  • Small and friendly rural site with fishing pond in central Holland
  • Rotterdam and Amsterdam within an hour and 15 minutes' drive
  • Restaurant and bar with buffet evenings; shop and bike hire
Have a West Netherlands welcome on this friendly site in the centre of Holland, with easy access to getting out and about: Camping de Grienduil is a well-maintained, tree-lined spot surrounded by Utrecht countryside, a two-minute drive from the village of Nieuwland and 10 minutes from the city of Leerdam. Wisely for somewhere surrounded by straight roads, soothing scenery and a general lack of hills, there’s bike hire right on site and it would be hard to pass up an opportunity to explore the surrounds by pedal power, or even take your travels on the famed Dutch cycle network further to Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Whatever you get up to, you’ll be assured of comfortable and relaxing times back at base: the site's in a natural setting of green fields and shady trees. There’s a bar and restaurant too, serving up local specialities and regular buffet evenings. A small shop, a fishing pond and a playground are also on site, along with a pétanque court for you to flex your competitive streak. Shops, supermarkets and restaurants are in Leerdam and Gorinchem, 10 and 15 minutes’ drive away.

Liked Small family site, Location suited us as was in the middle of our previous site and Dunkirk. Staff friendly & helpful. Showers (€1) worked well & clean. WiFi didn’t work for us due to apple security.

Disliked Absolutely not their fault but there was a huge amount of midges & mosquitos spawning presumably due to the farm location with lots of standing water around. This sort of spoilt the stay for us as a couple got in our van even through the fly nets.

Nice, peaceful site with hospital hosts.

Liked Review for Camping De Grienduil

We had a lovely stay at Camping De Grienduil, a small and tranquil campsite with a peaceful rural setting. The view across the local fields was stunning, making it a great spot to unwind.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist when needed. We had a minor issue with the electric, but it was quickly resolved without any hassle.

One thing to note is that you can’t park right next to your caravan, but there is ample parking just outside, so it wasn’t a problem.

The location is fantastic—only 25 minutes from Efteling, making it a great base for visiting the theme park. It’s also close to Leerdam, where you can explore the glass museum and watch live glass-blowing demonstrations.

Overall, a great little campsite, and we’d definitely stay again!

Toilet and shower block was lovely and warm and clean

Liked Made very welcome and a nice gift for my pooch.

Disliked The pitch was very muddy. The hard standing was alongside but not allowed park on that.

From the manager: Thank you for the review. The pitch you were standing on is a very much used pitch by campers. But your still standing on a hard surface. Under the place you are standing on is a special construction so you cannot get stucked or slip away. The hard standing tiles is to get out of your camper/caravan without getting wet feet. We had a lot of rain the daus before.

Disliked Very dated shower/toilet block and run-down appearance of facilities. Damp/fusty smell in accommodation and bedding needed updating. Large additional charge made for cleaning.

Overall a lovely site with lovely people.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass site

Liked Posto molto accogliente e bello in tutti i sensi. Panorama stupendo, e location molto pulita. Dalle piazzole ai servizi comuni come bagni e docce. Non mi posso lamentare di nulla. Se dovessi consigliare un campeggio in Olanda farei sicuramente questo nome.
Offre anche vari servizi come: Wi-Fi, colazione
Inoltre ogni postazione è dotata di un punto acqua e corrente, molto essenziali in un campeggio. Che dire, fantastico!!

Local attractions

Whether you make the trip on two wheels or four, nearby Leerdam is worth a visit for its museums of crystal and glassmaking, and well-stocked AquaZoo aquarium. Gorinchem (15 minutes’ drive) has a a well-designed local museum and a pretty harbour for half-day wanders and alfresco coffee stops. There’s more history on offer at the moated 14th-century Loevestein Castle (half an hour) while Kinderdijk (40 minutes) has UNESCO heritage status for its spread of old windmills, with museums attached. A major container port, Rotterdam, an hour away, tends to get overlooked: away from the ships there are museums, art galleries, a zoo and covered market, as well as playgrounds, boat and train rides, a petting zoo and various splashing, pool-based antics at Plaswijck Adventure Park. Then there’s Amsterdam, about an hour and 15 minutes away but still doable for day trips: take a boat ride down the canals, explore the myriad of waterway-crossed streets and bridges, hit the Van Gogh Museum and don’t forget you can bike your way round the whole lot. If it’s countryside you’re after, you've picked well: it’s half an hour from the site to the river delta of De Biesbosch National Park, where you can walk, bike or even boat around spotting wading birds and beavers at work. Further off are the wildlife-filled heaths, woods and dunes of the Hoge Veluwe National Park (an hour's drive), home to red deer, mouflons and the Kröller-Müller Museum, containing so many works by a certain artist that it’s dubbed Van Gogh’s second home..
