Recreation park De Watersnip, Petten

The coastal landscape of Petten has changed in recent years. A new beach has been added near Petten and Camperduin, for which millions of cubic meters of sand have been used. At 5-star recreation park De Watersnip, the camping pitches are close to this beautiful sandy beach. The park also offers many other facilities for young and old. Also nice: a day of culture in Hoorn and Enkhuizen, or the picturesque villages of Petten, Bergen and Schoorl.

Camping Karnemelkplaats, Callantsoog

The small-scale campsite Karnemelkplaats is a 10-minute walk from the beach. The name Karnemelkplaats comes from the farm that belongs to the campsite. Since 2005, it has no longer been operating as a dairy farm but as a holiday farm.

Due to the small size of the campsite, there is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. The spacious pitches give you the opportunity to camp in a rustic way. You have plenty of space. And there is plenty to do. The beach is close by anyway, but the campsite also offers various cycling routes, for example. Optimal enjoyment of nature.
