Keukenhof and the Bulb Fields by Campervan

Quick summary: A spring campervan trip almost always includes Keukenhof. The garden, near Lisse between Haarlem and Leiden, is among the world’s most famous spring gardens, surrounded by the striped tulip fields of the Bollenstreek. It opens only for the spring season, so trips timed for the bloom need careful booking. Stay at a campsite nearby, arrive at opening time, and cycle the flower routes between the fields, leaving your RV rental, campervan or motorhome parked.
