EuroParcs Ruinen campsite is located in the hamlet of Engeland on the edge of the Dwingelderveld national park, a vast heathland landscape between the charming villages of Ruinen and Dwingeloo. Ruinen is a village with a green, restaurants and a supermarket. Also worth a visit: the vast heathlands and woods and the many typical Drenthe villages around the campsite.

Camping or glamping?

EuroParcs Ruinen is spaciously laid out with play equipment in the fields in the shelter of the forest. The pitches are at least 100 m2 large and consist of grassland over sandy soil. You can choose from a basic comfort pitch or a basic comfort pitch with private bathroom facilities. Thanks to the layout of the fields, you almost always have enough privacy.

Rental accommodation

The campsite rents out a great variety of accommodations, from safari tents to what are called Drenthe 'kappen' (little farmhouses). New are the luxury lodges that are available all year round and which are equipped with every possible amenity.

Activities

The campsite has a large indoor swimming pool with a separate paddling pool. The pool is always 28 degrees and the indoor temperature is even a few degrees higher. This way, it always feels comfortable when you get out of the water. The municipal swimming pool (for a fee) is also next to the campsite and has three more baths and high water slides. In the high season, there is entertainment for children organised.

€27 per night during lowseason
Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Liked - Zwembad, gebruik mogen maken van het buitenbad, broodjesservice, midgetgolf, onderdelen vd animatie, vriendelijk personeel.
Disliked - Bevoorrading van het eten/drinken was niet consistent. De verhuur van de e-chopper(en evt fietsen) ook mogelijk maken buiten openingstijden vd receptie.

The people from reception they don’t know what they are there for .they don’t have ‘’time’s’ to give any details .they don’t have any idea about people bookings. they asking different deposit. I asked people around there; some paid low deposit and some higher, depending on how people from reception see you.

Travelling party: Family with children, various ages

Voor de overname in januari 2021 was dit een vriendelijke, hygiënische en fijne camping. Europarcs heeft de camping overgenomen en gaat voor het snelle geld. Campinggasten zijn niet meer belangrijk en krijgen geen aandacht. Zolang het uiterlijk vertoon maar aanwezig is dan vinden ze het prima.
De hygiëne was om te huilen, soms 2 dagen geen schoonmaak en als we geluk hadden dan kwam er een ingehuurde schoonmaker om half 11.
Het restaurant is om te huilen, incompetent personeel, slechte keuken en slechte tijden in het hoogseizoen. (Sluitingstijden om 20:00 kan echt niet)
De animatie werd om de week \"ingewisseld\" met als dieptepunt de ingehuurde animatie die te druk met zichzelf was dan met daadwerkelijk het animeren. (Op verzoek van ouders luisterden ze uiteindelijk wel naar tips.)
Het parkmanagement heeft nog veel te leren ( of heeft niets geleerd).
Voor ons was dit de laatste keer in Ruinen.
Spijtig maar wel de realiteit.

Campingplaatsen op een ruim veld en men staat rondom. Ruime plekken en auto op parkeerplaats vlakbij. Door de vele bomen slecht bereik voor de sateliet. Zwembad is ook het openbaar bad voor het dorp. Binnenbad gratis, maar buitenbad niet. Wel tot in de avond luid gepraat i.v.m. zwemlessen. Op fietsafstand van het dorp met vele restaurants (ook afhalen) en grote supermarkt. Plek met prive sanitair is erg makkelijk met (klein) kinderen. Bij veel zon wordt dat wel erg heet binnenin.

Zeer prettig, we hadden een mooie plaats. We stonden tegenover het Ponny veld .
Jammer dag de Horeca al gesloten was.
