We got back today from Andijk which is North Holland and not too far from Amsterdam

We briefly saw Enkhuizen and that is a really nice place.

You might also want to consider Ijmuiden aan zee which is on the west coast

Den Helder has the most hours of sun anywhere in Holland so could be a good place and if you dont mind getting a ferry then you could try Texel which is on one of the Wadden islands (I think that is what they are called lol. On the map go north of Amsterdam until you get to the water then up and east a little )

Man I am so good at geography lol

The site we went to this weekend I wouldnt recommend as they allow groups of teenagers who run riot and there was a competition in the caravans to see who could have their TV the loudest but North Holland is beautifull and once over the dijk, take your pick of nice towns and beautiful countryside :)

If you dont mind a bit of a drive and are not looking for a countryside, silent site then Beekse bergen is fab. It is a safari park with a campsite and a play area with a huge water slide etc.

You get a free pass into the safari park, play area and an amazing swimming complex around 30 min drive from the site.

We went last year and loved it but as I said before, not the most peaceful site so if that is something you really want then Beekse bergen is not for you.

If this does interest you then you will have to use babelfish as the site is in Dutch or email them for information in English

Or if you need translation then I can do that if you tell me what you want to know

God made the world but we made Holland, as the Dutch say.

Marieke have you stayed at http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=7951

Please say yes and it was a good site, just had to cancel one site because of poor reviews and small pitch sizes.

Marieke - thanks for the reply, I spoke to Koningshof earlier about pitch sizes and told them the size of our outwell and although they commented that it was a big tent they told me that they would have no problem with it.

We may use the pyramid but will wait until nearer the time to decide.

The only reason we are looking to stay that side of holland is that we have to drop of MIL at schipol on a Sunday afternoon so do not want to be travelling too much to get to camp for the start of our Holiday.
