Free spaces for your camper van
Camper vans – confusingly known as ‘campers’ in Dutch – are most welcome and very popular in Zeeland. You’re as free as a bird so stay as long as you want. In Zeeland, it’s always tempting to move on to the next discovery. Follow an ANWB route of the Dutch touring club. Take each day as it comes, relishing the freedom of your own route.
You can park your camper van at a good many campsites in Zeeland – they often have special spaces. Some drivers prefer this; others opt for simpler sites. These have fewer facilities, or none at all, but the stay is low-cost, or even free.
Below you can find a selection of free camper van parking spots in Zeeland. Please note: changes may occur from time to time. Always check in advance whether your preferred camper van spot in Zeeland is still free of charge – for example, via a local tourist information center or a website such as campercontact.com.
