Cnossen Leekstermeer

Cnossen Leekstermeer is a watersports-focused campground situated within nature reserve De Onlanden near the village of Nietap in the Kop van Drenthe region.

The site sits centrally between Drachten, Assen, and Groningen, placing it within easy reach of several major northern Dutch cities.

Pitches are spacious and grassy, many positioned directly on the water's edge with views over the Leekstermeer; chalets and glamping tents are also available for those without their own gear. Water recreation is the campground's defining feature.

Guests can rent canoes, sailing boats, motorboats, rowing boats, and electric whisper boats, while a sailing and windsurfing school offers lessons for all levels.

A shallow beach with a sunbathing area suits young children, and a swimming raft and balance beam provide entertainment for older kids.

The surrounding nature reserve supports walking and cycling, and the site runs wildlife classes and organized activities including a boat-decorating competition.
