We are very happy (response to Vanhiernaarnergens -what’s in a name?-) that you can make reservations at Erve Velpen. Every day we drive our van to visit family and find our reserved spot here again in the evening. Moreover, it is a reality these days that popular camper sites are full during the high season. We always enjoy coming here, even if only for the warm hospitality we experience here.

We give this 5 stars. While there are no amenities, we still find this an idyllic spot because: grass and trees, cows with tinkling bells, a church bell that still chimes every fifteen minutes, the sound of roosters crowing in the distance in the morning, and the swimming pool nearby. Plus, the sign at the entrance with a warm welcome. The five pitches fill up quickly, but the first night there were eight of us, and the second night eleven.

It's great that there are such campervan sites in Germany. With our campervan, we can go "off the grid," and in this case, it was free. Plenty of trash bins, one on the property and others nearby. Grifte has charming half-timbered houses and an impressive church tower. Rewe supermarket nearby. Living in a town where no trains run and the construction of a station has been a dream of many drivers for years, we enjoyed the sound of the train.

No matter how often we visit, we can always count on a warm welcome. The owner is a truly exceptional host, generous with salads and always makes time for a chat. Furthermore, the pitches are spacious, the bathrooms are excellent, and the surroundings are beautiful. Erve Velpen is by far our favorite campervan spot!

Five stars for this place because it is so beautifully situated on the Waal. Large boats sail back and forth. Indeed, no other facilities but with our van we can be ‘off the grid’ anywhere. Manager friendly on the phone and when paying. You can also check for a spot yourself: varik.nl and then look at the webcam. As for work and associated noise on the dike: we are not bothered by that very quickly but that is of course personal.

Where else can you find this: a beautiful camper spot with good facilities for only €12 per night?! We are fans! Beautiful cycling environment and Lutterzand is always a party.

Nice to stand behind each other, because of that we had a view of the Mosel. There is a Entsorgungspunt. For this place you need to have change at hand. Standing costs €5.00 and drinking water €0.10 per 5/6 liters. The device indicates that you get 8/10 liters for that but that seems wishful thinking. For €1.00 you can fill up with more water but we didn't need that. Supermarket within walking distance. Traffic noise never bothers us so it didn't here either.

Indeed, a great place to stay overnight and free too. We have stayed less for more money. Interesting to see who drives in and out of the parking lot (in terms of cars). You could write entire novels about this… We did not find the traffic noise disturbing and it was quiet at night. Only that one duck/goose, that keeps on chattering. Seems to us an extremely suitable candidate for Christmas 😉.
