Can you sleep in a van in Netherlands?

Wild camping is not allowed in the Netherlands, and each municipality sets its own rules in its local bylaw (APV). Sleeping in a vehicle on public streets and in ordinary car parks is generally prohibited, so use camperplaatsen and campsites.
The rules
  • Large vehicles (over 6 m long or 2.4 m high) are often limited to about 3 days on public streets.
  • Fines vary by municipality.
Where to stay legally

Camperplaatsen (roughly €10–25 a night), small farm campsites and campsites.

Local names: camperplaats (motorhome pitch), minicamping / boerencamping (small farm campsite)

Good to know
  • Low-emission zones (milieuzones) in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and other cities mainly restrict older diesels; check milieuzones.nl.
  • Motorways are toll-free.

Checked October 2026. Fines and prices are indicative, and local signs always take priority. Sources: Campercontact: parking a motorhome in the Netherlands · milieuzones.nl
