Hi all. Many thanks for previous advice on this site. Please can anyone provide an update on Gaasper Camping Amsterdam. Some reviews I’ve read have been a bit hit and miss but that’s probably the case with most reviews anyway! Also, we are looking for a site in the  Hoge Veluwe area for a few nights soon. Thanks everyone

    Sorry, me again - and any other suggestions for Amsterdam would be appreciated. We are going to Florida’s but thought that would be close enough. Thanks again.

    It’s a while since we stayed at Gaasper camping so I can’t give you an update,  but if I were going again I would put more faith in the reviews on ACSI and UKCS for all the sites at Amsterdam rather than reviews on Trip Advisor.

    For a visit to Floriade at Almere you can take a train from Amsterdam Centraal station, though when I replied to your earlier enquiry back in January I suggested two mini camping camping sites closer to Almere. .We liked the one at Lelystad which I mentioned then.

    For Hoge Veluwe there are also attractive looking mini campings listed, although if you want a very big site with a water park and waterslides you could look at Camping de Pampel at Otterlo. We stayed there once but I doubt if we would choose it again. It all depends on your preferences for size and style of campsite.

    Regards.

    Many thanks for your help. We did look at Lleystad but decided to stick closer to Amsterdam. Big sites with water parks, no thank you, though we do have to go with the flow when children/grandchildren are about!

    Hi c&c, We have camped a few times at Landal Coldenhove in Eerbeek. its a very nice site and whilst large the layout is small areas of a few pitches in a very natural setting.

    There is a pool which we often used when with children/grandchildren and bar/ restaurant which we didn't.

    If that too big have a look at Camping Robertsoord which has some accommodation as well as pitches but is much smaller.

    I stayed on a campsite out at Spaarnwoude but, as it was thirty years ago, any comment from me would be decidedly dated. I do remember that the car had to be parked away from the van.

    We heard that Beek en Hei near Otterloo is good from somebody who had stayed there a few years ago so have booked that site, as it's a public holiday when we will be in the area, for Hoge Veluewe visit.

    It's in ACSI for outside of high season.

    I personally don't mind the car being away from the caravan if everybody else doing it. It's often the case in NL anyway. When in Rome etc....
