not Wentwel (Campspace 4711)
A small campsite in Heemskerk, Noord-Holland: space for one tent, two small ones if necessary. Motorhomes aren't welcome here—that's made clear right at the start of the description, and there's not much else to say. So the surroundings take over. To the west stretches the dune belt of Kennemerland all the way to the North Sea, and on mornings you hear gulls calling inland. Alkmaar with its cheese market and Haarlem lie in the same flat countryside, reachable via cycle paths through polders and meadows. Little in the way of activities, plenty of wind.1

Sights in the area1
Zuid-Kennemerland National Park
Dune landscape between IJmuiden and Bloemendaal, with sandy paths running down to the beach. Bison and Highland cattle graze here; half a day on foot covers a loop.
Wijk aan Zee
North Sea resort west of Heemskerk, wide beach, steady wind off the water. The obvious choice for an afternoon too cold for swimming and too dull for sitting still.
Alkmaar
Canal town north of Heemskerk, known for the historic cheese market on the Waagplein. The old centre can be walked in a couple of hours, drizzle included.
Haarlem
Old town on the Spaarne, with the Grote Kerk right on the market square. The Frans Hals Museum shows Golden Age painting and is the rainy-day standby of the area.
