Surroundings
Schagen: Historic Charm & Folklore Markets
This charming historic town is perfect for a relaxing day out. Visit the lively market square around the Grote Kerk, where you can enjoy a drink on one of the many inviting terraces. In summer, the famous "West Frisian Folklore" market on Thursdays brings history to life with traditional costumes, parades, and old crafts. Don't forget the castle towers for a glimpse into the history of the local nobility. It's an atmospheric place to shop, dine, and soak up Dutch culture.
North Sea Beaches: Sun, Sand & Coastal Fun
For a breath of fresh air, head to the wide sandy beaches of Callantsoog or Petten. These coastal gems are perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or taking long walks along the water’s edge. Children will love building sandcastles, while parents can relax at one of the beach pavilions, such as "Woest", for a meal with a sea view. Whether you come for a summer sunset or a brisk walk in the wind, the beach offers pure relaxation and fun for the whole family.
Schoorl Dunes: The Highest Dunes & Hiking Trails in the Netherlands
Nature lovers should definitely visit the Schoorl Dunes, where you’ll find the highest dunes in the Netherlands. This unique National Park offers a breathtaking contrast between expansive heathlands, dense pine forests, and rolling sand hills. It’s a paradise for hikers and cyclists, with more than 60 km of trails winding through the landscape.
The absolute highlight for families is the "Klimduin" (Climbing Dune) right in the center of Schoorl. This 51-meter-high sand hill is an adventurous playground where children can endlessly run down while parents watch from the terraces below. Visit the Buitencentrum visitor center to learn more about the area's flora and fauna before heading out to explore.
Texel: Seal Spotting & Island Adventures
A day trip to the island of Texel is an unforgettable adventure that starts just a short drive away in Den Helder. Even the ferry crossing itself is an experience; in just 20 minutes you’ll cross the Wadden Sea and often spot seabirds along the way. Once on the island, you’ll find yourself in a completely different world, with an island vibe, meadows full of sheep, and charming villages like Den Burg and De Koog. Visit Ecomare to see seals and porpoises up close, or climb the iconic red lighthouse at the northern tip for a spectacular view. The island is especially bike-friendly, making it easy to rent a bike and explore the dunes and beaches at your own pace. It’s the perfect "holiday within a holiday."

We spent a week with tent and caravan at the Farmer's Swallow. The campsite is small with friendly owners who have an eye and ear for the guests. Very nice! The pitches were spacious and per camping field cordoned off with hedges and trees, so there was also shade. The plumbing was clean and sufficient. Wonderfully quiet despite the train, which you do not hear after a few days. It is not a campsite to go to with teenagers but with small children it is possible. Nearby is the "Petje" where you can swim, but also near Den Helder, Schagen and Hoorn. Nice base so.

Wij hebben met tent en caravan een week bij de Boerenzwaluw gestaan. De camping is kleinschalig met vriendelijke eigenaren die oog en oor hebben voor de gasten. Heel fijn! De plaatsen waren ruim en per kampeerveld afgezet met heggen en bomen, waardoor er ook schaduw was. Het sanitair was schoon en voldoende. Heerlijk rustig gestaan ondanks de trein, die hoor je niet meer na een paar dagen. Het is geen camping om naar toe te gaan met tieners maar met kleine kinderen kan het wel. Vlakbij is het 'Petje" waar je kunt zwemmen, maar ook vlakbij Den Helder, Schagen en Hoorn. Mooie uitvalsbasis dus.
