To be pedantic, it's the Netherlands - my Dutch neighbours were most emphatic about that .

Gaasper camping on the outskirts of Amsterdam is very good and has good links into the city centre. I would recommend visiting Enkhuizen which is a 'picture postcard' village on the Ijsselmeer. It has an excellent outdoor/indoor museum and marina.

Last year I also visited Groningen in the north of the country.
It which has a decent campsite set in extensive parklands. Longish walk (but good for cycling) into the city with excellent bars, cafes and shopping.

i worked on a big installation project over some months in Groningen. its a fantastic university town. from thursday to monday it was party time, the weekend started every friday afternoon with the local contractors playing traditional dutch music on their radios and maybe drinking a few beers at work. nobody works on the weekend in holland so there was a real holiday atmosphere going on every friday. then on a friday night the bars in the town were open until the next morning. there was a good irish pub i frequented most evenings and made some friends there.

i am trying to get over to holland with my caravan, to Duinrell in Wassenaar for my sons to enjoy but also to enjoy such a beautiful country. i flew in to schiphol the week before last and coming in to land it looked so tidy and....Dutch.
