DUINRELL is a superb family holiday resort, situated on the coast of Holland, north of Rotterdam.
The resort consists of a theme park set in beautiful countryside with shops, restaurants and accommodation.
There are three types of accommodation available. The Duinhostel, especially suited to groups and large families, camping and Duingalows (very nice chalets).

DUINRELL is a superb family holiday resort, situated on the coast of Holland, north of Rotterdam.
The resort consists of a theme park set in beautiful countryside with shops, restaurants and accommodation.
There are three types of accommodation available. The Duinhostel, especially suited to groups and large families, camping and Duingalows (very nice chalets).
Free admission to the vast amusement park is included in the price as well as free admission to the Tiki Pool between certain hours.
The amusement park does not have the latest state-of-the-art white-knuckle rides. It has a more relaxed feel and my three children (all aged under 10) couldn't get enough of it! There are some gentle roller coasters, and a boat that plunges into water from a great height. Although everything is free in the amusement park there are a few coin-operated amusement machines, but with so much free stuff to do, our kids showed very little interest in them.
The Tiki Pool is superb, with plenty of flumes, a Lazy River, hot whirlpools etc. and is certainly a good option for a rainy day.

The nearest town is Wasanaar, which is a 10-minute walk from the camp. It is a fairly affluent Dutch town and is the home of several Dutch TV celebrities. The shops tend to be a little up-market (the hand-made chocolate shop is well worth a visit), but there is a small supermarket and various cash machines.
From Wasanaar it is possible to catch busses to various towns including Rotterdam and Leiden. Remember to buy tickets in advance from the Post Office (it saves money). Also remember to queue for a bus the Dutch way. It is not necessary to make a mental note of all the people who were at the bus stop before you, or who arrived after you. You do not have to stand in any particular order. It does not matter if the last person to arrive at the bus stop gets on the bus first.
Overall I would recommend a week at Duinrell for any family with children in the 6-11 age range.
Advantages: Everything you could possibly want from a family holiday Disadvantages: Can't think of any!!!!!
We have visited Duinrell on 5 occasions, the most recent being the week 11.9.04 to 18.9.04. We have two older children and a 2 year old and absolutely love the place. We stay with UK based tour operators such as Canvas although there are other companies such as Eurocamp and Keycamp. This form of holiday can offer excellent value for money as the price of the holiday includes both accomodation and channel crossings (from UK and Ireland). If you already ... ...the theme park. Duinrell is located about 15 minutes away from The Hague (Den Haag) and about 45 minutes away from Amsterdam. It lies just inland from an award winning beach and on the edge of Wassenaar's beautiful shopping street (Langstraat). The theme park (free for people staying at the campsite) comprises many rides and attractions for all ages but my eldest (13) would prefer more "adult" rides!. The park contains so many hidden activities and ...

Advantages: Great place for all the family Disadvantages: Not for people with phobia of frogs!
Duinrell is not just an amusement park but a campsite as well. My experience of this place is from working on the campsite for a camping holiday company. It is ideally situated about 30 minutes drive north of The Hague in the Netherlands almost equally distant from the ferry port at Rotterdam to the airport at Amsterdam.
This place is fantastic. The campsite is huge with not just camp areas but quite a few different companies on there (the three ... ...to Wassenarseslag until signs for Duinrell appear, then follow them.
Anyway everyone should all go and have great fun. This is an ideal base from which to tour the whole of the Netherlands so you could have a 3 week holiday and still have things to see. ...

Advantages: plenty to do for all ages Disadvantages: the amusements close at 5pm
Duinrell is a camping park complex which has its very own mini theme park. Easily reached from the ferry port at Den Hague - it is about an hours drive. We have stayed at this park several times now usually at Easter or Spring Bank time.
We usually book through one of the British Camping companies and stay in a mobile home, although you can book direct with Duinrell and stay in one of their "Duingalows".
There is plenty to do for kids of all ages ... ...for the teenagers, although there is a height restriction on some of the rides. There is a nice country walk around the boundary of the camp for us oldies.
The main amusements close at 5pm, but there is also the 'Tiki' Pool complex which houses some of the longest water slides in europe - this stays open until 10pm. Staying on site allows free access between 10am and 2pm, but you do have to pay a small extra to use the pools at any other time.
