location in the rural area of North Brabant, at the intersection of Limburg and Gelderland, breaks through conventional expectations of a campervan site. It offers a level of comfort and amenities that blurs the lines between a functional campervan hospedaje and a small-scale holiday resort . With 37 spacious pitches, a heated outdoor pool, a jacuzzi, and a recently completed sauna, this site caters to campers looking for more than just a paved surface and a power outlet. The owners, Twan and Bianca, have transformed their former farmhouse into a place where hospitality and luxury take center stage.
The Pitches and General Atmosphere
Upon arrival, the spacious layout is immediately striking. The 37 generously sized pitches are situated around a central pond, creating an open and green atmosphere. Guests can choose between paved and grassy pitches, offering a suitable option for every preference. Each pitch is equipped with a 6-amp electrical hookup, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the site. This thoughtful alojamiento (alojamiento) ensures that every camper experiences their own "private departamento ," with ample space and privacy. The atmosphere is one of tranquility and rural freedom, a conscious choice by the owners who want to share these core values with their guests. The meticulous construction and impeccable maintenance, frequently praised in reviews, contribute to a premium camping experience.
Exceptional Facilities: More than just a Camper Site
What truly sets Camperplaats Op 't Loo apart is the exceptional range of amenities one would expect at a luxury hotel or holiday villa . The heated outdoor pool is undoubtedly the biggest draw. Guests can enjoy it from early morning until late evening (10:00 PM), a luxury that allows for swimming fun even in early autumn. Adjacent to the pool is a jacuzzi for added relaxation.
The wellness offerings were recently expanded to include a sauna, complete with an outdoor cold plunge pool. This addition, described in previous reviews as "under construction," is now a reality and reinforces the camper site's image as a fully-fledged relaxation destination. For more active guests, there's a beach volleyball court and a pétanque court. Another highly appreciated amenity is the "living room": a cozy indoor space where guests, especially in inclement weather, can gather, read a book by the fireplace, or play a game. This space offers a level of comfort comparable to the lounge of a hostería or posada .
Sanitary and Practical Facilities
The quality of the sanitary facilities is often a decisive factor for campervan owners, and Op 't Loo scores excellently in this regard. The reviews are unanimously complimentary about the cleanliness and quality of the showers and toilets. There is a modern and clean sanitary building near the "living room" and an additional, smaller building centrally located on the site, keeping walking distances to a minimum. Washing machines and a dryer are also available for laundry. All necessary services for a campervan, such as emptying the cassette toilet and gray water, and filling the fresh water tank, are modern, clean, and efficiently equipped. This level of practical care is reminiscent of a well-organized albergue , but with a much higher level of comfort for the individual mobile homes .
Potential Disadvantages and Considerations
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there are a few points potential visitors should consider. The luxury and extensive facilities come with a higher price tag than the average campervan site in the region. With a rate of around €25-€30 per night (including electricity and tourist tax), the site is positioned in the upper segment. For campervanners looking for only a functional overnight stay, this can be a bit pricey. However, for those who actively use the swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna, it offers excellent value for money.
Another point is the location itself. While the rural setting is a plus for many due to the tranquility and excellent cycling and walking opportunities, it also means that for extensive shopping or urban entertainment, people rely on a means of transport. The center of Oploo is accessible on foot, but for larger supermarkets or towns like Boxmeer, a bicycle or camper van is necessary. Finally, although not widely mentioned, the proximity of a main road and an adjacent party center can potentially cause some noise pollution, depending on the wind direction and events. However, this is a minor drawback in an otherwise very peaceful and relaxing environment.
A Destination in Itself
Camperplaats Op 't Loo is more than a stopover; it's a destination in itself. It's an ideal choice for campers who want to combine their trip with a high level of comfort and relaxation. It's not a traditional campsite, nor a simple camper hostel , but a hybrid that combines the best of both worlds. The facilities rival those of small-scale vacation homes or boutique cabañas . For those seeking a unique camper experience in Brabant, where luxury, hospitality, and a beautiful rural setting converge, this alojamiento is highly recommended, provided your budget and preferences align with the premium concept offered.
