2. B&B in a Vineyard

Ever wanted to stay in a vineyard? At Bed & Breakfast LCBT (Life Contains Beautiful Things), you’ll sleep amidst apple and pear trees in an urban vineyard. The owners made their dream a reality by buying their dream house, a city vineyard, and three cozy B&B lodges in a unique spot in the polder. The lodges are well-equipped, each with a covered terrace overlooking the vineyard and swimming pond. Located in Almere Oosterwold, it feels like the countryside, yet it's just a short distance from the city and all necessary amenities.

4. Camping Bungalow at Natuurcamping de Kemphaan

Do you enjoy camping but prefer a bit more comfort? Then the camping bungalow at Nature Camping De Kemphaan is perfect for you. This wooden cabin is surrounded by forest and directly adjoins the campsite. The peaceful location makes it feel less like camping and more like having your own private retreat. You can choose between a larger 24m² camping bungalow or a smaller 11m² version, both equipped with kitchen facilities such as a refrigerator, four-burner gas stove, coffee maker, kettle, pots, and full tableware. In the morning, you're surprised with a delightful breakfast service: fresh bread rolls, juice, and yogurt with fruit, personally delivered to your bungalow. A wonderful way to wake up!

An extra tip for those staying here over the weekend: every Saturday morning, the Stadsboerderij (City Farm) at De Kemphaan organizes a farmer's market from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM. This charming market is located just across from the campsite, with dozens of stalls offering organic products, such as homemade banana bread.
