Hi there,

I've heard there may be a low bridge on one of the approach roads to Delftse Hout near Delft - has anyone come across this?  Our motorhome is 3.05m max height and we'd like to keep it that way!  If anyone knows of a good route when you get near to Delft, I would be grateful for advice.

Thanks.

There is a low bridge under the motorway on approach to the site, about 300 metres away from the entrance. I don't know what the height is but as it's on the main route into the site then you should have no problem. Single deck buses use it.

We've been to Delftse Hout a few times, but never encountered a bridge too low for our motorhome, which is similar in height to yours, so we would have known about it!!

There is a bridge when you are on the approach road to the site, but it is on a busroute and so buses use it.

We always approach from the motorway, the A13. Heading towards The Hague on the A13, you also go underneath a bridge, but that is by no means a low bridge. I don't know which direction you are coming from, if you are coming from Amsterdam area (if you are getting the ferry to Ijmuiden) then you would still approach on the A13, but you would then come off the motorway and turn right off the sliproad.

Other than that I don't know of any bridges.

Thanks very much for your replies - you've put our minds at rest.  Have heard good reports of Delftse Hout so very much looking forward to our visit there.

This is an ideal site for a motor caravanner. A short walk brings you into Delft (under the said bridge) Buses stop outside the site or again next to the bridge. Reception sells a book of tickets for the buses and trams and they are good value and easy to use. You can take a tram all the way to The Hague and onto the coast at Scheveningen. The main line station will get you to either Amsterdam or Rotterdam. It's all very easy.

Buses no longer stop outside the site, the nearest stop is now at the bridge. We were there at the beginning of last April and that was the case then, so presumably it still is. It's not a long walk to that stop anyway, I would say about 10 minutes.
Yes, it is a good site, as there is no need to use your own wheels, unless of course you're talking bicycles
Only drawback I'd say is that the pitches are not that big, but that's never stopped us.

There is a bus stop right outside the main gate. This is for a tourist type bus that runs between the site and town centre. it runs 9.00am till 4.00pm. I was there in September and it was running then. I prefered the public transport from the bridge as it was cheaper. Also you can't use prepaid tickets on the tourist bus.

I didn't know that, we only stayed a couple of nights last April, and never saw a bus there. We only used our bikes though, so no need to properly check out any public transport. The year before we stayed longer and found out then that the usual bus no longer stopped at the stop outside the site and so we walked to the stop by the bridge.
But if it is a tourist bus, they charge separate fares as you say, and you can't use the strippenkaart in there. So still a walk to the bridge to the "normal" bus stop then.

Along with millions of locals. It was my first time in Holland and I couldn't believe how many bikes I saw. Even the camp site hired them. There was even a Halfords in Delft. I also know now why Dutch bikes don't need gears.

Great place though.

The sat nav directed us down the bus lane the wrong way with pop up obstructions but just in time IKEA car park appeared on the right

So ignore sat nav and follow clear road signe to site

Very nice friendly site with Tv hook up and if you park in right place you can even see yourself on CCTV---but so can everybody else
