Westfriesland is actually too big and beautiful to explore in one day. So come and stay overnight in one of the awesome hotels or cosy B&Bs. Camping or renting a cottage is of course also possible: there are plenty of nice (nature) campsites and holiday parks. Where do you dream away?

3x one with nature

  • Above 't Maaiveld in Hoogwoud

    A campsite for birds of paradise, as they call it themselves. What that means? Making new stories by the campfire, performances in the Orangery, tasting local cheeses and adventure all over.

  • Dijk & Meer in Andijk

    Dew on the grass, the sun slowly rising, whistling birds, rustling leaves and the IJsselmeer within walking distance. In the evening, bake a pizza in one of the ovens or roast marshmallows by the campfire. The children? They have a great time wandering around with their new friends.

  • Dozing among the grapes

    With names like 'Wine House Pinot Noir' and 'Wine House Baron', you can't help but find yourself in a special holiday home. And so it is: at Saalhof in Wognum, you sleep in the middle of the vineyard and feel completely at peace. Lovely, those French atmospheres. In the country house - in 1930s style - of Saalhof is a bed and breakfast with views over the vineyard. Prefer to come by motorhome? That is also possible here. Just like dining in the restaurant for a bite to eat and a glass of wine from Saalhof itself.

Staying overnight with children

  • A visit to the Kinderparadijs Koggenland campsite in Hensbroek means plenty of fun in the indoor and outdoor play areas.
  • Safari tent? Pipo wagon? Come to Villavakantiepark IJsselhof in Andijk. With swimming pool, petting zoo, indoor play paradise, trampolines and a pony ranch.
  • An indoor swimming pool with a slide – that alone is enough to make them happy. But there’s plenty more fun to be had at the EuroParcs – IJsselmeer holiday park in Medemblik.
  • Difficult choice: to the playground, the panna field or swimming in the lake after all. At Chaletpark Holiday in Hensbroek, boredom does not exist.
  • At Park Westerkogge in Berkhout, they splash in the outdoor pool, run along paths or play a game of football on the field.
