Campgrounds in Amsterdam: all 11 mapped

Where the concierge points people first

Camping Zeeburg Amsterdam — On Zeeburgereiland in the east, beside the water, with tents, cabins and a sociable crowd. Close enough to cycle into town. (52.3654, 4.9591)
Camping Vliegenbos — In woodland in Noord, with the quiet that comes from being across the IJ. A bus or bike and ferry into the center. (52.3905, 4.9283)
Buurtcamping Slotermeer — A buurtcamping, a neighborhood campsite set up in a local park for a few days in summer. Meant for residents to meet each other, so read how to join before assuming it is open to visitors. (52.3822, 4.8357)

Wild camping is not allowed anywhere in the Netherlands

Pitching a tent outside an official site, wildkamperen, is against the law across the Netherlands, and Amsterdam's parks are patrolled; this includes sleeping in a campervan on the street. That makes the handful of proper campsites the only legal option. Some of them close outside the main season, and in summer, especially around King's Day in late April and the long holidays, they fill up. Book ahead rather than arriving with a tent on your back, and confirm the season dates for the site you choose.
