1. Camping Amsterdam aan Zee, Heemskerk

We start the camper tour Netherlands in this blog in Heemskerk, but you can of course start the tour at any of the locations.

This Camping Amsterdam aan Zee is a nice mini campsite right on the North Sea coast. There are 8 camping spots where you can go with your campervan. The campsite has good sanitary facilities and hot water showers are included. An added bonus: you can also empty your chemical toilet here. 

The camp space is centrally located between Amsterdam, Alkmaar and Haarlem. So if you want to take a trip, you can easily do so from this base. There is always plenty to do in Amsterdam, but Haarlem and Alkmaar are also very pleasant. Our tip: bring your bicycle! Then you can just leave your campervan on the camp site, because the cities are so close, you can easily go by bike. 

Not such a city person? Then this is still the right place for you. The camp space is located in a rural area and super close to the beach. The place therefore offers peace and quiet and is ideal for a nice walk through the dunes or a bike ride along the (bulb) fields. 

You can also surf, kite surf, horse ride, swim, fish and canoe nearby. Feel like a day on the town? Then visit the Zaanse Schans or Volendam.

2. Camping near Sneek

Heemskerk is a great place to spend a few days, so feel free to stay a few days! If you do want to move on, drive through Noord-Holland and over the Afsluitdijk to Loënga, near Sneek. You can park your camper here on spacious camper spaces in the back of Herma's garden. On the campspace you can find a toilet block with a toilet and hot shower.

Although Loënga is not a far drive from Heemskerk, here you are in a completely different world. From the camp space, you have a view of Sneek and the region is characterised by its many Frisian lakes. In the area, there are therefore various possibilities to rent a boat or go supping.

Would you rather stay on dry land? Then visit the beautiful centre of Sneek. All the Frisian Eleven Cities have a fountain to connect the cities, and Sneek's is a must-see. 

The area is also great to explore by bike. Take a lovely bike ride along the various lakes or visit other Frisian towns. Among others, Joure is within cycling distance of the camp area, at around 50 minutes. 

Besides swimming in the nearby Sneekermeer lake, you can also take a trip to the Slotermeer or Heegermeer lake. The Frisian lakes are also ideal for sailing. In short: plenty of options for a nice overnight stay, or even several nights.

You spend the night in Giethmen behind Janneke's farmyard. At this spot, it feels like you are wild camping. You stand by yourself in the tall grass, at the edge of the forest and have a beautiful view over the fields where the cows are grazing. Set your alarm early, the sunrise there is phenomenal! Feel free to take a look in the barn too, especially the bull likes to get a bit of attention.
