This huge nature campsite is part of the enchanting forest of Landgoed Mariahoeve in Papenvoort in Drenthe province. Founded in 1928, the former owners decided to start here the first nature campsite of The Netherlands. The current management feels blessed that they can take care of such a very special place in. The place also has a lake that facilitates swimming, boating and fishing.

An 'Artwork in Progress’ by Amsterdam-based artist _Geolinea_, this unique hand-painted cabin has an "Aboriginal art meets Keith Haring” vibe and is very popular with young people. Offering lots of privacy and quiet peace, it comes complete with a covered seating area, private fire pit, small refrigerator, electric heater, and a double bed.

Papenvoort is situated in the least populated part of the Netherlands; the triangle between Rolde, Borger and Gieten. A beautiful area with lots of woodland and lakes you can swim in like Nije Hemelriek at a 4.5km distance from Landgoed Mariahoeve. National Park Drentsche Aa is also close, just as Assen, the main city of Drenthe province and Groningen, the main city of Groningen province. Landgoed Mariahoeve is situated at de Hondsrug, a unique geological area thanks to the Ice Age. Nature lovers adore this area that is so quiet and spacious – very suitable for biking, walking and horse riding too.
