The Winter Campsite: A Temporary Home Away from Home
A winter campsite is the perfect solution if you find yourself without a home for a few weeks. This situation can arise, for example, if you’ve sold your house but haven’t yet moved into your new place. In the Netherlands, you can bridge this period by staying at a winter campsite in one of the provinces. Winter campsites are available throughout the country, from Groningen to Limburg and from Drenthe to Zeeland. Please note that permanent residence on a campsite is not allowed in the Netherlands, and there may be checks to ensure this rule is followed. To avoid any issues, you can switch campsites a few times during your stay. Many winter campsites offer mobile homes for rent, providing more comfort and space than a camper van, often with private bathroom facilities.
Facilities at Winter Campsites
Winter campsites often have extra pitches for motorhomes, as they offer more comfort in cold weather compared to tents or standard caravans, which usually require an awning for additional space. Camping in a regular tent during winter is generally not recommended due to the cold and damp, which can lead to health issues. Many winter campsites have additional indoor facilities such as restaurants or indoor swimming pools, allowing you to enjoy your stay even when it’s too cold for outdoor activities. For those interested in skiing during their winter holiday, there are also campsites located near popular ski slopes.
