Why Go Camping in Holland? By Stephen Lane At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

If it’s been a while since your last camping holiday, Holland’s campsites will be a revelation to you! Gone are the days when you would have to squelch across muddy fields and then drive to the nearest attraction. A tent or mobile home at Holland’s best campsites will see quality entertainment right on your doorstep!

My personal favourite is Camping Duinrell. To me, it’s definitely the best campsite in Holland. It’s set in the lush woodland surroundings of a nature reserve and boasts its own tropical waterpark and theme park, with plenty of entertainment available in the evenings. It’s family friendly and offers activities for both children and adults.

The Fine Weather

While Holland’s campsites are unlikely to beat their Spanish equivalents in terms of sunshine, you may be pleasantly surprised by the Dutch weather over the summer months. Between May and September, the average temperature is a warm 17-23 degrees centigrade, and if you choose the more off-season times of April or October, you’ll be treated to a temperate 13-15 degrees.

The Things to Do

You’re not short of things to do when you holiday in a tent or a mobile home in Holland. If you choose the Camping Duinrell site I praised earlier, you have a theme park right on your doorstep which features a selection of fun rides and attractions. What’s more, Duinrell Theme Park is free to those who are holidaying at the campsite, so there’s no excuse not to try every ride at least once! If this isn’t enough for you, De Efteling Theme Park in Kaatsheuvel is another one worth visiting with exciting rides based around the park’s magical fairytale theme.

If white knuckle rides aren’t your thing, you may want to consider the Hoge-Veluwe National Park. Covering 5,500 acres and made up of sands, heath and forests, the park showcases a wide range of wild animals including wild boar and red deer. It’s an hour and a half drive from my recommended Holland campsites and well worth it for nature lovers.

Elsewhere, Holland is blessed with some truly wonderful cities. Amsterdam is the most famous of course, with its superb range of galleries and museums. It’s also a picturesque city to wander round, and visitors can even enjoy the sights via a canal boat tour. Rotterdam is also worth a look, featuring over 30 museums and some truly wonderful architecture. Finally Delft – well known for its blue pottery – is about as idyllic as a town can be. Canals, arched bridges, calm courtyards, pretty churches and imposing mansions are the order of the day here.

With the credit crunch, camping is coming back in a big way, and Holland’s campsites deserve to be amongst the frontrunners. Not only are they all of an excellent standard, but camping in Holland allows you to take part in some wonderful activities, and see some world famous sights in the picture-postcard countryside of the Netherlands. If all of this sounds like your type of break, why not consider camping in a tent or mobile home in Holland next summer?
