redpen Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Would appreciate any advice for best time/places to visit the Dutch Bulb fields. Also, I assume there are no Aires in Holland so any suggestions for suitable sites would be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizken Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 April/May when tulips in in flower Must visit Kukenhof gardens - amazing. Try Camping Delftse Houte on the edge of Delft town - easy for motorways and public transport, and 10 min walk into town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi Redpen and welcome to the forum. We went to Holland last year - there are now some official aires there, they started up last year, and we made use of a few of them as well as doing some wild camping. Unfortunately our motorhome got attacked during the early hours on a Sunday morning when youths threw bricks at it! However, apparently this is a known phenomenon for early Sunday mornings so if you do use aires, I'd suggest that on Saturday nights you definitely use a campsite! I did post something about these 'Dutch aires' but unfortunately the search facility is playing up so I can't find it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow-Chasers Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 The bulb feilds are best viewed at night.....the brightest colours are the rare H.I.D Tulip, Followed by the smaller L.E.D Tulip but they come in a great array of colours - some even change. The dim orange ones are the old fashioned variety. :-D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 My hubby has managed to find the links on the web for you, these site show some of the overnight 'aires', or 'camperplaatsen' as they are called in the Netherlands: http://www.campervriendelijk.nl/ When you go to the site, you need to click on the tab for 'camperplaatsen' (CP) and then select 'nederland'. You then get a map of the country with the various areas marked and a key showing official CPs, unofficial etc. We used these last year. This site also has some CP info: camper post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
