Accomodations for your stay
There is a holiday park just outside of Arnhem, only 10 min by car: https://www.droomparken.nl/hoogeveluwe
It is located directly opposite of the beautiful National Park Hoge Veluwe, were you can hike for a day.
A little bit further down the road, approximately 20 – 25 minutes drive there is another one: https://www.droomparken.nl/dezanding/
Then there is the Rijnhotel: https://www.nh-hotels.fr/hotel/nh-arnhem-rijnhotel
Not the cheapest, but located with a view on the river the Rijn.
If you like to stay in the middle of the center, but next to the Park Sonsbeek, check out https://www.hotel-molendal.nl/ . Limited availability, but it would be my preferred spot if I had to stay in Arnhem. The city center around the corner, the beautiful English style Sonsbeek Park as you backyard. And only 5 min walk from the train station.
Of course you can also check Airbnb
There is one beautiful camping, but they only have very limited places left: https://www.campingwarnsborn.nl/en/
