Ugh, just got your (front) tent up, starts raining... It can be a disappointment when your camping holiday is plagued by rainy weather. But don't let a little rain spoil your mood! At Camping de Berken, we understand that the weather can be unpredictable, which is why we've compiled a list of fun activities for when it's raining outside. Whether you're camping with your family, relatives or partner, these tips will help you make the most of your rainy day and still make it a memorable holiday.

Eight tips for a fun day, even when it rains

1. Play a game!

Play a game in your tent while the rain taps on the canvas: create a cosy atmosphere in your (front) tent and enjoy quality time with your company. Grab your favourite board games, cards or puzzles and let the rain form a background sound as you laugh and play together. This simple activity can make for great memories.

2. Come play in our indoor playground

Do the kids have energy to spare? Don't let the rain keep them inside. Come to our indoor playground, where children can have fun in the large climbing, scrambling, and sliding apparatus. While the little ones have fun, parents can relax with a cup of coffee and enjoy a good book in the living room.

3. Pay a visit to Fairytale Court Zuidlaren

Visit the Sprookjeshof and be enchanted by a world of fairy tales and adventure. Explore the beautiful fairytale forest, where the stories of old come to life again. But even if it rains cats and dogs, there is no need to worry at Sprookjeshof. Here you will find a large indoor play paradise where children can climb, clamber, run and slide to their heart's content, whatever the weather outside.

4. Read a book or magazine in the campsite's living room

Let your imagination run wild while losing yourself in a good book or magazine. Come to the campsite living room, where you can relax in comfortable chairs and enjoy the warm ambience. Let the rainy day be an invitation to immerse yourself in another world. If you do find yourself a little wet on the way from your seat to the living room. Then feel free to grab a cup of coffee or tea to warm up again!

5. Discover the indoor swimming pools of Assen and Veendam

A rainy day can be the perfect excuse to take a refreshing dip. Visit the indoor swimming pool in Veendam or Assen, where you can enjoy a relaxing swim session, try out slides or just relax in the hot tub. Don't let the rain stop you from having fun in the water!

6. Use this rainy day to wash ;)

OK, maybe not the most exciting activity, but a rainy day can be a perfect opportunity to do some household chores. At Camping de Berken, we have a launderette where you can easily do your laundry. That way, you can have your clothes fresh and clean again before heading off on your next adventures.

7. Visit the museum in Groningen or Assen

Let the rain lead you inside the fascinating world of art, history and culture. For example, visit the Drents museum in Assen or the Groninger museum in Groningen. Here you can enjoy wonderful exhibitions. And you will gain new knowledge in the meantime! Enrich your mind while the drops tap against the windows.

8. Plopsa Indoor Coevorden

For fans of Studio 100 characters, Plopsa Indoor Coevorden is an absolute must-do. This indoor amusement park offers a range of attractions, shows and encounters with beloved characters such as Gnome Plop and Mega Mindy. Experience fun and adventure regardless of the weather outside.
