    Indeed. And nobody will point or fire a gun at you if by accident you trespass ... Commented Feb 3, 2014 at 21:11

    The Dutch are smart enough to tell the difference between wild animals and tourists ;-) Commented Feb 3, 2014 at 21:46

    Camping outside campsites... is not allowed. While true 90% of the time, there's a thing called paalkampeerplek (which roughly translates to pole campingground) which are places throughout the woods were you are allowed to camp "in the wild". There are no facilities, just a sign saying you're allowed to stay there. Here's more info on it (in Dutch). Commented Feb 4, 2014 at 10:55

    Addendum: If the woodlands are owned by Natuurmonumenten, you're likely not even allowed to enter after sundown.

    And please take that "stay out of forests after sundown" seriously. It's unlikely you'd get caught or anything, but our nature is stressed enough as it is, that rule exists for a reason. Asking people for a place to put up a tent for one night is a much better idea (we did that in the boy scouts, lots of stories). Commented Feb 6, 2014 at 15:50
