Do you love the beach and water sports? Then Camping de Schotsman is the ideal campsite for you. This 4-star RCN campground is right on Lake Veere, and they rent out almost anything you can take on the water. There is also an outdoor (heated) and indoor pool at the campground, with slides, and a fun activity program. You can have great food and across the park are several playgrounds. From the campground there are also plenty of trips to make, such as a visit to Neeltje Jans, Middelburg and Veere.
Camping de Schotsman is super centrally located in Zeeland, in Kamperland to be exact. The campsite is right on Lake Veere overlooking Veere, but you’re also right on the beach and near the Oosterschelde. The cleanest beach in the Netherlands, Banjaardstrand, is just 3 km from the campsite. The campground is located in the nature reserve de Schotsman, a former sandbar which is now a beautiful hiking and biking area.
If you want to get out for the day, you have more than enough choices for one vacation. For example, a visit to Neeltje Jans and the Delta Works is, of course, a must. However, the towns of Veere and Middelburg are also recommended visits. For a more active day, a visit to the reptile zoo Iguana is a nice idea. Or go to the Arsenal in Vlissingen, which is a pirate park and sea aquarium.
Camping de Schotsman is an RCN campsite and they are known for their spacious pitches. The sites are at least 80 m2 in size and overlook the water or are nicely sheltered among the trees and shrubs. Electricity (10A) is included in the price and a water point is on your pitch or nearby. For all spots, a maximum of 7 people are allowed to stay. Pets are allowed (limited).

Camping de Schotsman is perfect for water rats! With its location right on Lake Veere, it is impossible not to enjoy all that the lake has to offer you. The campground offers rentals of almost every water sport you can think of. Therefore, it is the place for an active and adventurous water sports vacation. You can windsurf there and they also offer windsurfing lessons. If you want to learn to sail, there is a sailing school at the campground that offers lessons for young and old. If you want to take it a little easier, rent a boat or rent a SUP or kayak for a little more action. There is also a cable water ski slope and an aqua park with inflatable equipment. Since the campground has its own jetty, you can bring your own boat to sail on Lake Veere.
In addition to Lake Veere for cooling off, the campground has a heated outdoor pool with two different slides. There is a separate pool for the little ones. The outdoor pool is open between May and September. But that’s not all, because there is also an indoor pool where you can have a nice swim.
During or after an active day on and around the water, it’s nice that you don’t have to leave the campsite when you get hungry. In the brasserie you can have a delicious lunch and in the evening a quick or extensive dinner. In nice weather, you’ll want to take a seat on the terrace because from there you’ll have a nice view of Lake Veere. The dishes have something for everyone: from croquettes to a tasty lunch plan or an avocado burger. In the evening, you can also choose from such dishes as a good fried steak, salmon or fish & chips. Be sure to leave room for dessert because you’ll want to try them all once. If you just feel like a cup of coffee, a piece of cake, an ice cream or just a drink, this is the place to be.
In high season and school vacations, there is a very nice animation team on the campsite who organize all kinds of fun activities to keep your child, as well as yourself, busy. In the craft club, children can create the most beautiful works of art, and for the little ones (up to 5 years old) there is toddler fun. They play fun & educational games, such as finger painting, read-aloud stories and more. In addition, scavenger hunts are organized as well as various sports tournaments and play activities. There are also regular dance and theater shows or game shows.
On the days when there is no animation team, children can work on their own with the Crumb trail club. You earn stickers by doing various cool tasks scattered throughout the park. If your pass is full, you can pick up a gift at the front desk. On days when Alex & Sammie are present, then you can join them on the road to earn the stickers.
Across the campground you will find several playgrounds where children can enjoy playing. If the weather is a little less, there is a super fun indoor playground at the campground. There are also trampolines and tennis courts available (for a fee).
But the most fun activities can be found here on the water. As mentioned earlier, you can try a different water sport here almost every day. Sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, supping, kayaking, boating: it’s all possible here.
The beautiful surroundings of Camping de Schotsman are best viewed from a bicycle. If you can’t bring your own bike, you can rent one at the campground. You can choose from tour bikes, children’s bikes, e-bikes, cargo bikes, tandems and mountain bikes. Ask at the front desk for the best biking routes!
There is no longer a full-fledged supermarket at Camping de Schotsman. However, you will find a kiosk with a small grocery corner for much-needed groceries. You can also get coffee-to-go, hot chocolate and order fresh sandwiches.
For major groceries, the nearest supermarkets are Albert Heijn and Aldi in Kamperland.
