Gelderland is the largest province in the Netherlands and the heart of the Dutch recreatiepark market. The Veluwe — the largest natural area in the Netherlands (1,100 km2 of forest and heathland) — concentrates hundreds of recreatieparken and is the most popular camping destination in the country. Cities such as Arnhem, Nijmegen, Apeldoorn, and Ede serve as gateways. Green Village delivers across all of Gelderland with static caravans from 7,744 euros.
Regulations
In Gelderland, recreatieparken on the Veluwe are licensed and regulated by the province and local gemeenten. Placement of static caravans in licensed parks does not require a separate omgevingsvergunning. The Veluwe is partially protected (Natura 2000, Hoge Veluwe National Park), but existing parks maintain their periodically renewed operating rights. VAT 21%.
Transport
Gelderland is in the centre of the Netherlands, reached from Portugal and from the UK. Transport is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division, and is included in the delivered price.
Pricing
The Veluwe is the premium recreatiepark market: new static caravan prices are higher (35,000-90,000 euros) but rental returns justify the investment. Rents in premium parks: 4,000 to 8,000 EUR/year. Rental return: 8,000 to 18,000 EUR/year in parks with pools and attractions (Center Parcs, Landal, Molecaten).
Installation
The Veluwe's soil is sandy and well-drained — ideal for static caravan installation. The moderate continental climate requires good insulation for winters with sub-zero temperatures. Veluwe recreatieparken offer high-quality infrastructure with full connections.
