Camping Thüringer Wald Holiday

Who are we?

We are Michel and Patricia Telgenhof Oude Koehorst. We are both from the Netherlands; Michel from Harbrinkhoek and Patricia from Almelo. In 2002, we moved from Almelo to Uelsen, just across the Dutch/German border, and in 2015 we moved further into Germany, to Thuringia, to start our own campsite.

The campsite is run by both of us, which means we do not employ any staff. What is important to us is that our guests feel at home, that there is room for a friendly chat, and that they can fully enjoy their holidays.
