We stayed in Giethoorn for a few days in 2017 so things may have changed now. It is a pretty little town/village to wander around but we are not sure about kayaking. There were boats or canoes you could hire to go on the canal. We stayed at Camping Hamstede which was quite adequate and our friends stayed at the Jachthaven camper plats.

Giethoorn is mega touristy and a lot of electric rental boats, would not want to sail there with a kayak. Would go a little further north Kalenberg or Blokzijl. Blokzijl has a fantastically beautiful campsite on the water "De Kluft"
Dont forget Blokzijl, lovely old town.

Another thing to consider if you're thinking of going in May is the Ascension and Pentecost holidays are huge in the Netherlands. It seems almost the whole country goes camping and caravanning those weekends. Ascension is the 18th this year with Pentecost the week after. A couple of sites we have tried to book for then are already full at the weekend .
