We are doing a tour of Belgium and Holland in April taking in the Floriade and the Keukenhof Flower Parade.
The Floriade is only held every 10 years and the Keukenhof parade is an annual event. Looking forward to it.

Been to Floriade twice before - well worth a visit. Not sure how we will visit this year as I may be running a coach trip for a retirement group (if I can get a decent price quote )
______________________________________________________________ Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
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.

In the January edition of the MCC magazine, there are details of rally at the Floriade. The dates are 15-22 June and the cost for two persons is £245.00. This is for 7 nights including electric and one ticket per person entry to the Floriade.
I had considered going, but it clashes with another rally we are attending in Germany. Isn't it always the way?
I can't comment on sites near to Floriade, as we haven't been, but the Keukenhof wild camping spot reviewed here is very good. We stayed there last year and although slightly wary at first, with over 150 camper vans there (and still room left) on both sides of the lane, we soon felt at ease. Enough so to leave the van and make the short cycle trip to Keukenhof gardens for the day like most people seemed to do.
There is a boat ride from the gardens which took us back past our van. To be honest, we enjoyed the bulb fields far more when cycling round the small neighbouring towns. The locals were very friendly.
Lisse is not far away and we were able to take on water from a friendly car wash. Can also recommend the Aire at Gouda right on the edge of the town, which is also reviewed here.
