Camping Waterhout

Very nice quiet campsite! Super showers. 5 km by bike to the big shopping city. Very friendly staff. We would come back.

We spent four nights there in June 2022. The site was originally located on the grounds where the Floriade 2022 was held in the meantime. Since then, it has been located at the new site in the northern part of the city in a natural setting. The staff welcomed us nicely and were helpful. The pitches are of a good size (about 100 sqm) and are arranged in a circular shape on a peninsula in a lake. Electricity and water are located directly at the pitch. The terrain is flat and partly divided by hedges (mainly gravel paths and meadow areas). There are sunny places and shaded spots by tall trees. Additionally, there are small cabins and safari lodges for glamping stays. In one area of the campsite, there is a small enclosure with chickens and goats. The catering options were somewhat limited on the site, but sufficient for a small hunger. For variety, one should have at least a bicycle with them (bike rental on site), as the nearest restaurants are a bit further away. The nearest supermarket (Albert Heijn) is about 2 km away. There are two washhouses, which are adequately equipped (unisex). The cleanliness of the sanitary facilities could be improved in detail, but it was still okay. The site is well suited for visiting the city of Almere and cycling tours to the neighboring nature reserve. There is also enough offered for water sports enthusiasts and boaters. From Almere, you can wonderfully take the train to Amsterdam and explore the metropolis. Overall, a nice, manageable, and friendly site.

With Expo probably overbuilt…

superb location (currently a bit noisy due to construction), swimming, fishing, SUP, canoeing... everything is possible, an interesting city right nearby
