De Boogaard

De Boogaard is a small campground of about 40 pitches set in the floodplains (uiterwaarden) of the Hollandse IJssel, in the Groene Hart of the Netherlands near the village of Hekendorp.

The site sits directly along the river beneath fruit trees, offering a quiet, nature-focused setting. The historic town of Oudewater is roughly 2. 5–3 km away.

The river is suitable for swimming, fishing, and paddling, and canoes and SUP boards can be launched directly from the campground.

Several long-distance walking routes pass alongside the site, including the Floris V and Hollandse IJssel trails, and the Lopikerwaard canoe route runs through the area. Excellent cycling routes are also available in the surrounding countryside.

The campground is open from 1 April to 1 October.
