The pods

  • 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.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite

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!!

FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked: dedicated pitches; despite no cars at pitches, you can still drop off your stuff by car at your pitch; beautiful scenery - ducks, rabbits, views, chickens, dykes; endless walks and bike rides - I recommend using Komoot app for planning; each pitch has a hardstanding/paved section - perfect for table/cooking/gazebo; clean facilities - spotless toilets and showers; tidy and well looked after; laundry facilities - perfect for touring holidays; on-site cafe - great comfort food when you are too tired to cook after a busy day of adventures; friendly and attentive staff; great communications - I had a few questions before travelling - they responded quickly and comprehensively; quiet campsite - we loved it...; flat and perfectly level pitches (as expected from the Netherlands, but worth still worth mentioning!); free and good quality wi-fi across the site (if it's important to you); each pitch has its own water tap next to it so no need to take your water butt; natural privacy screens between pitches (bushes etc).

Disliked: cannot think of any!

FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked: Betreiber sind sehr nett, und der Platz sehr ruhig. Wir waren nur eine Nacht als Zwischenstopp hier.Und haben uns Utrecht angeschaut.

Disliked: Blöd finde ich dass es keine richtige Trennung zwischen Mann und Frau bei den Sanitären Anlagen gibt. Und der Ausguss für die Chemische Toilette ist sehr schmutzig. Für eine Nacht Ok.

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..
