Venue  http://www.vlugtenburg.nl/

The park is very suitable for young families as well as couples, for those who love going to the beach, and particularly for those who seek an active holiday and wish to enjoy the nearby dunes. Doing whatever you like, relaxing or enjoying the many activities available, visiting nearby cities or museums; everything is possible, with sun, sea, and beach as key elements. Our situation near the beach and dune bands and our facilities make our park an ideal play to spend your holiday in all seasons.

    So far their flyer... Suitable for families and couples... 
    Very suitable for hashers as well. Of course we did not 
    mention that we are the Hash House Harriers, they 
    might look us up on the Internet and than decide to 
    cancel the deal. Most important part, beach nearby for 
    swimming. Dunes for those who like to climb and lots 
    of privacy. The party will be on the beach, in one of the 
    beach restaurants.

Where to find us?

Hidden between the many dune strips of the beautiful municipality Westland, Vlugtenburg can be found there where all roads to the beach end. It lies only 300 meters from the beach itself and is easily accessible, with all the major cities of the Netherlands close by.



What to do when visiting our park?

There is much to do and even more to see in the cities that surround our park. The Hague, Delft, Leiden, and Rotterdam are all within a 20 kilometre radius, while Breda, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Tilburg, and Den Bosch lie just beyond that. Vlugtenburg itself is the perfect base to start exploring the area by bike or on foot. There are many outdoor activities, such as (kite) surfing, horseback riding, waterskiing, canoeing, and playing golf.

    ....Forget all about this, we will keep you busy the whole weekend. If there 
    is some time left, Hush Puppies will organise his infamous H4 games......
