Enjoy a Holiday on Welcoming Texel
Texel welcomes tens of thousands of tourists every year. Many come from abroad, but people from the Netherlands also love spending their holidays at a farm campsite on Texel. The island is perfect for beautiful cycling trips and long walks along the beach. You can enjoy local Texel specialties in the many restaurants in Den Burg and other towns across the island. This is one of the reasons why so many visitors are drawn to Texel. The weather here is often a little better than in the rest of the Netherlands, with less frequent rain. Do be prepared for some wind, though, as it can get quite stormy at times—just as you would expect on an island.
Beautiful Farm Campsites on Texel
Because Texel is so popular with tourists, there has been significant investment to ensure guests enjoy their stay. Staying on a farm is a natural part of the Texel experience.
