Nestled within the Drents-Friese Wold National Park, Boscamping Appelscha offers a serene retreat for nature lovers. The campsite spans five hectares of grassy terrain divided into five fields by hedges, surrounded by lush forest. Guests can choose from 57 tourist pitches measuring between 90 and 140 square meters, each providing ample space and privacy. For those seeking more comfort, there are 11 rental accommodations, including chalets and trekker huts, set apart from the touring pitches under shady trees. The campsite is open from late March to late October, welcoming families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Dogs are allowed, making it a great choice for pet owners. Children can enjoy the outdoor playgrounds, indoor play barn, and a small petting farm. The on-site Bospaviljoen restaurant serves delicious meals, and a snack bar offers takeaway options. Fresh bread can be ordered daily through the bread service. While there is no swimming pool on site, a natural lake is just five kilometers away, and both outdoor and indoor pools are within a short drive. The sanitary facilities are modern and include accessible units for guests with reduced mobility.

The campsite is car-free on the pitches, with parking nearby, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere. Hiking and cycling trails start right from the campsite, leading through heathlands and forests. Mountain bikers will find challenging routes in the area. Nearby attractions include the hunebedden (dolmens), the Drents Museum in Assen, and family-friendly parks like Kabouterland and Duinen Zathe.
