We, 2 adults with their 4.5 year old son, really enjoyed our stay with Maria. Maria was super welcoming and sweet. We had a very nice place on the dike between the fruit trees. Toilet and shower were super luxurious for what we are used to from campsites, almost hotel worthy. We would like to come back sometime.

How was the contact with the host?
Very good, Maria responded quickly and didn't beat around the bush.

We were together with our baby in the furnished De Waard tent. This was even more fully equipped than we expected. Maria's campsite is a very nice, quiet place in a beautiful environment with a super clean and nice toilet and shower.

Lovely spot! We enjoyed. It was quite chilly, 1 degree at night. Nice that we could warm ourselves by a fire in the evening. Had breakfast overlooking grazing cows and family goose.

We wanted to 'test' our newly bought motorhome nearby. We only had 1 night. When we came home, it seemed as if we had been away for a week, we really enjoyed ourselves. Nice location on the dike with nice walking and cycling routes nearby. The shower and toilets were good/clean. We forgot to bring rice for our meal, we could get pasta. Thanks again Mary.

How was the contact with the host?
Maria is a very nice woman, very helpful and with nice tips of the area.

We were guests at Maria's farm for one night with our camper. After our arrival we were warmly welcomed and Maria showed us the farm. Everything was designed with a lot of attention to detail. There is a very nice kitchen area and the sanitary facilities are super nice and you immediately feel very comfortable. The nature and the view is amazing. The highlight is the vegetable garden where Maria grows organic vegetables. We had a super nice time and are very impressed by this dream place.

How was the contact with the host?
The mail contact was super friendly and uncomplicated. Maria has responded to messages within a very short time. We are very enthusiastic about Maria and enjoyed talking with her.

Tips for new guests?
Definitely plan more than one night!

What a beautiful place! We had a wonderful weekend at Maria's camper place. Lots of space, nice and clean sanitary facilities, nice fire and nice people. You can't get better than that!

Maria and her husband were friendly and helpful. Just the right tone; that's very nice.

We walked the Rhenoyse clog path. Recommended!

We had a fantastic stay!
We wanted to go winter camping for once, and we were very happy with this beautiful spot. The temperature was around freezing so we were very happy with the warm luxury toilet block and kettle. We could sit under the canopy and make a fire in the evening. The roof was very nicely decorated with lights. We stood with the tent on the water and when we woke up in the morning everything was white, that was a very beautiful sight!

How was the contact with the host?
Maria and Willy are very friendly and helpful. Maria showed and explained everything well on arrival, and they were always up for a chat.

Tell us about your experience
I wanted to go winter camping once, I had never done that before. The weekend I wanted to go it was nice weather, so I booked a spot here. It was around freezing point, so I was a bit cold, but the overall experience was really great! And that was largely due to where I was staying. Really a very nice and quiet area on the dike with lots of birds around. The hosts were very friendly and everything went well. I was very happy with the warm toilet block :) There was also a place where a fire could be made in the evening. And a covered area where you can sit comfortably.
All in all a great experience! I would definitely like to come back here again, but maybe in the summer :)

How was the contact with the host?
The contact with the hosts was very good, everything was clearly explained when I arrived and they were very friendly during my stay.

Tips for new guests?
If you go winter camping: take enough warm stuff with you, but that probably speaks for itself :)

Tell us about your experience
Lotte and I stayed one night with Maria in the camper. It felt like a mini vacation. We have cycled and walked in the area and were even able to take a dip in the water nearby. Maria and her husband could tell you all about their yard and the environment. We were allowed to use the outside (and inside) kitchen and could light a fire in the outdoor stove. There is also a luxurious (wonderfully warm) bathroom! I would recommend everyone to go on a holiday or mini adventure with Maria!

How was the contact with the host?
Super! The contact before and during the stay was good. Maria and her husband have helped us with beautiful walking and cycling routes.

Tips for new guests?
Explore the area! You can enjoy cycling and walking in the area. There are also many beautiful villages and towns in the area.

I had a fantastic stay with Maria and Willy!
I was standing by the water with my tent. What a beautiful and quiet place with a panoramic view. I enjoyed all the waterfowl and birds in the fruit trees.
A stork even landed nearby.
Everything is well and neatly maintained. Very very clean sanitary facilities. Outside are all kinds of nice seats.
It was nice that I could pick herbs from the herb garden. I also liked that there was a crate with some fruit and/vegetables from their garden, from which you could take some. Cozy and cleanly furnished communal areas with an eye for detail.

How was the contact with the host?
Very friendly welcome by Maria. She really takes the time for you. Maria and Willy are both very helpful. What lovely people! Thanks again for the nice contact and stay!!!

Tips for new guests?
Rent a canoe/kayak from Enspijk. From there you can sail very nicely on the Linge. I had reserved a combination tour so that a bicycle was ready at the end point to be able to cycle back to the starting point.

Tell us about your experience
The campsite at Maria was very pleasant, with a very nice place to set up the tents, very clean sanitary facilities and - not unimportant given the wet weather - a nice covered place where we could spend the evening cozy and dry. You will stay with Maria between the orchards, vegetable garden, sheep, coots and moorhens. Ideal for relaxing. Highly recommended!

How was the contact with the host?
Very very good, both beforehand and on site. Maria is a very pleasant and friendly hostess, who wanted to make it as easy and pleasant as possible for us and was happy to suggest walking routes.

Tell us about your experience
What a lovely place. The nature, the atmosphere, hostess Maria: everything is top notch. The simplicity of Scandinavia with French flair in a traditional Dutch landscape. Enjoyed!

How was the contact with the host?
Excellent. Maria is very cordial and helpful and she responds quickly to messages. We felt completely at home.

It is wonderful camping at Maria's mini campsite! With the sheep on the dike, the beautiful terrace, the excellent tent and beautiful surroundings, you will feel completely away.

Fast and clear :)

Tips for new guests?
Keep an eye out for the owl.

A beautiful place to stay! Beautiful grounds, clean showers and toilets and a small kitchenette with cooking utensils that we could use. From the campsite you can take a nice walk through the area. Maria can tell you all about that. Maria is a friendly host who made us feel very welcome. We can recommend the campsite!

A very nice location with a beautiful view of the meadow. We really enjoyed this place and the lake nearby.

Lovely quiet place with super on the water and a view over the nature reserve. Facilities were excellent, with a nice terrace that we could use. Maria is a hospitable host and even offered some vegetables from our own garden for our dinner.

Tell us about your experience
Maria and Willie welcomed us very warmly, gave us a tour of their grounds and then we drank homemade apple juice together.
The camper place is a beautiful spot on a water with a view over the Zuid-Hollands Landschap. In the morning the cows lie in front of the fence and you can hear the birds chirping.
The bathroom is really nice and practical [lots of brackets], the bathroom is also kept very clean. The covered outdoor area is nice for when it's rainy.
A downside is that there is no hot water at the outdoor washing up areas, but the kitchen is right next to it and you can tap hot water there.
Leerdam is a 15-minute walk away. There are beautiful walking and cycling routes nearby. Maria has booklet with different routes.

How was the contact with the host?
Fine. Maria responds quickly to e-mails and during your stay she can always be reached by phone or nearby.

It was wonderful to stay with Maria at the campsite. Everything was allowed and possible, such as an extra mattress and a cool box! We had a great time! We will definitely come back!

How was the contact with the host?
That went well and smoothly!

Tell us about your experience
We had a very nice, quiet and warm stay at the campsite with Maria. The idyllic spot on the water is even more beautiful in real life! It is very quiet, you only hear the sheep now and then. We were positively surprised by the sanitary facilities; it was very nice and clean and the shower is just like home (maybe even better..!). We were also very charmed by the seating area, it seemed as if we were in France, between the fresh herbs (which you could pick) and possibly the possibility to light your own fire.

How was the contact with the host?
Maria is a warm-hearted woman who talks passionately about her stay and who also knows a lot about the area. The contact with her was always non-binding and friendly.

Tips for new guests?
A bicycle is useful to explore the area, but the hiking trails are also easily accessible!

Tell us about your experience
We had a fantastic time at the Bij Maria campsite. There were courgettes from the vegetable garden that we were allowed to eat, the toilets and shower were super clean, and the sheep watched us while we drank coffee in front of the tent. The tent sites were spacious and there were several seating areas scattered around the site.

How was the contact with the host?
Maria responded quickly and she and her husband welcomed us warmly. Nice people matching a nice campsite.

Tips for new guests?
The sheep were sociable but also early on bleating to each other, so if you want to sleep in then earplugs are not a luxury ;) Furthermore, the beach of Bassa was a good place for a swim, so definitely do it.

Tell us about your experience
Beautiful location with beautiful view. Many opportunities for walking in nature in the area. Maria and her husband are friendly and kind hosts. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful spot in Leerdam! Fantastic cycling and walking opportunities. Very hospitable by Maria with her own pressed apple juice! Beautiful newly renovated outbuilding with fresh shower and toilets. A very nice kitchen (which you can use) and a nice terrace. Pick your own tea from the herb garden!
The only small minus was that there was no wifi. But everything else is great!

How was the contact with the host?
Maria is very welcoming and friendly! Contact very nice!

Tips for new guests?
Take a nice bike ride from Leerdam to Geldermalsen along the Linge. You will pass through beautiful small villages! Really enjoy the many traditional Dutch views in this beautiful river landscape!

Very nice mini campsite, nice luxury sanitary facilities. nice the kids right next to your tent. Really very good value for money.

Tips for new guests?
The breakfast was really a must! Really delicious and lots of choice! I didn't order lunch or dinner, so unfortunately I can't say anything about that.

Tell us about your experience
Intimate place, quite and beautiful environment. Facilities were new and clean and well-maintained by Maria. Warm welcome, tent was perfect, spacious and neat, with all facilities needed for a smooth and easy stay. I'd come back for sure, and would even consider renting the meeting room upstairs with my team which was an incredibly beautiful space.

How was the contact with the host?
Easy and prompt communication with a lovely host. Maria thought along for breakfast (which we ordered late) and was flexible and very friendly. The home-made apple juice and warm welcome came for free. I recommend!

Nicely camped at Maria's campspace in Leerdam. Beautiful place, lots of nature, tranquility. Sympathetic owners. We will definitely go again.

What a beautiful location this was! Breathtakingly beautiful, with a beautiful view from the tent (including a nest of harriers) and endless hiking options on the other side of the dike. Maria is very welcoming and helpful. Everything we needed was there and if we needed anything she was always there for us. It was quiet, but there were also plenty of activities to do. I highly recommend this place and hope to spend another weekend here this summer!

Tell us about your experience
Maria is a very sweet hospitable woman who received us warmly. We camped with a view of a nature reserve. You heard a lot of birds. For convenience, we ordered breakfast and it was organic and delicious! Because you eat together, you immediately meet nice people who also like to go out. Maria has enough tips! You can do endless things there.

Really recommended.

I would really like to share our experience we had at the nature campsite in Leerdam, near Maria.

What a special beautiful experience we have had at this beautiful place at the bottom of the dike of Leerdam. We were here at the end of April, when the fruit trees on the campsite were also in beautiful bloom.

Maria, the host, is a caring warm woman who knows a lot about nature, nutrition and gardening in the vegetable garden.
She likes to share her Passion to cook and care for others in combination with sharing this beautiful place where she lives with her husband.
We had nice conversations with her and her husband, who knows a lot about the different fruit trees, birds etc in the area.

The small-scale campsite offers a lot of peace and quiet, but also comfort because we can use extras such as a fire pit (we can buy wood for a small fee), the terrace with cozy seats, etc. The new sanitary area is neat and is kept clean.

The view is beautiful and wide. The places to camp or the camper place are spacious and offer enough privacy.

If you like walking and/or cycling, you can make beautiful trips from here along the Lek and Linge. The town of Leerdam is easy to cycle to.

We treated ourselves to a breakfast provided by Maria, which consisted of all kinds of fresh organic, vegetarian ingredients and local products. Really recommended.

The location offers a lot of potential for overnight stays and rental of the rooms with the options for complete care.

We will definitely come back to this place when the apples and pears hang on the trees or can be picked.

The weekend before King's Day (cold nights, northern wind, but lots of sun) we camped at Maria, near Leerdam.
What a lovely place Maria and her husband Willy have created! Nice camping spots under the fruit trees, at the bottom of the Diefdijk, with sheep as neighbors behind and a view of the nature of the South Holland Landscape. A beautiful place for a small tent.
The bathroom, as you may call it, is attractively furnished with many characteristic elements and, above all, good and clean sanitary facilities and wonderfully heated. A beautiful outdoor area, partly covered, partly open terrace, where you can sit sheltered and in the sun with a view of the outside. Maria and Willy are very friendly and give you a warm and heartfelt welcome.
The camping spots, the Pipohuisje and the camper place (and another meeting room) are brand new, built in and around their old barn with many authentic elements.
From this place you can make beautiful trips by bike or on foot along the Linge and to Leerdem and the surrounding area. Very nice!
Also a nice place for a family or friends reunion with people who love the outdoors and camping. We will do that too!
Highly recommended for nature and outdoor enthusiasts!
