We have stayed at Koningshof at Rijnsburg a couple of times now. Lovely quiet site off season, nice indoor pool and not far from Katwijk and Nordwijk, two lovely beaches. Katwijk has the most fabulous beach cafes! Also easily driveable (45 minutes) to the park and ride at Sloterdijk to get the train into Amsterdam. Nice clean site with a little shop that sells all the essentials, and a decent supermarket in Rijnsburg itself. Visit Leiden if you go nearby, it's a beautiful town.

We have also been to Koningshof. It is a good site but it does get very busy and feel crowded during Dutch school holidays so perhaps best to avoid during those times if you can. The Keukenhof Gardens are only a few miles away and are well worth a visit but they only open for a short period closing around the 18th of May. We have also been to their sister site Delftse Hout which as the name suggests is close to the delightful town of Delft.

Depends what sort of site you want - all singing and dancing or small and friendly? We stayed at Camping Site Warnsborn between Arnhem and Oosterbeek on the edge of the Warnsborn reserve. Lovely woodland site, family run, basic facilities great for small children (even had lots of ride on toys round the play area which children could borrow for free) fantastic for cycling (had maps to borrow from site reception), free weekly guided walk round part of the Warnsborn area. (You can tell we loved it). All this for Euro 19 per night high season.

We stayed here http://www.dekrakeling.nl/nl/ for 3 nights.  Just on the edge of Zeist, near Utrecht.  Good spot for touring with Arnhem in easy reach and just 45 mins to the outskirts of Amsterdam - it's just round the corner from a train station where you get could a train into Amsterdam which was discovered after we had visited.

A nice size of site, not too busy with a restaurant, take away and shop.  A football field and play area for kids and there were nice walks in the forest which backs onto the site.  If you like cycling, I would take your bikes - you need never use your car.  The cycle path network is excellent.  Nice clean showers and loos and we were the only UK family there at the time.

We've just come back from here: http://www.campingindebongerd.nl/english/index.html and I can thoroughly recommend both the site and the area in general. It's about a 2.5 hour, fairly easy, drive from Dunkirk. The facilities are plentiful and immaculate with several very good children's play areas on site and a very nice small town centre about 10 mins walk away. There's a fantastic beach about 20 mins cycle away and lots of interesting small and medium sized towns and villages easily reached by bike on the excellent cycle paths all around the area. It was our first time in Holland and it certainly won't be our last, we cycled everywhere and hardly used the car; either bring your own bikes or hire from the very helpful gentleman who lives adjacent to the campsite. The only thing the site and surrounding area didn't have was very many British holiday makers, this can either be a blessing or a curse depending on your requirements, but it suited us (myself, wife and 2 children- 4 and 7) just fine. Good luck in finding somewhere.

The last campsite in the Netherlands I was at was this one. It is mostly season places, but tourists are also welcome (we stayed for a week, in a tent). Quite sedate, although there is a little background noise from the motorway, with a beautiful little swimming/fishing/boating lake and (half-tame) ducks and (completely wild) rabbits running around.

It's a long way from the coast, though, if you're coming from Britain, although maybe not so far if you don't have a Dutch sense of distance.
