Fishing from the boat

Did you know that Camping & Holiday Park Bergumermeer has its own marina and trailer ramp? So you can easily bring your own fishing boat to go out on the 360-acre lake. The lake is on average 1.5 to 2 meters deep with a peat bottom.

Don't have your own boat? No problem. We also rent boats! Check out our offerings here.

Watch out for your own safety. This is because freight traffic uses the channel in the lake.
