Beyond Amsterdam, by campervan

Amsterdam is only the start. Within an hour or two you reach the windmills, the coast and the Wadden islands. Because your van is off-grid, you sleep where the day ends — no campsite required.

Texel & the Wadden Islands

Take the ferry from Den Helder to Texel: endless beaches, seal colonies and the iconic red lighthouse. Off-grid means you can watch the sunset and wake up by the dunes.

No campsite, no plug, no fuss

“Had an amazing road trip through Sweden with the Albatros. Because the van is off-grid we never had to plug in for power. Communication with Koen is smooth and fast.”

Campervan Amsterdam: your questions

Where do I pick up the campervan near Amsterdam?

Collect at Den Bloeyenden Wijngaerdt in Amstelveen, near the Onderuit Amstelveen tram stop. You receive the exact address and walking instructions when you book. Plan your connection from Amsterdam or Schiphol using an up-to-date journey planner.

Do I need a special driving licence?

No. A standard category B licence is enough to drive all of our campervans, just like a large car.

Can I really camp without a campsite or power hook-up?

Yes. Every van is fully off-grid with solar panels, a leisure battery, a water tank and a filter, so you can stay independent for days. Please respect local rules on overnight parking.

Can you deliver the van to Schiphol Airport?

Yes, for a surcharge we deliver within 50 km of Amstelveen, including Schiphol. Message us for the cost on your arrival date.

How far is Texel or the coast from Amsterdam?

The North Sea coast at Zandvoort is about 30 minutes away; the ferry to Texel from Den Helder is around 1.5 hours. With an off-grid van you can chase the sunset and sleep near the dunes.
