Egmond

Egmond aan den Hoef belongs to the municipality of Bergen. The municipality of Bergen consists of Egmond aan Zee, Egmond a/d Hoef, Egmond Binnen, Bergen, Bergen aan Zee, Schoorl and Groet. On the south, west and north side of the municipality of Bergen you will find the North Holland Dune Reserve. In the dunes, you can go on hours of cycling and dune walks both to the south and north.

Egmond has a rich history. In Egmond-Binnen you can visit the old abbey and for example in Egmond aan den Hoef you can visit the ruins of the castle of the Count of Egmond. Egmond aan Zee has its characteristic fishing houses and lighthouse.

Egmond aan Zee has a small, but very cozy shopping street: the Voorstraat. In the season there is an atmospheric night market/fair on Wednesdays.

Restaurant Zorgeloos

On the corner of Herenweg/Weg naar de Bleek, immediately when you turn to our camper place, is the cozy little restaurant Zorgeloos. The restaurant is open from Wednesday to Sunday and it is highly recommended to let Angreth and Joost spoil you with culinary delights.
Menu Zorgeloos.

Tip: there is a large terrace at the restaurant, only 450 meters from the motorhome site, so perfect for meeting up with your family and friends!

Alkmaar

The camper place is 10 km. away from Alkmaar. The city centre of Alkmaar is regarded as one of the best and coziest shopping cities in the Netherlands.

On Fridays from the last Friday of March to August, Alkmaar holds the world-famous Alkmaar Cheese Market.
(10 - 13 h.)

There are also evening cheese markets on Tuesdays in July and August.
(19 - 21 h.)

It is nice in Alkmaar to take a cruise through the canals, either by yourself (rental) or with a guided tour boat.
