Windmills and Tulips Campervan Itinerary: 5 Days
Quick summary: This 5-day campervan itinerary covers the Netherlands’ most famous scenery: windmills at Zaanse Schans and Kinderdijk, Keukenhof and the bulb fields, and the canal town of Delft, finishing in Rotterdam. It works best in spring, when the tulips bloom, though the windmills are worth seeing year-round. Book your RV rental and campsites early for tulip season in a campervan or motorhome.
