Agnes's natu (ru) ral campsite

HEIDI

Tell us about your experience
I thought your “Own Spijs vegetable gardens under glass concept in De Lier” in combination with a spot for the tent next to the “Greenhouse” was great and unique! Agnes showed me the beautiful vegetable gardens and she lovingly told me how this beautiful concept came about.
Every hobby gardener has his place there (25). Hospitality and connecting people is the greatest motivation of their project. And you also feel very welcome here as a camper. You only have to use the tent for sleeping. Inside the greenhouse you have a large cozy table under the grapevine where you can meet gardeners for a chat. The kitchen inside is very handy and has all the necessary facilities to make a hot snack.
The tent next to the greenhouse is beautiful in the sun, quiet, in a location that is one of the most varied in the Netherlands. Delft, Leiden, Scheveningen, The Hague, Rotterdam, all within a very short distance and the coast with its beautiful North Sea beach!
The fantastic stay was absolutely too short and back to the basics that I enjoy so much to be able to go camping, it will without a doubt be repeated, I want to get to know this beautiful region in the Netherlands even better...

How was the contact with the host?
I don't think you could do better.
She does extremely well with her guests.
I was unlucky enough to have a flat tire, and thanks to Agnes' efforts, she brought in the compressor and I was able to drive to the nearest tire shop. Relieved that everything went well, because I was quite far from home. Thank you Agnes!.

Tips for new guests?
Being able to shower something protected with guaranteed hot water would initially be an expense that will quickly be recouped. It certainly doesn't have to be anything difficult

What a lovely place, despite the fact that we had some bad weather we really enjoyed our weekend. The location is close to Delft and the beach, plenty of activities nearby. Nice that there is a kitchen where you can also sit dry when it rains. Very much enjoyed the view of the vegetable gardens in the greenhouse while brushing your teeth. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area! Thank you Agnes for this wonderful place!

How was the contact with the host?
Good contact, Agnes is a nice host, unfortunately we missed each other during our stay but it was very nice that she responded quickly to messages and thought about activities during our stay

Tips for new guests?
Within walking distance you will find the Kraaiennest, Delft is a nice city to go to, but when the weather is nice, the beach is also close by.

Thank you Anuk! Very glad you had a good time. Indeed, Delft is close by and a nice city. I'm crossing my fingers for sunshine when you come again. Be welcome!

Tell us about your experience
all in all it was a lovely experience. i came here for a nice weekend away from the city and i got what i wanted. the location isn't dead silent but quiet enough to fully enjoy the nature. the small town of "Schipluiden" is very cute and has some nice locations to eat and drink.

How was the contact with the host?
The contact was very nice from the beginning, over chat we informed eachother about the arrival time and how to reach the destination.

Tips for new guests?
i didnt need them because I hiked everywhere but a bike is the perfect way to make sure to fully appriciate the outdoors and the local towns

We had a great one night stay at Agnes' place. It's a beautiful and quiet spot in little rural village. Agnes was very welcoming, gave us a little tour of the greenhouse where she runs a social gardening project and provided some hot water for the outdoor shower (thanks again! :) We had everything we needed, and could store our bikes inside.

Fantastic! The domain is very beautiful and peaceful in the green De Lier, the welcome by Agnes and Ben was very warm. Agnes gave us a tour of their beautiful social vegetable garden project, and we got coffee and cake on top. Agnes had also hung up balloons for my friend's birthday! We were able to rent bicycles and went to The Hague, Schevingen and Delft. Everything is nearby! We will definitely come back.

How was the contact with the host?
Went perfectly.

Kindly received. Toilets and water close by and easily accessible. Grass field is close to a small road, but in the evening and night hardly anyone drives there.
The light in the adjacent greenhouses was off, so that was fine too. All in all a great spot.

How was the contact with the host?
Friendly welcome. Explained where the toilets were and gave a tip for a nice walk in the area. Came back later to see if everything was okay. Good contact.

On arrival we were warmly welcomed and we were allowed to choose between a place under the tree in the front garden or by the greenhouse. We chose for the sunny lawn near the greenhouse. In the greenhouse we could use the toilet and kettle. Agnes also showed us the vegetable gardens in the greenhouse, where she could explain us everything about the different vegetables that grow there. The camping site is close to the centre of De Lier (10 minutes by bike) and the nature reserve Het Kraaiennest (The crows nest). It is a beautiful place, and definitely worth camping for once!

Shanna

Tell us about your experience
After a short walk through nature reserve 't Kraaiennest, which is a stone's throw from this Campspace, I was welcomed by the hospitable Agnes and Ben. After a warm welcome, they offered me a choice of camping spots around the house, I chose a quiet location place next to the house in a lot of greenery. In the morning the woolly house chicken and cockerel roamed around my tent. You can learn a lot from Agnes and Ben about the horticultural sector that is very characteristic of this environment and you would also have your green fingers. be able to put them to work in their own greenhouse. This Campspace is a wonderful place among the farmlands, perfect if you want to combine urban activities with a typical Dutch landscape: the Randstad is not far away here, but there are also many hiking opportunities in the area: ideal if you want to combine hiking and camping!

We were received hospitably and the place was very worthwhile. Agnes gave us a very pleasant guide and the facilities, sanitary, and kitchen were excellent. It was also surprising to us that there is a beautiful nature reserve nearby. The camping spot is also located on a body of water.

The Campspace in the Lier is a beautiful place with a lovely evening sun. The host Agnes does everything she can to make you feel comfortable and she visibly enjoys receiving new people on her premises. There is a private toilet and a nice kitchen that you can use. There is no shower available (yet, Agnes showed me they are working on an outdoor shower), but bringing your own shower bag is no problem. The environment is so beautiful! I actually have no tips for future guests: if you like small-scale camping in a nice spot, this is definitely recommended.

It was a lot of fun at Agnes Campspace. A special place between the greenhouses and within cycling distance of the sea. Agnes is great and makes sure you have a nice stay. She thought of everything: an outdoor shower, BBQ, a kitchen, and when it rains you can sit dry in the greenhouse. Very nice and highly recommended!

Fabian

The contact with Agnes was easy and very friendly. The place was great and now also has an outdoor shower that is super useful. (+ kitchen, toilet, etc.) Can definitely recommend it. The only aspect to note is that the frogs in the area were very loud during the night, so perhaps future guests should bring some earplugs (or, in my case, be tired enough to fall asleep anyway).

Agnes was a super nice host. She received me late in the evening and made me feel very comfortable. The area is beautiful and you wake up with the water right next to your tent. Since they own a community garden, you get to interact with local people if you wish so. I'd totally stay there again if I'm in the area anytime soon.

Great place to spend the night! Agnes is a nice woman who gives you a warm welcome and what you need is available: A shower, a toilet, a picnic table, a coffee machine, and also a place to sit dry in bad weather (in the greenhouse). You can look in the vegetable garden, take a walk through the nature reserve and to De Lier for a terrace.

We had a nice stay at Agnes’ in de Lier. Agnes is a pleasant and friendly hostess. We stood with our tent on the water with some shade. We could use the canteen to make coffee and there were bicycles to borrow. The outdoor shower in construction was great for rinsing off. Every day we got some goodies from our own greenhouse: Melon, raspberries, cucumber. Highly recommended.

Yes, indeed, there is a lane road, which not all navigation systems have already adapted. A point of attention when you go from the Lidl supermarket or the bus station to the campsite.
