Camper van route through the Netherlands: from Texel to Limburg

The author traveled through the Netherlands by camper van, visiting 11 provinces. The route included ferries to the islands of Texel, Terschelling, and Vlieland, as well as a camper van version of the Eleven Cities Tour. Special attention is given to camper sites with infrastructure: in Ootmarsum, built-in ramps for leveling and separate kitchen units are installed. In Valkenburg, the Den Driesch campsite has been closed due to a dispute with the municipality, but a renovated camper park on the Cauberg has opened.

Residents in Boxmeer complain about neighbor's motorhome parked on driveway

In Boxmeer, neighbors are frustrated with a 7-meter motorhome that has been parked on a driveway for over five months for two consecutive years. The owner is not breaking rules as it is on private property, but on public roads, parking is limited to three days in most municipalities in North Brabant. The number of fines for violations increased from 218 in 2015 to 1,175 in 2024.

A neighbor filed a complaint with the municipality, claiming the vehicle spoils the street view and reduces quality of life.
