We've been once before, probably 20 years ago when it was at Zoetermeer. Wonderful displays, if you like anything to do with horticulture it's not to be missed.
Maybe we will visit again this year at Venlo, it's an area of the Netherlands that we have been to many times in the past. Mostly connected to our enthusiasm for the Volkswagen Marque and the various VW events that were held in that area in the past.
As for camp sites and Aires here are a couple that we have used in the recent past...
Maashees - Camping Landgoed Geijsteren - 51.55978, 6.04342 - Google Maps http://g.co/maps/tu2g7
This is a small commercial site on the banks of the Maas about 16miles North of Venlo. Cost for a Camper & 2 persons with ehu was €19.60 / night in June last year.
Hanssum - A marina side Aire - 51.2576, 6.00446 - Googel Maps http://g.co/maps/yy42d
Again on the banks of the Maas within the marina, only officially space for 8 campers I think although it's part of a larger carpark. There is a ehu and basic facilities at the marina offices which are a bit of a walk away. This site is about 12 miles South of Venlo. Payment is at the marina office / bar and cost €8.50 / night last June, there is a 48hr limit to staying on this Aire.
My wife and I have booked DFDS (NorfolkLine) for two weeks in May intending to drive down to Venlo to attend our first Floriade. There is a ACSI camp site (Baarlo-Oostappen Vakantiepark De Berckt) situated about 6 miles from where Floriade is sited. I have e.mailed the camp site and asked about public transport to Floriade but have received a negative reply advising me to hire an expensive taxi. My question is to those of you who have been before - are there usually facilities for motorhomes i.e. for stopping overnight and or parking at the Floriade? I have looked at the Floriade 2012 web site but it is not much help. The same question applies to visiting the Kuekenhof Gardens which is also on our proposed route. Thanking you in anticipation.

Keith, I think the site that you are looking at is the one where the VW Show 'VW Euro' http://www.vweuro.nl/ used to be held many years ago. If it is then I would guess there is a bus service from alongside the main road into Venlo even if you have to change services to get out to Floriade. Google Maps shows a bus stop there.
It's many years since I was there so I can only say that it looks to be much enlarged since then. See http://g.co/maps/6vqr6

Here is the official reply from Floriade............

Thank you for your interest in Floriade 2012.
The parking charges are € 10,00 per day. But it is not allowed to stay the night with you motor home. Parking is only for one day.
We can suggest a few camping sites at our website: http://www.floriade.com/visit-floriade/accommodation-and-recreation/overnachten?filter=Campsites
I hope I informed you well. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours sincerely,
Dionne Peters | Assistent Hospitality | Regio Venlo Floriade 2012 B.V.
So no overnight parking.

We are off on the 14th May to the Black Forest and then making our way up to Holland, there is an ACSI campsite (Campsite Californië), which appears to be just 1 mile from the Floriade (unless I cannot read the maps properly???).

I know an motorhomesite near the Floriade but I can not post an webadress over here...
This is probably due to the fact that non-subscribers cannot post links, a measure that was introduced by Admin to deter spammers If you are a motorhome owner with a recommendation we would welcome it, but self-promotion by traders is not allowed.

As far as I know, the only motorhoming Oxford United supporter in Bognor.
We went to Keukenhoff Gardens 3/4 years ago and were able to park our motorhome very easily in the spacious car park - sorry I can't remember the cost I think? reasonable or I would have remembered. There was no overnight parking and they were quite strict in ensuring you left at the end of the day.
As for Floriade - we will be going and wondered if anyone had any ideas of other places to visit in the area to make a trip of it please?
I would like to give you all the directions but I am not able to post the directions nor am I able to reply to private messages....
Never seen an forum where that's not possible.....
It's all possible here if you pay the £12.50 to join.
PS your site could usefully be edited by someone who has English as their first language
