Camping among the Tulips

Of course we have been singing it for years….’Then I’ll send you Tulips from Amsterdam’. One thing is certain: the tulip does not come from Amsterdam. After a long adventurous journey through Tibet and Turkey, this beautiful flower ended up in the Netherlands. And especially in the north of North Holland. Here you can camp among the tulip fields!

Largest Flower Bulb Area in the world

In Holland Boven Amsterdam you will find the largest contiguous Flower Bulb area in the world. Every year in April it is 1 big Flower Wealth here. Camping Boven het Maaiveld is located in the middle of those flower fields. In West Friesland, the farmer plants his tulip bulbs in nets on the West Frisian clay and more towards the sea you will find the tulips on sandy soils.

Camping among the flower fields

How nice is that! Your caravan directly on or preferably in the middle of a tulip field. Unfortunately, this is often just a little too much to ask. The tulips are planted on a different plot every year, so you can never say for sure where the flowering fields are. At Camping Boven het Maaiveld, however, the fields are always close by. The lands around the campsite are used in turn to plant the tulips. The blooming tulip is never far away!

Cycling and walking among the tulip fields

From the campsite you can cycle and walk for hours between the tulip fields and there are also many trips to attractions that tell you more about the Dutch tulip. For example, on Land van Fluwel you can learn everything about the journey that the Netherlands’ most famous flower has made with an audio tour and you will find the polder garden in Anna Paulowna, a small keukenhof without mass tourism. During the tulip bloom period, there are walking and cycling tours throughout the area where the farmers are happy to introduce you to the Netherlands’ most famous export product. During many hikes, you even walk across the land past the blooming flower beds. Highly recommended!

Flowering time tulip fields

The tulip fields bloom, depending on the weather, between the beginning of April and the beginning of May. If you are at Camping Boven het Maaiveld during this period, we will be happy to tell you where the most beautiful fields are and where you might be able to take a look at the tulip farmer. If you don’t have a bike with you, we will of course arrange this for you. Or if you prefer to explore West Friesland on an e-chopper or e-walker, that is also possible. We are happy to help you with a fully catered tulip tour.

Tulips Above Ground Level

The blooming tulip fields are becoming increasingly popular. Therefore, don’t wait too long to book your camping pitch at the campsite, so that you are assured of beautiful blooming views. View our pitches and accommodations here.
