Camper places
At the “De Hoop” flour mill there are 14 places to spend the night with your camper. Mill “de Hoop” is a mill completely restored in 2011-2013 with its origins from 1631. The mill is run entirely by volunteers only. All the money that comes in is spent on the maintenance of the mill.
From this place you can explore the surrounding polder landscape by bike or on foot or enjoy the nearby sea, beach and dunes.
Because there is no supervision on site, no reservations can be made in advance.

Access
To access the area for the campers, call a telephone number which is stated on the information board at the entrance gate. You will then receive an access code which you can enter on the access post. The entrance gate will then open and automatically close again after entering. With the same access code you can also open the gate again if you want to go outside or if you come back from a walking or cycling tour.
After arrival, first register at the info desk with envelope. The specially pre-printed envelope is in the tray at the info desk. After filling in the information, you deposit it, including the overnight contribution, in the mailbox, which hangs on the info desk.
