Why a lodge is perfect for an adventurous holiday

Adventure calls for energy. And energy only comes when you sleep well, eat well, and take time to unwind. That is why a lodge is the perfect base.

In a Lodge Holidays lodge, nature is literally on your doorstep, alongside all the comfort you need to recharge. After a long day outdoors, you step into a warm shower, prepare a meal in the outdoor kitchen, or simply sink into a chair on the terrace.

The following morning, you are refreshed and ready for another day full of discovery.

All about adventurous holiday

The options vary by destination. In Croatia (Heart of Nature): canoeing, rafting, walking through unspoilt nature and swimming in crystal-clear rivers. In the Dordogne (France): kayaking on the river, rock climbing and cave tours. In the Pyrenees: mountain biking and mountain walking. In Italy: cycling through the hills of Le Marche, snorkelling on the Adriatic coast and walking in the Dolomites. In Friesland: paddleboarding, sailing and cycling along the lakes.

Croatia is one of our most adventurous destinations. Heart of Nature lies in the green inland countryside, surrounded by unspoilt nature. Here you can canoe on clear rivers, walk through forests and swim in natural swimming spots. The campsite itself is small-scale and peaceful, but the surrounding area offers endless possibilities for outdoor adventure. Travel time from the Netherlands is around 12-14 hours — perfect to combine with a stopover in Slovenia.

Most activities are within 10-30 minutes of the campsite. On every campsite page you'll find an interactive map with exact distances to beaches, walking routes, bike hire, rivers and other activities. Many campsites also offer activities on site, such as swimming, table tennis and pétanque. At some campsites you can head straight onto the water or into nature from the campsite itself.

Yes, at almost every campsite there's space to store your own bike, canoe or SUP board. There are also excellent local hire options. In the Dordogne you can hire canoes for day trips on the river. In Friesland, sloop hire is possible. In Italy there are e-bikes for hire to explore the hills. Ask Rink-Jan about the options at your chosen campsite.

That's exactly the concept of glamping at Lodge Holidays: adventure by day, luxury comfort by night. After a day full of activities, you come back to your lodge with a warm shower in your own bathroom, a wonderful bed with a quality mattress and a fully equipped kitchen to prepare a meal. The covered terrace with outdoor kitchen and barbecue is the perfect place to look back on the day with a drink in hand.

Croatia (Heart of Nature) and the French Pyrenees score highest for adventure and outdoor activities. Croatia offers canoeing, rafting, walking and swimming in unspoilt nature. The Pyrenees are ideal for mountain biking and mountain walking. The Dordogne combines water and land activities: kayaking, rock climbing and cycling. For watersports close to home, Friesland (sailing, paddleboarding, canoeing) is an excellent choice.
