Beautiful setting

Lovely campsite set in a beautiful location just a 10min walk from the centre of Delft.  Although the weather was lovely during the day at night we experience heavy rain which did see our pitch get water logged.  The hard standing pitch was fine for the caravan but the car got stuck and we needed pushing out. The staff were very helpful and great with the kids, who hired go carts out daily as the site was safe enough for them to explore alone. Not all shower blocks were open when we visited, despite the site being full, which meant a wait in the ladies showers. The shop on site was well stocked, there is play area for the children as well which they enjoyed.  We didn't try the restaurant out as we ate out in the town of Delfte.  The town was beautiful and had lots of shops and bars/restaurants to choose from.  There is a market on Thursday, but we preferred the market on Saturday as there was more choice for cheese, fish, meats and flowers. Great for bike riding around the campsite as its set in a country park so you can cycle for miles. Tip - don't use sat nav to campsite it takes you through a housing estate in the town of Delfte to a narrow road which only buses can use under the road, so approach from Ikea. We had a lovely time and will certainly return.

Wet but wonderful!

Most convenient for ferry and sight-seeing as well as close to open countryside for walking and cycling. The facilities offered were very good though we didn't sample the restaurant. Staff were most helpful and as in most of Holland, English is spoken. This was our second stay here and we can thoroughly recommend it. There are some major roadworks going on at the moment (for the last 2 yrs!) so ensure you have an up to date map or Sat Nav. There are no diversion signs!

Great location

Picked the site as it was close to the ferry and Delft. Booked 2 nights, but extended it to 3 so we could take the tram to The Hague. Easy flat walk to Delft, with a shuttle if you'd rather ride into town. The first pitch we were given was very boggy after rain, so moved across the road where the pitch was a hard standing with good drainage. Good facilities, and friendly staff.

A great week

This was our first overseas trip with the 'van and all went smoothly. We went in August so the site was very busy with lots of children though they weren't playing around the pitches. Whilst the facilities are fairly basic they were clean and perfectly adequate. The onsite shop was very well stocked and the freshly baked pastries for breakfast were a nice treat! Delft is about a 20 minute walk and is a beautiful town - the market on a Thursday is a must visit - definitely try the lekkerbekker! Den Haag and Amsterdam are easily reached by train and the windmills at Kinderdijk are around a 40 min drive and are worth a visit.

Just can't get enough of Delft.

Like Taxidad, we went back to Delftse Houte for the 3rd year running this year, this time for a fortnight. Suffice to day we have provisionally booked with the site staff for next year. Delft really is THE most beautiful city to visit and we found a part of the city centre this year which we'd not discovered on our 2 previous visits. The site staff were, as usual, lovely, friendly and courteous as were the people of Delft generally. Cycling is obviously the perfect way to get about- Den Haag is only 40 minutes by bike- and it's so easy by following the cycle route numbers. Get the map from tourist info, plot your route making a note of the numbers then follow the signs- simples! Only 30 minutes from The Hook. What more could you want? Just one thing- the exit you want off the A13 is junction 9 not J8.

Back Again

Back for our third year running at this wonderful site. Why go back here? 30 minutes from the ferry so is an excellent way to stop on the way back home, or if your unsure about driving abroad a quick site to get to from the ferry. As with previous review don't follow the sat nav but head for Ikea off Junction 8 on the A13 and turn left then right. Second reason for staying here is the ease of access and miles and miles of easy bike riding even for 2 55+ adults - saw loads of kids cycling as well. We still haven't covered every part of this area - by a cycle route map from the Tourist information shop in town and its as easy as pick a destination and following the numbers to get there. Third reason is the town of Delfte itself - one of the prettiest towns in Holland, don't miss out of the Thursday market, nor the beautiful churches and fantastic view for the top of the church spire. Den Haag, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Gouda and beach's all easy to reach. Behind the site is the Houte with its lakes and cycle paths and separate walking paths - be aware that the far end of the "beach" as they call it is for nudists! WE were very lucky to be there on the first Sunday in August when they hold the flower festival where more than 50 boats travel along the canals all decorated with flowers and themes. Look at www.shelbey'adventures.weebly.com and click on Europe 15 to see photos and videos.

Don't follow SAT NAV to Delftse Hout site

Lovely site, perfect for walking into Delftse.  Don't follow Sat Nav to site though as takes you down road with trench at end, only suitable for buses. When you get off motorway exit, head towards big IKEA and turn left just in front of it where site is sign posted.   Make sure you try fried fish at market in town - delicious!  Also, did day trip to Amsterdam, only 40 mins away.

we went last year and enjoyed so much decided to go back again

A brilliant site with very friendly staff .We took our new electric bikes this time which was great to explore further  villages.Went on train to Rotterdam which was very interesting also took tram to The Hague then got back on and went to the seaside town would definately like to go back as the Dutch campers are so friendly in contrast to a group of four vans from Cornwall who were in there click and some of them could not say good morning.

Convenient Site

Convenient to the ferry and walking into Delft. Used as a short stop (2 nights) en route to Denmark. Some pitches difficult to access with larger caravan. Unfortunately our designated pitch was incorrectly marked on site plan (reported to reception) and we overshot and had to go around again but could not make the tight turn with a 7.2m caravan and had to unhitch to get through the gap.  Site staff friendly and helpful . Did not try the restaurant. Facilities fine. Would probably use again but would be extra careful when assessing access.
