Travelogue

Day 1
Altenaer Straße
58762 Altena, Deutschland
First of all, I would like to point out that we are ACSI card holders and, if possible, we also drive to the campsites specified in the ACSI app. The prices given in my description are usually the discounted ACSI prices!

EMSLAND-CAMP
Harener Str. 34, 49733, Haren, Deutschland
We made the first stop with our mobile home at the Ensland Camp in Haren.

This place is absolutely modern designed, well organized and very well maintained!

There are different types of accommodation to rent and all are good value for money (I think).

We stood in front of the barrier with the mobile home. Water, waste water and 16A electricity (must be paid extra / approx. 70 cents/kwh) is located on each pitch. Each pitch has its own terrace and the sanitary building is modern and clean.


At the Emsland camp, pitches with their own toilet building or holiday homes with additional mobile home/caravan parking spaces can be rented. This is useful, for example, if you are planning a holiday with friends (or similar) who do not own a camper themselves!


Dankern Castle is easy to reach by bike.

Day 8
Hellingbaan 4
Winschoten, Niederlande
After a short drive we find the parking space at the marina in Winschoten.

The small town is within walking distance. We recommend a bike ride around the nearby Oldambtmeer!


The parking space costs €15/day (including €2 tourist tax and €3 electricity/16 amps) for 2 people.
The sanitary container does not make a good impression at first glance, but it was always clean and cleaned.

Unfortunately, there is a scrap dealer (or similar) near the parking space, which starts operating around 7 a.m. and disturbs the rest of the peace a bit (weekdays)


Supermarkets are easily accessible by bike.

Day 11
Fjildbuorsterwei
9153 AX Brantgum, Niederlande
Continue to Camperplaats Veldzicht. This parking space is about 7km above the beautiful town of Dokkum and costs €17/day including electricity (16A).
The operator is very friendly and everything is super well maintained. Cleanliness is definitely given here.
Unfortunately we had a lot of mosquitoes during our stay and therefore it is advisable to close the mosquito nets all the time.

Stadscamping Bloemketerp
Burg. J. Dijkstraweg 3, 8800 AA, Faneker, Niederlande
The next stop on our trip was Recreatiepark Bloemketerp in the small town of Franeker. The city is located between Harlingen (approx. 10km) and Leeuwarden (approx. 18km). Both cities are easy to reach via well-developed cycle paths in a short time.
With the ACSI card, the campsite cost €18/day (including electricity/10 amps). The pitches are large and have a water/sewage connection. The sanitary building is older, but was cleaned daily. Adjacent to the site is an indoor swimming pool (additional entry fee has to be paid though)

A great gym is also part of the site and can be used free of charge for camping guests.

The town of Franeker makes a good and orderly impression and can be easily reached on foot in 5 minutes. A walk through the small park on the outskirts of town is recommended.


The supermarkets Albert Heijn and Lidl are only about 75m from the campsite. They are very well equipped and recommended. There is also an ATM at the Albert Heijn.


The campsite itself only makes a mediocre impression on me and would get 3 out of 5 stars from me. Craftsmen would have to work there for a few days to make improvements!

However, the infrastructure on and around the campsite is great!

Vakantiepark Koningshof
Elsgeesterweg 8, 2231 NW, Rijnsburg, Niederlande
Our next port of call was Vakantiepark Koningshof in Rijnsburg. The campsite makes a neat and clean impression. The staff were always friendly. From the campsite you can make beautiful bike rides (e.g. to Noordwijk).

Note: I am of the opinion that the campsite is only suitable for an overnight stay, for example if you cannot or do not want to continue, although the campsite is very nice.

Here is the reason for my recommendation:

Very, very low flying passenger planes fly over the campsite from morning to night. Even at night, the place is constantly disturbed by aircraft noise. In addition, you have to pay a tourist tax of €1.40/day/person for this constant noise. For the reasons mentioned, I think that you should only book a short period of time so that you can get an idea of the circumstances for yourself.


Because you have to pay for your stay at the reception in advance, it is probably better to only pay for a short period of time (with the option to extend it / if the aircraft noise doesn't bother you).

I think it makes more sense to be a bit more cautious about online bookings. Heavy air traffic must be expected in this region (departures and arrivals from Amsterdam and Rotterdam airports!!???)


Day 24
Day 25
Camping De Duinhoeve
J J Boeijesweg 62, 4328 HC, Burgh Haamstede, Niederlande
After Vakantiepark Koningshof in Rijnsburg (we made the mistake of booking and paying for 3 days there ourselves / see the previous report) we looked for another campsite about 100 km away as quickly as possible and found it with Camping De Duinhoeve . Here everything was as you imagine camping in September and in the off-season.

The reception at the front desk was friendly and very competent. The place makes a neat and clean impression. The pitches are quite large and the cycle paths, for example in the direction of Renesse, are just beautiful. The town of Renesse is also worth a visit.

Here we found the idyllic peace (without aircraft noise!). It should also be mentioned that there is a very well stocked supermarket on the campsite.

Day 26
Day 27
Ardoer Camping Westhove
Zuiverseweg 20, 4357 NM, Domburg, Niederlande

Since the weather forecast was not good for a long time, we ended our tour and decided to go back home.


We actually wanted to drive to two stations later and that's why I'm sharing them here.


We would have approached the Westhove campsite. We visited this place a few years ago. We liked the campsite at the time and it is only about 1km from Domburg. Middelburg is also easy to reach by bike and worth a visit.


I don't know if anything has changed for the worse in the meantime.


Wohnmobilpark Xanten
Fürstenberg 6, 46509, Xanten, Deutschland
The last stop on our originally planned tour would have been the mobile home park in Xanten. We have also been here before and have good memories of the parking space and the beautiful town with the Roman Museum or the Xanten South Sea.

Note: It's been a few years since our last visit to Xanten, so I understandably can't provide any current information here.

From Xanten we would have driven back to our hometown Altena.
