A lovely, relaxed campsite in a top location
For several years now, after our holiday we decide once again to spend our autumn break at Camping de Berken the following year. A beautiful, spacious pitch with private sanitary facilities, direct access from the campsite to the purple heather route, lovely cycling routes starting right from the campsite, and excellent restaurants nearby. Here, we have everything we enjoy.

Nice campsite in a great location
What a lovely campsite. We had a very spacious spot for our camper van close to the entrance to the forest. The sanitary facilities were cleaned several times a day. The surrounding area is great for walking and cycling. I also liked the fact that there is a nice restaurant with a spacious terrace in the village of Gasselte. It's within walking distance of the campsite, which is great if you don't feel like cooking. There is also a restaurant next to the campsite. It looked fine. I didn't go there, so I can't say anything about it. You are also 5 km from Borger, where you will find all the amenities you need for shopping and restaurants.
