Veere, Netherlands is the Best

One of my previous post mentioned RVers who are free or wild campers' needs such as a free and safe place to park for the night, WC for water closet = washroom = toilet, free wifi, water and not to mention food and diesel.

We have been reading conflicting feedback from motorhomers' forums about whether or not free camping is allowed in Netherlands.  One night we were approaced by two police officers who informed us in Middelburg there is s fine of Euros170 for parking in areas not designated for campers.  They were kind enough to point us where to go to sleep and park for free for the night.

We visited Veere one day out of our more than one week stay in Middelburg.  In huge parking lot by the marina which they signposted as GRATIS, we were accompanied already late at night by two motorhomes.  My husband ask both the gentlemen of the motorhomes if they are staying the night and they said they would.  We were not really confident but took the risk and stayed the night.  There was no ticket the following morning, hallelujah.

The town center provides free wifi and where we were parked exactly, there is free wifi despite being not in the center of town.  There is also a clean WC for 20 cents per use, which is the cheapest so far in our experience here in Europe.

Veere, Netherlands is now our favorite town.  We went back another day and slept there again with no ticket the following morning.
