De Grote Altena

Camping De Grote Altena sits on the banks of the Waal in Oosterhout, Gelderland, at the heart of the Betuwe — a characteristically Dutch landscape of rolling meadows and river dykes. The 4.

5-hectare site stretches roughly 490 meters along the river, and a large share of its pitches enjoy direct waterfront views where barges and small boats pass continuously.

The water is clean enough for swimming, and a beach protected by several groynes lines the riverbank. The well-maintained grass pitches accommodate tents, caravans, and motorhomes, with electricity and water hookups at each.

On-site amenities include a playground with open-air chess and a trampoline, a small fishing pond, and a snack bar with a riverside terrace. Cycling along the Polder Dyke is a popular activity, and anglers also have direct access to the Waal.

The village of Oosterhout is nearby for basic supplies.
