Camping in the Netherlands: what to know

Season

Most campsites are open from April to October, and many all year. Small farm campsites (minicampings) are popular. The busiest times are July and August and the spring holidays around King’s Day, Ascension and Whitsun.

Wild camping

Wild camping is not allowed. The former paalkamperen network of basic, post-marked wilderness pitches has largely closed. Look for authorised nature campsites or other designated overnight sites instead.

With a motorhome

Many municipalities restrict sleeping overnight in motorhomes on public roads. Use a camperplaats instead: towns, marinas and farms offer them, often with electricity.

Rules vary by region and may change. Always check current local regulations and signs before you travel.
