Can anyone recommend a good campsite in Holland or Belgium? We have booked a ferry to Rotterdam and are returning from Zebrugge. We have two children ages 8 and 6 and will be staying in our vw campervan.

Ideally we’d like a swimming pool – we’re not bothered about entertainment or kids clubs. We are travelling in August.

I’ve done lots of research on the internet but just can’t decide what to go for.

Ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks J

Take a look at the Camping Cheque website - there are 6 sites in Holland which accept Camping Cheques all season, meaning a pitch for two adults, campervan, awning, and electricity will be just £13.95 per night (www.campingcheque.co.uk).  This could be useful if you decide to 'tour' and stay on a variety of sites.

One site, 't kuierpadtient looks to have lots of things going on for children, including an indoor pool, a covered children's play area, bouncy castles, and even an artificial ski-slope.  You have to pay a supplement for the children on top of the Camping Cheque and it's hard to find out how much this is from the campsite's own website.  It can be between two and eight euros per child - but you'd pay this anyway on top of the 'standard' site tariff.

What a great website! The camping cheque looks like a great idea too….. Thanks for the link.

 I will have a good look through the options later but there seems to be some good sites to choose from!

Thanks again – I’m eager to get it all planned!

Here is another mega place for kids.I know VAl is top notch re Camping Cheques, but i would double check if they are acceptable through mid August. There seems to be a bit of doubt as to whether it is late August only.

The dates when they're accepted are shown on both the website, and in the Camping Cheques book - but an email to them wouldn't go amiss as they do sometimes get things wong! 

I'll check the dates with the site. Love the look of depaal too. Have you visited it Ajay?

Thank you both for your responses btw. Very helpful.

We only stayed here one night before ferry but seems a reasonable place. Had a walk into Delft.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. We’ve now booked 5 nights at Koningshof in the West and then went for the remainder at De Paal. It really does look like a great site and we’re all very excited about it! We loved the look of Lilse Bergen too Tracey and Steven and it was a tough decision!.....(Enjoy camping de la plage – we stayed there a few years ago – lovely site and fab beach!)

Counting down now……thanks again to everyone who replied – I’m really glad I posted.
