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). | |

| Feb 4, 2014 at 13:02 | comment | added | gerrit | Paalkampeerterreinen are typically limited to a single tent, no reservations, and there is a pump. For more detailed questions on those, I would recommend heading to The Great Outdoors. | |
| Feb 4, 2014 at 12:31 | comment | added | Relaxed | @BartArondson +1, great info (maybe you could make it an answer?) but the site mentions water pumps (or am I reading this wrong?) and the official site suggests space is limited to a specific number of tents so they could maybe be described as campsites with minimalistic facilities more than anything else. | |

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).
