  • Peaceful family-run site in the South Holland region
  • Within 45 minutes' drive of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague
  • Barbecues welcome; shops in Ter Aar, five minutes' drive away
Need a break from the pace of your normal life? At Camping de Oude Rijn, a five-minute drive – or short cycle – from the neighbouring town of Ter Aar in South Holland, it's time to slow it all down with some laidback activities. What a spot: the site is only 25 minutes' drive away from the Keukenhof flower garden and 45 minutes from Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. Golfing fans, listen up too: the greens at Zeegersloot golf club are five minutes' drive from the site, where wannabe pros can do some practising on the driving range, take lessons and play their way around 27 holes, then thoroughly sample the eats and drinks of the bar-restaurant. Anglers can throw out a line from the fishing piers at Zegerplas, under 10 minutes’ drive from the site, and reel in perch, roach, bream or pike. Zegerplas not fulfilling your fishing dreams? The Kromme Aar waterway or the further afield Noordeinderplas might tick the right boxes. Back on site, cook up some fish on the barbecue (bring your own, please) and tuck in beside a campfire. If you didn't have any luck with the rod and reel, there are plenty of shops in Ter Aar to pick up the essentials.

What customers say

This campsite offers a peaceful, natural setting with spacious green pitches and friendly operators, praised for its location and atmosphere. However, many reviews highlight significant issues with the dated and poorly maintained washrooms, with recurring comments on cleanliness. Some visitors found the site rundown and in need of renovation, while others noted that the basic nature of the facilities was manageable for short stays, especially if using onboard amenities.

Liked Nice grass pitch. We found one nearby a connection point for electricity.
Nice with the chickens at the site.
Cheap.

Disliked Small pitch, 28 sq. meters. Car to be parked at separate parking space.
Very few connecting points for electricity. Most campers need veeeery long cables.
Toilet service station water hose not available.
Overall impression was that the place is nit maintained for a very long time. Broken outdoor furniture in barbecue areas.
Vegetation taking over the place.

Liked Ruhiger Platz mit viel Platz im Grünen. Nette Betreiber.

Disliked Die Toiletten, Duschen und Waschräume sind zwar sauber aber mächtig in die Jahre gekommen. Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind ca.2 km entfernt...wenn man das als negativ ansehen möchte.

Liked Der Campingplatz hat Riesenpotenzial das leider nicht genutzt wird. Er ist ruhig gelegen und bei der Einfahrt zwischen den Bäumen wirkt er noch ganz charmant. Der Platz benötigt einiges an Pflege und Reparatur. Die Betreiber waren nett.

Disliked Leider lässt die Hygiene auf dem Campingplatz massiv zu wünschen übrig. Die Sanitäranlagen sind ungepflegt, wir haben uns nicht getraut zu duschen! Der Ausblick vom Stellplatz auf die ungepflegten Parzellen der Dauercamper war ebenfalls nicht sehr angenehm. Alles wirkte leider einfach nur provisorisch und schmutzig.

Liked Helemaal niets waren wij blij. Een zeer slechte camping

Disliked Het sanitair was kapot en vies. Er werd niet goed schoongemaakt. Voor 1 euro krijg je maar 3 minuten warm water. Wat een ellende!! Plaatsen waren niet opgeruimd. Overal nog spullen van voorgaande kampeerders. Diverse plaatsen die voor permanente bewoning verhuurd zijn. Allemaal oude en zwaar versleten caravans en bijzondere paradijsvogels als bewoners. Onkruid groeit zeer hoog romdom deze caravans. De foto's op de site doen anders voor als dat het daadwerkelijk is. Dit is echt geen aanrader. We stonden er voor een weekend, maar zijn na 1 nacht al vertrokken.

Local attractions

Camping de Oude Rijn is well placed for those who want the peace and quiet of the countryside but also days out on urban adventures: the site is in a central location within 45 minutes' drive of The Hague, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. On rural days, take a trip to Nieuwkoopse Plassen nature reserve (10 minutes' drive) for boat trips, water safaris, canoeing, walking and birdwatching, or head to the Netherlands’ oldest botanical gardens at Hortus Botanicus (half an hour) to see what a 16th-century garden looked like. If you’re staying at Camping de Oude Rijn during the spring, a trip to the tulip garden at Keukenhof (25 minutes) is an absolute must. Travel buddies getting on your nerves? Never fear, there’s a non-violent way to fix everything: climb inside some plastic bubbles and let your rage out with a game of bubble football at BumperFootball (25 minutes) in Leiden. If that whets your appetite for more activity, waterski, wakeboard or kneeboard at Wet ‘n Wild (10 minutes) at Zegerplas. There are plenty of theme parks in the area for kids and adults to explore: take a stroll through the history of the Netherlands – from prehistory to the Romans and on to the Middle Ages – at Archeon Museumpark, 10 minutes from Camping de Oude Rijn, or head to the amusement parks at Drievliet (half an hour) or Duinrell (half an hour) to raise your adrenaline on the rides.
