Croy motorhome pitch

Who would not want to be woken up by the singing of birds, surrounded by meadows, woods and the murmur of a creek on their holiday? There is room for fifteen motorhomes at the Croy motorhome pitch, a small-scale campsite in the centre of the greenness of Croy Castle. Its unique layout of two roundabouts offers every paved pitch a beautiful view of the surrounding estate. In addition, this new motorhome pitch site (opened in 2021) distinguishes itself with its spacious pitches, good amenities, plenty of great geocaches and numerous hiking and cycling routes. In other words: the ideal base for exploring the Land van de Peel.

Estate, castle and surrounding area
The 15th-century Croy Castle is also known for its unique surrounding landscape where it is possible to go hiking or cycling. For example, there is the only remaining Hagelkruis (hail cross) monument in the Netherlands, which in earlier times was believed to fend off damage to crops by hail. The motorhome pitch is also located next to national cycling junction and walking tour networks. This means that the Vincent van Gogh cycle route, as well as other, goes past Croy. The cycling junction maps in the information booth will show you the right route. The centre of Helmond is a stone’s throw away, and the cycling junctions will take you to the Van Gogh village of Nuenen or the bustling city of Eindhoven. If going on foot, the Stiphoutse Bossen nature reserve is recommended. And the best part is that the woods are just around the corner!

Geocaching and other activities
Other fun places of interest in the area are the Boerenbondsmuseum (Agricultural Museum) in Gemert, the Edah supermarket museum in Helmond and the Van Gogh Village Museum in Nuenen. Cyclists like to explore the 1500 hectares of the Strabrechtse Heide. Or you can go geocaching, a treasure hunt that combines the real world with the digital world, based on GPS coordinates. An earlier guest states that this is one of the reasons to choose this motorhome pitch (more often): “A beautifully laid out location with a good wifi connection, a nice hot shower and plenty of great geocaches in the area. We will certainly come back!”
