Just returned from a 18 night stay at Arendshorst (June/July 24). The owner/staff are very friendly and there was plenty of space on the pitch, arranged around open fields. The toilets/showers (separate male/female with toilet paper & soap) were spotless and never had to queue. The hot water is on a payment card system and the amount used is deducted from the deposit taken on arrival. We took our own canoe and this was easy to launch from the site beach area. We paddled into Ommen and beyond where we found a sand/grassed area, ideal for a picnic just after the bridge in Ommen. You can paddle in the other direction however not as far due to the weir. On checking with the campsite we were advised that there is no licence needed to paddle on the river (unlike in the UK). My husband fished from the site (permit purchased from reception) and caught plenty of fish including the largest carp that he had ever caught. There are 2 small shops in Omen & Dalfsen where you can purchase bait and fishing equipment. We used the Park & Ride at Ommen train station to visit Zwolle (about 20 mins, approx 11.50 euros each) where there are multiple shops, bars and museums including a Primark and also another very large fishing accessory shop just outside the town centre. There is also a large market at Ommen on a Tuesday. I would recommend the use of a bike to explore the area unless you are happy to use your vehicle as there is nowhere close to walk to but there are miles and miles of flat cycle paths direct from the site (we covered 166 miles during our stay). Overall we enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.
