We are thinking of doing a family cycle tour in Nord Holland and Friesland etc in July. Has anyone done a Dutch cycling trip and can give any info or advise re accommodation - thought about camping but B&Bs might be better as kids won't carry much luggage!

A friend of mine did a cycling trip in Holland about 5 years ago on a barge.  They ate and slept on the barge and cycled alongside the canels and into the towns and countryside during the day.  If they wanted a day's break from cycling they just stayed on the barge, and of course the luggage was on board so they just met up with the barge at the end of each day's cycling.

Might take me a few days to find out, but I'll see if she can remember who they booked it with.

hi vince, i rekon you cant go wrong cycling and camping at the same time.i spent a year cycle touring touring round these parts.a good thing to do for the kids is to rent or buy a cycle trailer to put the kids gear in when your cycling,a baby trailer is the same,you can get quite alot in there.when your on a camp your going to be meeting people and i dare say the kids are going to make friends and meet people from allover europe.at least in a camp you can sit and enjoy a beer at the end of the day and have a bit crack on with the other people cycle touring of witch you will have the chance to meet lots of.goodluck.

Hi Vince

Spoke to my friend, she thinks their cycle/barge trip was book through a company called something like Anglo Dutch.  She said it was "a great holiday and an ideal way of getting about, I  highly recommend it."

I've had a quick look on the internet and come up with the following link which gives you an idea of the type of thing.
