In the Netherlands wildcamping is forbidden. If you find a nice place to put up your tent, it’s not allowed. But to compensate a little the Dutch forrest administration pointed out some designated places to camp out and see what Dutch nature can be like. These places are called “Paalkampeerplaats”, roughly translated as “pole camping place”. I traveled trough the Netherlands with my bike, in search of these places. This is the photographic account of the journey.
Is there a website that indicates where you can find those places?
That sounds like a fantastic little adventure to link them up and I’m very tempted 🙂
Hey Allysse! Yeah, there is a map, you can find it here: https://sites.google.com/site/paalkampeerders/kaart
Good luck!
Ziet er echt stoer uit.
Super stoer gebouwde bivak!

Thanks Tom! De bivak stond er al toen ik aankwam, en ik heb zelfs de bouwers de volgende ochtend ontmoet 🙂
Fantastisch. Mooie foto’s. En een lekker avontuur dat je zo bij de achterdeur kan beginnen. 🙂
En het leuke is dat je ook gewoon weer bij de achterdeur eindigt!
This is so great, i’m impressed especially because you did it in this season! At the moment I am also visiting these spots in the Netherlands with my bike but the weather is a little more comfortable even though I struggle a bit with the heat.
Thanks for those authentic pictures!! 🙂
