A camperplaats is the Dutch term for a dedicated motorhome parking spot in the Netherlands and Belgium, typically equipped with an electric hookup (CEE 16A), water, and waste disposal.
The Netherlands has a well-developed camperplaats infrastructure through the ANWB network and private operators. Many petrol stations (BP, Shell) have camperplaatsen. A stay typically costs €10–25/night including electricity and service facilities.
FAQ
How do I find camperplaatsen in the Netherlands?
The ANWB Camper app lists official ANWB-certified camperplaatsen. Park4Night and Campercontact also cover the Netherlands extensively. Many petrol stations (Shell, BP, Q8) have signposted camperplaatsen — easy to spot on Google Maps.
What is the difference between a camperplaats and a camping?
A camperplaats is a parking area specifically for motorhomes, often without tent pitches or extensive facilities. A camping (campsite) is a full recreational site with pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, plus sanitary blocks, reception and often leisure facilities.
Do camperplaatsen require booking?
Most ANWB camperplaatsen are first-come-first-served and do not require booking. Some popular or small private ones do — check the listing on the ANWB app or Park4Night. July–August is peak season; arriving early in the day is advisable.
