Hi,
We've done quite a few trips to Netherlands over last few years with our caravan. We find it very caravan friendly (I think it's the only country in the world with more caravans per population than UK!)
We've stayed at Camping Koningshof before near Leiden - it's only around 40mins to Amsterdam and you can use parka and ride. Other advice would be to stay somewhere north of Amsterdam, Marken is a beautiful village if you can find something nearby, also if you drive to the north side of amsterdam, you can usually find some where to park for free arround the Villengbos park, and then catch the bus or the free ferry into the city.
If you want a quiet area away from the big cities, with great cycling and good beaches, then try Zeeland. It's our favourite place, but we do have 2 little ones who enjoy the beaches!
In terms of cycling, my advice would be to hire bikes there. There's nothing wrong with taking your own, but hire is very cheap over there for what are great quality bikes, the 'upright' Dutch-style bikes are better for riding on their roads and cycle paths. The basic rule in Holland is that the bike is king - everything in towns and on the roads is designed to make cycling as pleasurable as possible. If you're after a slightly easy ride then the electric bikes they have for hire are brilliant, but obviously a bit more expensive - the cafes have little symbols in the windows to show those that have a charging point to use while you have a coffee.
As you can see we like our Netherlands trips a lot. Drop me a line if you need more advice.
