The Tall Trees
BackCamping De Hoge Bomen, located on Bosweg in Eeserveen, presents itself as an SVR campsite that makes a specific promise to its visitors: peace, space, and nature. This campsite is not a large-scale resort and doesn't offer luxury villas or vacation homes . Instead, it caters to campers who want to experience the essence of outdoor living in Drenthe. Guest reviews and the available information paint a detailed picture of what to expect, with both clear advantages and some areas for concern.
The Basics: Space and Amenities
One of the most praised features of De Hoge Bomen is its overwhelming spaciousness. The pitches are exceptionally large, reportedly at least 150m², creating a sense of privacy and freedom rarely found. This is in stark contrast to the tightly packed accommodations sometimes found in busy hotels or hostels . Here, each guest has their own private space. A unique and practical detail often mentioned is the presence of artificial grass where the awning or canopy will be placed. This prevents muddy ground during rain and provides a clean and comfortable living space outside the caravan or campervan—a thoughtful addition that makes the stay more enjoyable.
High-level sanitary facilities
Restrooms are a crucial part of any camping experience, and De Hoge Bomen scores highly in this regard. Visitors rave about the showers, often described as "wonderful rain showers." They are clean, modern, and offer a level of comfort one would expect at a luxury hostería . For guests who desire even more privacy and convenience, there is the option to rent a private restroom unit. These units, equipped with a private shower, toilet, and sink, offer a form of personal alojamiento comfort that elevates a camping holiday. This option makes the campsite accessible and attractive to campers who appreciate the amenities of a departamento or a private bathroom, yet still want to enjoy camping life.
Nature and Environment: The True Capital
The location is undoubtedly its greatest asset. The campsite borders directly on the Odoorn Forestry, a vast woodland where dogs are allowed to run free. This makes De Hoge Bomen a true paradise for dog owners. The ability to walk straight into the woods from the campsite for a long walk with your dog is a rare and highly appreciated advantage. About a kilometer away is Lake Loomeer, a swimming lake where both people and dogs can cool off on hot days. The proximity of such natural recreational opportunities is a significant plus. The campsite's atmosphere is further enhanced by the surrounding nature, including fields of sunflowers and the abundance of birds, which contribute to the feeling of an authentic hospedaje surrounded by nature.
An Oasis of Peace
The emphasis here is on tranquility. Guests looking for a lively campsite with animation teams and evening entertainment won't find what they're looking for here. This isn't a bustling posada or a lively albergue . De Hoge Bomen is a refuge for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Visitors consistently find the tranquility refreshing. The sounds you hear are those of nature. This makes the campsite an ideal base for activities like cycling and hiking, for which the province of Drenthe is renowned. The well-maintained cycle paths begin practically on the doorstep and lead through the region's picturesque landscapes.
Hospitality and Service
The campsite owner is often praised for his friendliness and helpfulness. Reviews mention a "well-thought-out owner" who goes out of his way to make his guests' stay as pleasant as possible. A striking example is a guest with disabilities who was proactively assigned a spot close to the restrooms, without sacrificing a beautiful view. This personal attention and service-oriented approach contribute significantly to the positive overall experience and give the campsite a warm and welcoming character. Furthermore, the availability of well-functioning Wi-Fi throughout the site is considered a modern and pleasant convenience.
Points of Attention for Potential Guests
Despite the many positive aspects, there's one important practical point to consider. The rural and remote location, which contributes so much to the tranquility, also means that amenities aren't right around the corner. For daily groceries, you'll have to drive a bit. There's no camping shop, and the nearest supermarket is some distance away. Potential visitors should be prepared for this and plan their purchases accordingly. This isn't a disadvantage for those who consciously choose seclusion, but it's crucial for those who value convenience and immediate access to shops. It's a trade-off between serene seclusion and the convenience of urban amenities.
Who is The High Trees for?
De Hoge Bomen is the epitome of a rustic SVR campsite. It's the perfect choice for adult campers, couples, and those seeking peace and quiet who value space, nature, and tranquility. Dog owners will find it an ideal holiday destination thanks to the adjacent off-leash area. It's also an excellent base for avid cyclists and hikers. Those looking for a comfortable and peaceful alojamiento surrounded by nature, with the option of private sanitary facilities, will have an excellent experience here. However, those expecting entertainment, a swimming pool on the campsite itself, or shops within walking distance should consider a different type of hospedaje . De Hoge Bomen delivers exactly what it promises: a serene escape in the heart of Drenthe's countryside.
