For starters ... 2 maxims about the Biesbosch National Park
1 Under no circumstances do you camp or spend the night freely, be responsible, free camping is totally prohibited as well as free spending the night outside campsites or motorhome areas
Camping is prohibited throughout the Netherlands, but in addition, the Netherlands is also prohibited from spending the night free by law.
We know that the vigilance of the police is maximum before the camping and free nights in the country and that they are fined 200 euros for it because of what colleagues have told us. So, do not camp and do not spend the night for free and against the law of the Netherlands, we must respect the rules of each place, remember you are a guest.
REMEMBER, CAMPING IS OUTSTANDING THE PERIMETER OF YOUR VEHICLE (take out table and chairs, awning, open windows ...).

Biesbosch National Park what to see and do
On your trip to the Netherlands by motorhome, the Biesbosch National Park is a must see if you like nature and water.
Cycling through the Biesbosch National Park it is pure delight. You pass by paths, bridges and wooden walkways between waters, between bogs, marshes and ponds continuously.
Just by raising your head and contemplating the landscape of this national park you realize that there is more water than land and that you are actually walking on the waters of this wonderful corner of the Netherlands.
De Biesbosch National Park is one of the few areas of world freshwater confluences creating an 8000 hectare freshwater delta. Here you can go for a walk on foot, by bicycle or canoe through a maze of rivers and streams that intertwine and embrace continuously.
Furthermore, with its numerous birds that come here to eat, it is the perfect place for amateur ornithological sightings. Another animal that they say is typical that can be seen commonly in the park, although we could not see any, is el beaver.

Where to park and spend the night in the Biesbosch National Park by motorhome
We park in one of the parking lots within the national park itself to go from there with the bicycle to the park museum and do some activities. But there, you cannot stay overnight.
For the night we went to a private motorhome area about 5 minutes away with the car that belongs to a captive fishing center and restaurant. The cost was € 10 but it does not have any type of service, it is an area where you can park and camp without services and in the middle of nowhere.
