    The campsite located behind North Holland farmhouse from the early 1900s, and the beach is a 15-minute walk away with a beach pavilion. The camping site is in the middle of the largest contiguous flower bulb area in the world.
    Monique (owner) is an ambassador of the Wadden Sea and affiliated with the organization 'het Groene strand'. She regularly takes the guests on ‘beach expeditions’ and lets them experience nature on the beach. If the weather conditions are right, she also takes guests to the beach in the dark in search for the magical experience of "Zeevonk" (Sea Sparcle), where the bioluminescent sea will glow when it's disturbed by a wave breaking or a splash in the water at night.
