What to expect during the works
During the discount period, our team is preparing for the replacement of four Korhoen houses. The work may include carpentry, excavation, and removal of chalets. While we always aim to minimize disruption, occasional noise can be heard in parts of the park during this time.
What won’t change is what guests come here for: a quiet, natural setting in the heart of the Veluwe. Het Lorkenbos remains a small-scale, restful holiday park where you won’t encounter big parties—just nature, space, and a relaxed pace. Children can still enjoy the playgrounds and go-karts to borrow, and our team is on hand to advise on scenic walks, cycling routes, and easy outings in the area.
Where to find even more peace and quiet on the park
Het Lorkenbos is designed around tranquility and the outdoors. Even with intermittent work near the Korhoen houses, there are many corners of the park and surrounding nature to unwind.
- Nature first: the park is surrounded by forest, heath, and sand—ideal for slow mornings, strolls, and wildlife-spotting.
- Ask us for a quieter spot: when you book, you can note a preference for a location farther from the works; we’ll do our best to match it subject to availability.
- Choose accommodation that leans into nature: for a cozy, romantic base, consider Type Berken (2p)—a tiny house that sits on the edge of the heath field. Explore it here: Bungalow Type Berken 2p.
- For larger groups, Family House De Spar (16p) offers space and accessibility; it’s a wheelchair-friendly family home featuring 1 high–low bed, floor heating, and 3 kitchens: De Spar 16p.
- Curious about the replacement? Our new type Korhoen (4p) is a beautiful, modern bungalow for four—have a look: Nieuwe type Korhoen 4p.
Make the most of the Veluwe—beyond the work zone
The Veluwe is one of the Netherlands’ most celebrated natural regions, and Het Lorkenbos sits right in its forest-rich heart. The entrance to De Hoge Veluwe National Park—home to the renowned Kröller-Müller Museum—is less than three kilometers from the park. That means it’s easy to plan day trips that are as peaceful or active as you like.
Here are easy ways to shape your days while occasional works are underway:
- Connect with nature: dawn and dusk walks can reward you with sightings of deer or wild boar. Our reception gladly shares the best paths and quiet times.
- Get moving: the Veluwe lends itself to cycling and walking—ask us for route ideas tailored to your pace and interests.
- Family-friendly fun: nearby options include climbing forests, swimming, and horse riding.
- On-park comforts: stop by Brasserie Roekel on Het Lorkenbos for a relaxed meal; let the kids play in the playgrounds or ride the go-karts.
- Take a breather: Het Lorkenbos emphasizes privacy and calm; we respect your need for rest as much as we enjoy sharing tips.
