Practical: combining Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen with a stay at Camping de Berken
Would you like to visit Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen and then return to peace and quiet? From Camping de Berken, it is about a 30-minute drive to Wildlands. Many families choose to combine a visit to Wildlands with several overnight stays, leaving time for walking, cycling or an extra day exploring the Drouwenerzand or swimming at the Gasselterveld.
Tip: If you are not planning to spend the whole day at Wildlands, it is advisable to park at the nearby Willinkplein car park. This car park is often cheaper than the day parking areas at the zoo itself, and you emerge directly onto the square in front of the Wildlands entrance. Ideal if you want to combine your visit with a short walk or a drink on a terrace in the centre of Emmen.
At the end of the day, you return to the calm and quiet of the campsite. This way, you combine an adventurous day out with relaxed enjoyment of the natural surroundings of Drenthe.

Zeer goede camping
Prachtige camping. Ruime plekken op het tentenveld. Zeer fijne omgeving voor kinderen om te spelen. Alles is zeer goed verzorgd en schoon. Medewerkers zijn vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Zeer de moeite waard.

Beautiful surroundings, lovely pitches, many young children
Despite it being the high season and school holidays, we had a lovely holiday thanks to the peaceful setting. There were (understandably) many young children, so mornings were quite lively. On the other hand, evenings were quiet early on. You can ask for a pitch a little further away from the play equipment if you prefer a calmer spot. The surroundings are also wonderful, with beautiful places (archaeology and geology) within walking and cycling distance. We will definitely return one day.

Top campsite!
Welcoming and spotlessly clean sanitary facilities

Fijne camping
We hebben een kort verblijf gehad op de camping en deze is uitstekend bevallen. Aan de rand van een bos(je) waarnaast je direct op de, in ons geval, bloeiende heide staat. Fietsroutes zijn direct vanaf de camping. De plaatsen op de camping zijn ruim tot erg ruim en netjes. Voor ons een reden om het volgende jaar terug te komen. Personeel van de camping is vriendelijk maar hebben we verder weinig contact mee gehad. Alles was gewoon goed voor elkaar.
