Walking with your dog around the campsite
The area around Camping de Berken is ideal for campers who want to go out with their dog. From our dog-friendly campsite in Drenthe you walk straight into the forest and you can choose from several routes, suitable for both short walks and longer hikes.
Forest area directly next to the campsite
From the campsite you step straight into the woods. This quiet, easy-to-follow area is very suitable for a short morning or evening walk with your dog.
Gasselterheide – within walking distance
A varied nature area with wide paths, open sections and quieter forest tracks. It is a pleasant place for dogs that like to explore, sniff and move around.
Walking routes around the Drouwenerzand
The core nature reserve is not accessible for dogs, but the surrounding routes are. These are calm paths with little disturbance – comfortable for dogs that are quickly distracted or sensitive to busy environments.
Forests towards the Boomkroonpad
A larger forest area where you can make longer walks together. Dogs must be kept on a lead here, but there is plenty of space and a good choice of clearly marked routes.
Off-lead area Ellertshaar (± 20 minutes)
Suitable for dogs that enjoy running freely and swimming. This area offers water, open sections and wide paths.
Off-lead zones towards Gieten
Several smaller off-lead sections, useful for shorter walks when you don’t want to travel far.
