Planning a Campervan Trip from Amsterdam

Quick summary: Planning a campervan trip from Amsterdam starts with choosing a pickup, a vehicle and the season. Dutch roads are excellent and distances short, but cyclists are everywhere, some cities have environmental zones, and wild camping is not allowed. Book your RV rental and campsites well ahead for tulip season and summer, when demand peaks, and plan to explore Amsterdam itself without the campervan or motorhome.
