Amsterdam camp site

Any recommendations? Prefer something close to city centre if possible and also not under flight path

I wish I could remember the name of the place we stayed at, it was in a small villade just outside the dam. On the inland sea coast. Had good bus links to the city.

I think it was slightiy souh of the dam.

Well - you've got about 12 months to remember it! We're not going till 2012!

We stayed at a great one last year and I have the sticker on my loo, remind me to look if I forget to look and reply.

Camping Zeeburg, originally recommended to us by LHD, was there last weekend, friendly place, real helpful staff clean toilets. Only 15 mins to city centre by tram - book in advance as they get busy! Think it was about £20 a night inc electric

Thanks Jake and Jed. It's not till next year, but always worth planning ahead!

hi,

stay in amsterdam quite a bit and have used zeeburg and vliegenbos and for me camping vliegenbos is the better of the two. stayed there over easter and it cost us 28 euros per night inc. hook up showers etc (some inc. zeeburg charge for showers) very good well set up site and about a 10 min walk to a free ferry which takes you to the back of central station so you are then bang in the centre of the city. forgot to say the ferry runs continuosly all day till about 1 in the morning i think and if your a bit of a night owl it'll cost about 13 euros in a taxi back to the campsite. hope this is of some help.

Mel.

Camping Zeeburg, originally recommended to us by LHD, was there last weekend...

You were? So were we! Were you the poptop in field C?

I can also recommend Gaasper Camping - slightly further out than Zeeburg but a nice cycle and pretty good for public transport. Doesn't take bookings but its a big site and they've always managed to squeeze us in when Zeeburg was full. Nice facilities, bit more of a conventional family feel compared to Zeeburg's international backpacker hippy chic.

We have also stayed at vliegenbos, its a very good campsite, although do watch the UV lights
Its pretty handy 15 min walk to the ferry which takes ya to the main station in the dam.

Ahhhh thats it, Vliegenbos we were going to stay at the other one but luckily it was full so we went to Vliegenbos and it was much nicer.
