Franse Kamp, Nature area in Gooise Meren, Netherlands

The Franse Kamp spans 49 hectares of land, featuring a mix of heathland and forest with pine trees and birches allowing sunlight to reach the ground.

In 1809, the area served as a military encampment for four thousand soldiers under the command of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte during the summer months.

The forest and heathland accommodate various outdoor activities including cycling, walking, and horseback riding throughout different sections of the reserve.

The camping ground section contains 380 spots and operates seasonally from April 1st to September 30th for caravans, mobile homes, and tents.

During winter months between October and March, dogs can run freely in the area provided they respond to their owners' commands.
