Hi!
Ehm, the part I really like is the south western part (Zuid Holland) and the middel part (Overijsel).
Zuid Holland is below sealevel with lots of 'polders' with wide views. Near the sea are the dunes which are also worth visiting as they are quite unique....
Overijsel is a real river landscape.
In Holland there are many longdistance cycleroutes whitch cover the mosty beautiful parts. They are called called LF-routes and every route is described in its own book with maps etc.

I also would recommend buying a Lonely Planet.
For campings:
Natuurcampings (nature campsites) are small, silent,cheap and simple campings. Excellent for low budget camping.
I like them the most
Their website:
http://www.natuurkampeerterreinen.nl
Click on the map to find the campings. All natuurcampings listed:
http://www.natuurkampeerterreinen.nl/index.asp?pza=toon_accomodaties
The ANWB (Dutch automobile club) also has a camping list of all campings in Holland and Belgium (in dutch):
https://webwinkel.anwb.nl/published/webs...xemburg.nl.html
Or search under http://www.anwb.nl/ig/vakanties/campings/bestemming.jsf
To search for campsites look at the left site of th escreen under
"Zoek een camping
Bestemming"
And fill in the place where you would like to camp.
Campsites cost between 6-15E. Wild camping is not allowed but if you ask a farmer you can put up your tent in his fields for a small fee if you are lucky. Some farmers also have small campsites called "kamperen bij de boer" (camp at the farm) and these sites are also quite cheap.
But the best ones are the natuurcampings.
I bought most of my equipment using e-bay and I did not have a single problem. It is safe, cheap and fast.
If you have more questions just ask
Cycle the world,
