  • Does anyone have any general experience of camping in the Netherlands? We’re going next week for a week of cycling and have done very little planning.

    Is picking a campsite to head to each day and just turning up foolhardy?

    Thanks

  • Just showing up will generally work. You can check beforehand is the camping has a "trekkersveld" which is just an area to put tents up on without reserved spaces.

    Natuurcampings are the nicest ones imo https://www.natuurkampeerterreinen.nl/?lang=en you need to become yearly member, which you can do online ahead, or just at the camping, they wont turn you away. Its really nice.

    Where are you headed?

  • Thanks that so useful. We looked at the natuurcampings but the translation read like you needed the physical card before you showed up. Glad that isn’t the case. We’ve seen a lot of ‘minicamping’ places which I guess is just people with space in their yards?

    We’re going roughly Hook of Holland > Biesbosch > Den Bosch > maybe Apeldoorn and Zwolle > then staying at friends in Utrecht for a couple of nights before back to Hook.

    Taking advice of following the rivers and going to some national parks - but would take any recommendations. Only aiming for 80 - 100km a day and lots of stopping.
