Pets Four-legged friends warmly welcome

At Camping Kotestee, you do not need to ask whether your dog is welcome. Dogs are simply part of the family. Before you have even unfolded your camping chair, your dog will have found a playmate or claimed a favourite bush. A little later, your dog trots to the edge of the campsite and discovers the perfect spot: a spacious exercise area where dogs can run off the lead, with flowers, interesting scents and views of the Westduinen. That’s the one: our five-star dog exercise area, a sociable meeting place for dogs and their owners.

Dogs welcome

There is no maximum number of dogs, provided they do not disturb other guests. Keep dogs on a lead around the campsite; they may run off the lead in the dog exercise area.
Naturally, please clean up after your dog.

Five-star dog exercise area

At the edge of the campsite, you will find a raised mound covered in grass and flowers: the perfect place for sniffing, digging or supervised off-lead exercise. This area is specially for dogs, helping keep the rest of the grounds peaceful and clean.

Dogs on the beach?

Certainly! Many beaches around Ouddorp welcome dogs. Please check the seasonal restrictions: from May to October, most areas require dogs to be on a lead between 10 am and 7 pm. Ask us on arrival about the current rules and the best beaches for dogs.

Other pets

A cat? A rabbit? A guinea pig with a taste for travel? As long as they are comfortable with camping and do not disturb others, they are generally welcome. Please contact us if you are unsure.

Explore nature with your dog

There are plenty of nature reserves around Camping Kotestee to explore together. Dogs usually need to stay on a lead to avoid disturbing birds, roe deer and other wildlife.

In the Preekhilpolder, dogs may run off the lead on top of the dyke after the breeding season, from 15 July. At the little beach near Stellendam harbour, in the easternmost part of De Kwade Hoek nature reserve, dogs may run off the lead all year round.
