Nice base to explore South Holland
Delftse Hout
We had a lovely two-week stay here in May 2024. We have a touring caravan and our grass pitch was pleasant, with a hedge behind our caravan and, although smaller than UK pitches, we didn’t feel crowded. Some motorhome pitches looked a little bit tight however.
Facilities in the new shower block were excellent. There were many more sinks than showers but we didn’t face any queues.
Part of our stay was during Dutch school holidays and the site became very busy with children and a daily entertainment schedule - this looked good for the children but if you’re seeking tranquility, check when Dutch holidays are! As soon as half term finished, the site became quiet and peaceful.
Travel from the site via bike was amazing and we cycled to loads of places including The Hague, Rotterdam and Gouda. It’s a supremely short cycle into the lovely canal city of Delft, which also has several large supermarkets. Delft station has a good service of trains to Amsterdam. You can also drive to further afield attractions such as Kinderdijk and Keukenhof.
We arrived super early due to the overnight ferry and check in was perhaps a little too casual and I had to return later in the week to get the gate code (only needed late at night however). Some campers were allowed onto their pitches early but we had to wait outside so it’s the luck of the draw as to whether your pitch is free. The site is on a lovely quiet tree-lined road so we were able to park there and were allowed to use the site facilities. The staff were very friendly and all speak excellent English.
The surroundings are beautiful wooded parks and lakes.
If there was road noise, we were not disturbed by it at all.
There’s a little restaurant on site which was perfectly pleasant, and a burrito van visits (dates are posted in reception/ on the site website) and their burritos were great!
All in all, we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend.
