Camping ‘t Meyboske

Camping 't Meyboske, located on Kapelweg in Silvolde, presents itself as a small-scale recreation business primarily focused on those seeking peace and quiet, cyclists, and hikers. As an SVR-affiliated campsite, the emphasis is not on mass recreation, but on a personal approach and offering a serene environment in the Achterhoek region. Visitor feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with an average score of 4.8 out of 5, indicating a high level of satisfaction. However, in addition to the many advantages, there are a few points that potential guests should consider.

Various Forms of Alojamiento

The campsite offers a variety of accommodation options, making it attractive to a wide audience. The approximately 17 camping pitches are spaciously laid out on a car-free lawn behind the farmhouse. A significant advantage often mentioned is the presence of a paved area on the pitches, which makes setting up a caravan or campervan much easier, especially in less favorable weather conditions. For those who aren't traveling with their own camping equipment, 't Meyboske offers alternatives that go beyond a standard camping pitch.

• Cabañas (Hikers' Cabins): A wooden hiker's cabin is available for four people. Guests appreciate the quality of the beds, which guarantee a comfortable night's sleep after an active day. This type of hospedaje is ideal for cyclists or hikers who want to travel light but still experience the feeling of camping. It's a kind of modern albergue with more privacy.
• Holiday Apartments : In addition to the campsite and hiker's cabin, there are four stone holiday homes. These single-story homes offer more comfort and space, comparable to a " departamento ." They feature private terraces and modern amenities, including box-spring beds that were renewed in 2021. This makes them an excellent choice for longer stays or for guests who prefer a touch of luxury beyond traditional camping.
• Tent field for cyclists: A special field is reserved for cyclists and motorcyclists with a tent, which underlines the campsite's focus on active holidaymakers.

Facilities: Extensive for a Small Campsite

For a campsite of this size, the facilities are remarkably comprehensive. The owners, Dennis and Gerlinde van Dongen, have clearly invested in the comfort of their guests.

The Positive: Comfort and Convenience

The sanitary facilities are unanimously praised for their cleanliness. The restrooms are modern, heated, and accessible for guests with disabilities, with separate men's and women's sections. The spacious recreation room is a major plus. Here, guests will find not only a reading table with books and newspapers, but also a pool table, a ping-pong table, and a fully equipped kitchen. This is especially valuable on bad weather days. The covered veranda offers an additional sheltered outdoor space. For cycling enthusiasts, the large, locked bicycle shed with charging stations for e-bikes is a key feature. This is a service not often found in larger hotels or anonymous resorts. Practical details, such as a handcart for transporting luggage from the parking lot and the availability of a washing machine and spin dryer, contribute to a carefree stay.

The Points of Attention: What you need to know

While the facilities are high quality, one visitor notes that the number of sanitary facilities (four showers and four toilets in the main building) can be limited during peak season. This is a reality with many small-scale campsites and something to keep in mind. Another point is the nature of the campsite itself. 't Meyboske is not a resort with an entertainment team, swimming pool, or extensive playgrounds. While there are swings and a small forest for children to play in, the offerings are limited. Families looking for a holiday with plenty of organized entertainment may not find what they're looking for here. The campsite focuses on tranquility, nature, and self-reliance, a conscious choice that defines the charm of the place.

Atmosphere, Hospitality and Environment

A Personal Approach

What distinguishes Camping 't Meyboske from an impersonal hostería or posada is the personal and warm approach of the owners. Guests feel welcome and valued. Dennis and Gerlinde are described as friendly, helpful, and always available for questions or assistance. They provide guests with extensive information about the surrounding area, including a wide range of cycling and hiking routes. This personal touch ensures that many guests return year after year and feel like they're "coming home."

The ideal base for active people

The location in the Achterhoek region, just 10 kilometers from the German border, is perfect for cycling and hiking. The scenic landscape offers countless routes through a diverse landscape of meadows, forests, and small villages. The campsite facilitates this perfectly with bicycle storage and available route maps. It's the ideal hospedaje for those who want to explore the region on two wheels. The tranquility of the campsite itself, located 300 meters from the road, contributes to the relaxed atmosphere.

Who is 't Meyboske suitable for?

Camping 't Meyboske is an excellent choice for a specific target group. It's the perfect spot for adults, couples, and those seeking peace and quiet who value a spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and welcoming environment. Cyclists and hikers will find a true paradise here, with facilities fully tailored to their needs. The diverse alojamiento options, from camping pitches to comfortable villas (holiday homes), make it accessible to all budgets and comfort requirements.

However, those looking for the dynamism of a large holiday park, with extensive children's entertainment, a swimming pool, and restaurants, won't find what they're looking for here. 't Meyboske's strength lies precisely in the absence of these elements. It's a conscious choice for a small-scale setting, personal attention, and the tranquility of the countryside. The limited capacity of the sanitary facilities during peak season is a minor, but real, concern. Overall, this campsite offers a high-quality experience that fully justifies the very positive reviews.
