Camping de Leistert is a 5-star campsite and vacation park in one. The park is located in Limburg and is also called one of the most beautiful campsites in the Netherlands. At Camping de Leistert, the whole family will have fun, from young to old. It is a super child-friendly and attractive campground. There is so much to do here that you don’t have to go anywhere else. For example, there are several swimming pools, from a subtropical swimming paradise to a lovely swimming pond, as well as an outdoor pool and a water playground. Should the weather be less, there is also plenty to do inside as there are two indoor playgrounds, you can go bowling and much more. You can also enjoy fine dining at one of the four restaurants. In short, you will find everything you need for a relaxing vacation, with and without children.
Camping de Leistert is located in Roggel, a small town in Limburg between Venlo, Weert and Roermond. Next to the park you have a nice forest and the nature reserve Leudal is around the corner. The Groote Peel nature reserve is also nearby, where you can enjoy hiking and biking with the whole family.
If you feel like shopping, Roermond is a good choice. You’ll also find the Designer Outlet Center there. Or take a day trip to burgundy Maastricht, where you can enjoy great food and shopping.
Toverland amusement park is a super fun park for the whole family. There are roller coasters, many types of rides and live shows.
If you want to drive a little further, GaiaZOO in Kerkrade is also highly recommended. This amazing zoo is beautifully landscaped and in one day you will travel around the world. There are red pandas, giraffes and gorillas. But also lions, zebras and flamingos. The park has won ANWB’s “Funniest Outing in the Netherlands” several times for good reason.
There is a large campground where you can choose from many different types of pitches. All are spacious sites, of at least 90m2. If you want to come camping with your pet, it is possible here. But there are also special spots where cars are not allowed, where you have extra privacy, spots with a playground equipment or pitches with private sanitary facilities. The campground looks very well kept and maintained. There is plenty for children to do and they will love it here.
Would you rather rent camping accommodation at the campground? Then that is also possible. There is a range of different kinds and types of safari tents, from fairly standard to very luxurious glamping tents. You can also rent lodges and cabins.
The plumbing at the campground is very clean and is cleaned throughout the day. For the smallest children and babies, there are separate areas where you can nurse/shower them. This is kind of nice.
In addition to the large campsite, Camping de Leistert also has a large vacation park with bungalow houses. These super luxury vacation homes are built in a sleek and farmhouse style and are fully equipped. Thus, only A-brands have been used and the houses are all very solid and luxurious.
You will find bungalows for all group sizes and group compositions. If you come to vacation with children, there are bungalows equipped with Kids Special versions. These have children’s-themed bedrooms with sturdy bunk beds. The gardens are fenced, there is a washer-dryer, special children’s furniture and are equipped with a wagon. If you are going to De Leistert with your whole family, rent a large bungalow for 12 to 18 people. If you want even more luxury, there are even bungalows with private wellness facilities such as a whirlpool and sauna.
The bungalows are a bit further away from the central plaza. If you are less agile, we recommend bringing a bicycle or renting one.
If you love swimming and water fun, Camping de Leistert is the right place! There is an indoor subtropical swimming pool, an outdoor wave pool, a water playground, a swimming pond and a rowing pond with a beach. Fishermen are also welcome here as there is also a separate fishing pond.
The subtropical swimming paradise welcomes you all year round. There is a large water slide and a family slide, which you can all slide down. There is also a (child-friendly) rapids and you can bubble in the hot whirlpools. There are two separate swimming pools and there is also a paddling pool with slide and play equipment for the little ones.
In summer, you can enjoy swimming outside in the outdoor wave pool. This pool is open from mid-May through the end of August and is always at least 21 degrees. Swing along on the waves or go down the slide. Here too is a separate paddling pool with some play equipment for the little ones. There is a green lounging area around the pool where you can take a rest from all that swimming.
If you prefer to lie on a beach, you can do so on the sunbathing area at the edge of the rowing pond. You can play in the water here or bring your rowboat and go for a boat ride. There are also several water games here, including water pumps, water shooters and a tow raft. There is also a rope and pole course for walking across the water.
Then you also have the water playground. Through rope bridges, step poles, boulder crossings you are led to the source of the stone stream. You can build dams and climb into the Jumbotors to slide down one of the slides. Even on a less than beautiful day, the kids will have a great time here!
If you like fishing, then that is also possible at this campground. In fact, there is a fishing pond where you can fish during the day for grass carp, among other things. You don’t need a permit.
As mentioned earlier, you don’t have to leave the campground during your vacation. If you don’t feel like cooking, there are no less than four restaurants to choose from where you can eat delicious food.
At the family restaurant Grillo, not all the food is prepared for you, as you have to do your own work here. In fact, each table has a table grill and you can choose what you eat: meat, fish or veggie appetizers. If you want to have breakfast in the morning, this restaurant also serves it. And the egg fry yourself on the table grill!
Via Verde is the restaurant located in the middle of the Plaza and is a real family restaurant. You can eat tasty pizza and pasta, as well as a steak, hamburger or a nice fish dish. With its open feel and playground around the corner, you can eat here at your leisure and the kids can play. At Via Verde you can have lunch and dinner, but you can also come here for a nice cup of coffee and a piece of flan. At Via Verde you can also pick up pizzas, in case you don’t feel like cooking for yourself for once but you want to eat at your own accommodation.
The third restaurant is La Selva Food & Drinks. Here you will eat diverse and affordable dishes suitable for the whole family. The restaurant is adjacent to the large indoor play jungle so your kids can climb and scramble while you sit quietly at a table eating.
Reservations for these restaurants are easily made through the campground website.
If you’re in the mood for a greasy bite, then there’s still Mr. B. Fries. At this cafeteria, you can order fries and snacks and take them with you, or eat them right there on the spot. There is a large terrace and that in turn adjoins the large playground.
If you are at the weekend or in a Dutch and/or Belgian school vacation, the animation team organizes all kinds of activities. The enthusiastic team organizes a packed program of activities for young and old. They have programs for all age groups, such as 0+, 4+, 8+, 12+ and there is also a program for adults. The Klushuis is the place to be for all kinds of creative arts and crafts activities: you can cut, carpenter, saw and glue. Furthermore, the program is full of fun activities such as musical chairs, bootcamps, games, sports competitions, mini disco and quizzes. The team makes sure your child has a good time. The mascots Pluck and Pien will also make regular appearances.
There’s so much to do at this campground, your kids will have a hard time choosing. As described earlier, the real water rats can have their fun here with the various pools.
There are also two indoor playgrounds, including the play jungle. Here you can find 15 wooden playground equipment where you can climb and clamber through the sandy area, slide down the big slide and climb like a monkey with ropes. And the best part is, parents can sit on the terrace of La Selva Food & Drinks restaurant while the kids are playing.
In the plaza you also have the indoor play area where the children can climb and clamber, while parents and grandparents enjoy a drink at leisure on Via Verde’s terrace.
Not only can you play nicely inside, outside is even more fun. There is the Jumbotors with slides, a water playground, a tow raft, skate half-pipe, a family swing, a sandbox and much more. Go cross-country on the bicycle cross-country tracks or play a game of Billiards. At the bowling alley, the whole family can show off their skills or play a game of Adventure Golf: miniature golf but a touch more adventurous.
In the plaza is a large supermarket with a wide selection of food and beverages. Here you will also get fresh rolls and croissants for breakfast in the morning. But you can also buy camping supplies, reading materials, decorations and toys.
If you are staying in a rental property, you can order your groceries online in advance and this will be ready in your cottage upon arrival! What a luxury.
Electric charging stations are available.
Pets are welcome, please note which accommodations.
From the resort it is quite a long walk to the plaza and pool. If you are less agile, it is wise to bring a bicycle, for example. Some accommodations include a wagon.
