What characterises the campsites in Friesland?

Among the 12 campsites in Friesland, 5 are family-friendly and 8 welcome dogs. The average review score of the rated campsites is 8.8/10.

The best choice depends on who you travel with. Families with children do well at a site with a pool, entertainment and a safe play area; those seeking quiet should pick a smaller site or a spot away from the crowds. With a dog, it pays to check the pet policy first.

Comparing amenities in Friesland

Amenities largely determine how much you enjoy your holiday. On each campsite's detail page in Friesland, check for a swimming pool, sanitary facilities and hot showers, Wi-Fi, a restaurant or snack bar and a shop or bread service. For families, a paddling pool, playground and entertainment are often decisive.

Keep the pitch choice in mind: from a luxury comfort pitch with private sanitary facilities to a basic, cheaper nature pitch. Travelling by caravan or motorhome, check the amperage and whether there's a drain point.

Best time to camp in Friesland

Most campsites in Friesland are open from spring through autumn. Peak season is July and August: that's when it's busiest, warmest and most expensive. Book well in advance for that period, especially at the most popular campsites.

For more quiet and softer prices, the shoulder season (May, June, September) is attractive: pleasant weather, fine scenery and plenty of pitch choice.
