You may be exploring whether you could open a campsite. Perhaps you have run a small site for years and want a clearer view of reservations. Or you want guests to understand your campsite better before they arrive. These guides treat those questions separately.
Each practical guide starts with a familiar situation and helps you choose a next step. Information about Dutch rules links to the relevant official sources. A national overview cannot determine what is permitted on your particular plot or how the rules apply to your business.
Where to start
- Still exploring an idea or location? Start with Starting a campsite and take a sketch and questions to your first discussion.
- Already welcoming guests? Start with Managing a campsite and check arrivals, changes and handovers.
- Want to explain your existing offer more clearly? Start with Growing your campsite and check what a guest sees on a phone.
