Where to stay
If you are on the road with the camper, you will have to think about where you want to spend the night. There are various possibilities:
- at a camping
- on motorhome or
- wild camping.
Wild camping is not allowed everywhere, in certain countries such as in Scandinavia it is allowed under certain conditions. The advantages of wild camping are that you can really stand in the most beautiful places in nature and are not disturbed by neighbors. Please note that you do not have a connection for your electricity and water, so it is important to prepare well before you go wild camping. Make sure your home battery is charged. This will last 1 to 1,5 days with normal use. Also remember to fill the clean water tank so that you have enough water for cooking, washing your hands and showering and that the dirty water tank is empty.
If you are a little less adventurous and you would like to have a little more facilities, you can park at a campsite or motorhome. A campsite is often a bit larger, on a closed site and there are more facilities such as sanitary facilities, a swimming pool, a restaurant, a camping shop and a playground. Unlike camper pitches; these are often a bit simpler, but often with electricity and a water point. This also makes a motorhome cheaper. Camper pitches are often located at practical locations; near a village or town, the beach or along a river. So you can decide for yourself what kind of place you want to stay. If you don't like the place, you can always drive on to find a new place to stay.
How do you find all these different locations? To find places to stay, it is useful to use the app, for example MotorhomeContact on your phone, so that searching for campsites, motorhome pitches and service points is easy. In any case, it is smart to check the website of the Dutch Camper Club (NKC) for more camper tips. If you like the holiday with the camper and you want to go more often, it is smart to become a member of the NKC.
What are you going to do?
The possibilities with a camper are endless. Just think of one holiday in your own country or a city trip. For example to North Netherlands, go for a walk in Drenthe or visit the beautiful Hanseatic city of Groningen. In the woods in Drenthe there are several camper pitches near the dolmens, certainly special to visit. If you still feel like driving further afterwards, cross the border to Northern Germany. In addition to beautiful nature reserves, you can also visit Groningen's former trading partners. These Hanseatic cities such as Bremen and Hamburg are well worth a visit by camper.
If you want to go a bit further away, then you can have a nice one beach to the south of Europe. A round trip in the spring through Portugal and Spain to enjoy the sun. Or a adventure holiday to the Alps where you can walk and cycle, is also a wonderful goal, every season offers different possibilities.
