Summer holidays: you want to enjoy yourself on and around the water. This is very possible in North Holland. Not only is the province rich in beautiful beaches, there are also several recreational lakes where you can enjoy your summer. Fortunately, you can choose from many campsites, we chose five.

It is not without reason that many tourists from the Netherlands and other countries come to North Holland every year. It is a beautiful province with many holiday options. The beaches near cities such as Zandvoort, Bergen and Egmond are wonderful places where you will undoubtedly get a holiday feeling.

But recreational areas such as the Twiske, the Alkmaardermeer and, for example, the Amstelland Green Area also offer excellent holiday fun on and around the water. Are you interested in a holiday in North Holland? Take a look at these five campsites.

Recreation park De Watersnip, Petten

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

Camping Karnemelkplaats, Callantsoog

The small-scale Karnemelkplaats campsite 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 in operation as a dairy farm, but as a holiday farm.

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