Motorhome trip through the Netherlands

Published 13 Oct 2026

A comfortable motorhome, lush landscapes, historic coastal towns, and impressive storm barriers. When Stefan Janeld drove a Kabe Novum 750 LGB towards the Netherlands, the trip became an exciting adventure and a testament to how comfortable a well-planned motorhome lifestyle can be.

The journey began in Tenhult where Stefan picked up his Kabe Novum 750 LGB. The first night was spent in Helsingborg before continuing across the Öresund Bridge and through Denmark towards the Netherlands. A road closure on the highway through Hamburg led to a detour through the city center – a detour that offered new impressions and a glimpse of a city he would gladly visit again. The destination was Zeeland, the southwesternmost part of the Netherlands, where the sea is always present. The region, characterized by long sandy beaches and historic coastal towns, has a well-developed network of ställplatser. Since free camping is not permitted in the Netherlands, the trip also became an exploration of the country’s well-organized ställplats culture, where electricity, services, and bike paths are often right outside the door.

Neeltje Jans and the Delta Project
In Zeeland, Stefan visited, among other places, Middelburg with its magnificent town hall, the port city of Vlissingen where large ocean-going ships pass close to the promenade, and Westkapelle with its mighty sand dunes and lighthouse.

– The history is always present in Zeeland, not least through memories of World War II and the catastrophic flood of 1953 that changed the entire region, explains Stefan.

One of the most memorable visits of the trip was Neeltje Jans, the information center where visitors can learn about the story of the Delta Project – the enormous storm barriers built to protect the Netherlands from the sea.

– The engineering behind the facility is impressive and provides perspective on how the country has worked for decades to keep the sea at bay, says Stefan.

The journey then continued north to the famous Keukenhof flower park. Here, he was greeted by blooming hyacinths, daffodils, and the first tulips, although he notes that the true floral display comes a little later in spring. He found a more peaceful alternative in Poldertuin in Anna Paulowna – a smaller park with the same floral atmosphere but significantly fewer visitors.

Great Motorhome Country
After nearly three weeks and about 300 miles, Stefan summarizes his trip with great appreciation for both the country and the motorhome. He particularly highlights the Kabe Novum 750 LGB's excellent driving comfort, stable handling, and efficient water-based heating system, which made chilly and windy spring nights comfortable. At the same time, he notes that the Netherlands is an unusually easy country to travel in with a motorhome.

– The distances between attractions are short, there are many parking spots, and the infrastructure is well adapted for motorhome travelers.

The only recommendation for the next visit is to travel a bit later in spring, when more attractions have opened and the tulip fields are in full bloom.
