First Time Motorhoming in Holland

We've been lucky to have had some wonderful holidays in The Netherlands. The Zeeland area is flat and wonderful for bikes and sandy beaches.

Groningen area, as previously mentioned, is also interesting. They have quite a few nature reserves in the whole NW area. In summer try the islands such as Texel, catching a ferry from the mainland. Good for birds. As are the islands off the coast of Groningen, which stretch around to Germany.

The Limburg area is a bit hillier but Valkenburg and Maastricht are worth visiting. You'll find the Dutch train service to be excellent for access.

One thing not mentioned is that there are a few sites that won't allow M/Hs to be taken off site during your anticipated stay or they may ask you to stay in a certain area, away from the car free caravan pitches. Not many sites do this but we have come across it. In fact the last 2 we stayed at in Limburg both had vehicular restrictions.

The Dutch are excellent hosts and we look forward to returning soon, perhaps having 2 weeks in Autumn.

BTW - We've always found it more polite to refer to Holland as The Netherlands. A bit like visitors to our place just mentioning England.

Arendshorst camping site in East Holland is a great place to stay if you want to do lots of cycling.  The Dutch are buildin more cycle tracks that go through the countryside rather than nest to roads.  From the site there are 2 directions of new cycle path that takes you through fields, meadows and rivers.  We have been to Holland cycling for over 20 years.  We always stay in the countryside.  There are always small towns to cycle to and if you want a day out in the city go on the train or car.
