We will be staying here at the end of August on our way back from Berlin. It is in Landsmeer which is about 3 mins from the Amsterdam ring road.

We stayed there for a week last year, just a simple site, about a third of the pitches look out onto the Meer, and we swam most days. There is a supermarket in the village, and a bus which takes you straight to the center of Amsterdam. The children In NL are back in school by 15th of August, so we found the place less than half full in late August away from the weekends.

Facilities were good but simple, no shop.

That's a big area, you need to narrow it down a bit.

There is a really good campsite we stayed at earlier this year right in the forest on the hill before you drop down to Brocken. I think their is only one road in and out so yo cant miss it. Its a really nice area all around their and we are thinking of going back some day.

If you want to camp near Amsterdam, look at Camping Zeeburg or Gaasper. Depends how you want to get into the city - Zeeburg is better for cycling, Gaasper is a few minutes walk from a Metro station. Both are really nice sites, Zeeburg attracts a more youthful crowd, while Gaasper is quieter and has bigger pitches.

Too true tried to narrow it down I know germany is a big country so
looking at the rhine area and the hartz mountains.
I mean if you can recommend some nice quiet sites preferably wooded near to lakes/streams we would be grateful, probably widened the area again!!

Do you think any of them are a bit dodgy as we remember staying in one through the back of the station and over a river and it was a bit dodgy well felt unsafe

Neither of the ones mentioned are remotely dodgy - I've stayed in both and they're perfectly safe.

hi
do you think you need to book arround the 12'th of august also do people think you need to book in sites in germany arround this date
steve

Zeeburg you'll want to book - its not that big and fills up in the summer. Gaasper you might get away without as its bigger, but if you're worried about it I'd book anyway, then you don't need to worry.

hi,
i was at zeeburg last week and it was full .tried again the next day and still full. we stayed at camping vliegenbos which is the one behind the station and over the river. found it really good and would go back. 15 min walk to the ferry and then its free to use ferry and you are in the centre of amsterdam in about another 5 mins. good luck in getting a spot all the amsterdam sites are very busy this time of year. cost for vliegenbos is 32 euros a night with power hook up 28 without showers etc. free.good little shop with reasonable prices for anything you need really.

Hi, I´ve just returned from a trip to the Harz, and I stayed 2 days at this campsite.

Has all you want (Hook-Ups, Cleaning Facilities, childrens playground, Bar-B-Q sites ect, it was quite big with 3 areas for "Static" type bods, but you hardly saw them because the camp is in a wood (Nice and Shady if you need it) Twenty meters from the Van was the lake, clean but not deep and for a wimp like me not to cold. It´s about 4 Kms to Clausthal-Zellerfeld.

Oh yea. It cost me and my buddy with my van and his tent plus electric hook-up 20€ per night. And you don´t need to leave the next day untill 18:00.

I liked it
