Recreation Area Zuidpolder

The natural area Zuidpolder is located directly at the entrance of our park. An area with flowery meadows, forest plants, hiking and cycling trails, starting point for canoes,  petting  zoo  and a nature playground for children.

Scottish cattle

You can admire them every day. Please note that petting or feeding is not allowed.

Works of art

Most entrances to the Zuidpolder have beautiful works of art of birds, a total of twelve. The artworks are made of corten steel and aluminium. Ten birds stand on a 3 meter high pole and are really an eye    catcher. The other two birds swim in the water. The artworks are by Leo Heerkens.

Natural playgound Barendbos

Not far from our park is the natural playground Barendbos. This playground invites you to walk, play on the water and adventure. There is an observation tower, a ferry, an amphitheater, a water playground, a cable car, a rope bridge and a willow tunnel. All play equipment is made of natural materials.

In the middle of the playground there is a pond.

This is what our guests say:

As more than 9 years old, I am a satisfied customer and have a great time here. There are 2 boats of mine here, one in the summer in the harbor and in winter on shore and the other, a somewhat smaller boat, is on shore all year round. With that boat I make use of the wide and easy trailer slipway all year round. The terrain and the harbour are well maintained, very neat and tidy and it is well organized. What I am also happy with is that it is easily accessible and well secured. Without good and motivated staff this is of course not possible. I will stay here for a while!

It is with great pleasure that we have been visiting Recreatiepark de Oude Maas for many years. We stand with our tour caravan on - we think - one of the most beautiful places on the park, namely on one of the comfort pitches with a wonderful view over the river. Our boat is located in the marina next door because I love to fish on the Oude Maas. In the evening we sit in front of our caravan enjoying a drink and the sunset.

During the May holidays we camped with our girls (4 & 6 years old) on the field with the new playground. They had such a good time! In addition, the sanitary is new and clean, the staff friendly, and there is much to do in the immediate vicinity. We can recommend it to everyone!

Since 1998 we have been located at Recreatiepark de Oude Maas, then called Camping de Oude Maas. The past 20 years we have seen a lot of changes and improvements. There used to be a canteen and a phone booth because not everyone had a cell phone and you had to go to the cell to make a phone call. In 2001 chalets were placed and all mobile homes came together on 1 field where we are. The toilet blocks have been completely renovated and there are now underground containers for separated waste. Also all the paths have been recently refurbished and new mobile homes have been placed for rental but also for sale. We love it here on the campsite; it's quiet but still very cosy.

By coincidence we discovered the camper pitches at Recreatiepark de Oude Maas on our way to the South of France. Since that one time we come back regularly to relax for a couple of nights on one of the 11 camper pitches overlooking the marina or the river. They are spacious paved pitches with their own electricity and water. In the morning we get freshly baked sandwiches and croissants at the reception and look for a nice cycling route for that day. That's all you need, isn't it?
