Minicampsite on an arable farm lokated in de Wieringermeerpolder, close to two forests Robbenoordbos and Dijkgatbos. The Catharina Hoeve lies at 2km. distance from the IJsselmeer en 3km. from the old fishing village Den Oever on the former island Wieringen. You will find the main village of the Wieringermeerpolder, Wieringerwerf, also close at hand. The campsiteplaces are divided by green, trees, hegges and bushes. The sanitary is clean and simple, the way it is expected on a small farm. Lovely place to be for lovers of natuur and water who would like to discover the area on foot or by bike.

Pumping station Leemans Stontelersluis
From 1930, the Leemans pumping station has ensured that the residents of the Wieringermeer keep their feet dry by pumping water from the polder. Until 1997 this was in the IJsselmeer. Because the water in the Wieringermeer is bad for nature and drinking water extraction due to so-called "saline seepage" (seawater that flows into the polder underground), it has been pumped directly into the Wadden Sea since 1997.
