Early Spring Splash: Dive into Wildhoeve’s Indoor Swimming Paradise from 1 April

Ready to swap chilly spring days for warm water and happy splashes? From 1 April, you can dive straight into Wildhoeve’s indoor swimming paradise—your heated haven for family fun at the very start of the camping season. Whether you’re planning a quick weekend escape or a full spring holiday, the pool, the forest setting, and our family-friendly facilities make early-season camping feel effortless and cozy.

When does Wildhoeve’s indoor pool open?

What to expect in the heated swimming paradise

Wildhoeve’s water offering is built for families. You’ll find several pools—including a heated swimming paradise—for a comfortable dip whatever the weather, plus an outdoor water playground for sunny spells. The warm water and relaxed atmosphere make it ideal for little ones and a soothing reset for adults after a forest walk or bike ride.

Highlights at a glance:

Tip: Pair a morning swim with a forest stroll in the Kroondomein right from the campsite gate, or plan a lazy lunch and then dip back in during the afternoon session.

Pool opening hours (by season)

Pool times are split into morning and afternoon sessions, with extended evening hours on select days.

Pro tip: Use the longer evening slots on Fridays and Saturdays in the low season to make the most of your day—adventures first, swim later.

The perfect early-spring base: comfort, calm, and nature on your doorstep

A great swim is even better when everything around it is simple and stress-free. That’s why Camping de Wildhoeve pairs warm water with practical comforts:

Plan your early April getaway (key dates, check-in, and bookings)

Good to know for early spring: Outside the peak season, the reception is closed on weekends, but information materials are laid out in the reception hall. From April through September, the team is reachable day and night in emergencies via intercom; an AED and first-aid post are located at reception.

Make a day of it: nature walks, cycling, and kid-approved fun
