Camping in a 75 year old Amsterdam forest
07 July 2009
Of the many campsites in and around Amsterdam, one of the very best is Camping Amsterdamse Bos.
The forest (Bos) here was established in 1934 and is therefore celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. It is now a beautiful nature park with all kinds of trees, paths, meadows, ditches, canals and ponds.
The cultural attractions of Amsterdam are close by. The centre is only 12 km away, and can be reached by bicycle (rent on site!), bus or tram.
The site itself is well shaded and extends along a canal. it boasts pleasant, light toilet blocks and a communal kitchen and dinner room, that can be used free-of-charge. Other amenities include a laundry, a playground, a good shop and several sorts of accommodations.
If you are considering a visit to Amsterdam, but also want to escape the hustle and bustle, a stay at Camping Amsterdamse Bos is a very good choice.

A superb site for a camping holiday providing for all family members, whatever their ages. A drive lined with palm trees and flowers leads from a large, very smart, round reception building at this impressive modern site.
