As the topic says we are off at the end of June.
We are looking to stay in 3 seperate locations
1. Brugge
2. Holland? We fancy the drive up the coast road at some point?
3. Holland?

Any suggestions?

Criteria is

Must be a commercial site with facilities (mains/water/bar etc)
BUT most importantly
MUST be within walking distance of a town or village 1km to 2 km walk MAX

Delft or Apeldorn seems to get a few mentions but do the sights meet the above criteria?

Thanks in advance

Dennis

We loved Holland, and will return to 'do' Appeldorn sometime, and also the ring of islands to the north. We used the Lonely Planet guide, and found it fantastic for interesting information. Delftse Hout, just outside Delft, was the sort of site you would like.

I will second the comments about Delftse-Hout, its a great site and the town of Delft is truly a lovely interesting town I have been about ten times and never tire of it, will probably be there again soon.

Hi DJP

If you are looking for a site at Brugge, I would rcommend Camping Memling. It may be a bit further out of the city than the distance you have quoted, but there is a bus stop just a few hundred yards from the site.
Brugge is a beautiful city and is well worth a visit. Ghent is also worth a visit, try Camping Blaarmeersen here, again the site is out of the central area but the site is well served by a local bus route

There is a camperstop, €22.50 for 24hours, electric hook up, water disposal/fresh, chemical disposal (I presume). It's next to the bus station at the south of Brugge. There's a ring road it's just off of (not really signposted). free bus into town, or free bike if your willing.

Hi,

We have done Brugge a number of times and always stayed in the Aire just outside the city at E15 a night with electric and all the waste and water you could need. A 10 minute jaunt to the city centre, and numerous cycle routes all set out and numbered.

We also stayed in Holland on 2 of this companies sites, both excellent, clean with all facilities needed. The first was the Bosbad Hoeven site, in huge grounds with an amazing aray of things to do, expecially the water park for children and adults alike, lots of cycle routes around here also but we didn't partake so cannot comment.

The second was Napoleon Hoeve, this we loved for other reasons, we where a 5 minute walk to the beach, we also drove to the Ferry which we could have ridden to on bikes it was that close, this took us across the water into Zealand, at the ferry port on the other side is the train station, 2 minute walk then into Middlesbourg where we had a wonderful day including a pleasure trip for 3 hours (I think) down the river there.
Middlesbourg was one of our favourite towns ever, little bells ringing while you walk around, many cyclists that came over on the ferry with their bikes which you can then follow the canal from the ferry port right into Middlesbourg, bit too strenuous for us unfit humans but nice and flat.

If you need more info let me know, this should be a link to all their sites - fingers crossed Smile
