In Brief

As the May holidays begin, Camping Waterhout in Almere fills with motorhomes and caravans, while tent campers are scarce due to cold nights. Meanwhile, sales of motorhomes are rising: spring fairs and online stores show high demand.

The Netherlands is experiencing a double spring surge of interest in motorhomes and caravans. On one hand, with the start of the May holidays, Camping Waterhout in Almere is actively welcoming guests on wheels, while tent campers are still rare due to cold nights. Among the visitors are two colleagues renting a motorhome for the first time and a family with grandchildren using their caravan, sharing their experiences of adapting to life on the road.

On the other hand, the spring season is also boosting sales. Owners are preparing their vehicles for the season, reflected in increased sales at online stores and recent fairs in Den Bosch and Antwerp. This weekend, the traditional CamperExpo will be held in Houten, with tickets almost sold out. On March 28, the National Motorhome Fair will take place in Biddinghuizen, where about 300 private individuals will offer their vehicles for sale.
