Stavoren\/Starum is the oldest city of the Frisian Eleven Cities, also a Hanseatic city and it was once the home port of Frisian kings and seafarers. Shipping and trade with overseas territories brought Stavoren a lot of prosperity. Many a Viking and Dutch count gladly took advantage of that. After the 18th century, Stavoren faced many setbacks, the greatest of which is expressed in the legend of ‘The female of Stavoren’. She still peers over the old harbour.<\/p>

Still, Stavoren managed to flourish again. In the summer months it is now lively and cozy. The town is a popular place for many because of the unique location between the IJsselmeer and the Frisian Lakes. The ships of the brown fleet and the fishing vessels are located in the Oude Haven. The impressive ‘JL Hooglandgemaal’, which drains the Frisian reservoir water to the IJsselmeer, runs tirelessly all year round.<\/p>

And the ferry service between Enkhuizen and Stavoren carries thousands of tourists and cyclists every year. <\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Stavoren’s RV site is Marina Stavoren Buitenhaven<\/a>. The camper sites are located at Marina Stavoren Buitenhaven marina. A unique location, outside the dikes and a stone’s throw from the IJsselmeer. The beautiful panoramic view over the IJsselmeer radiates towards you from all sides. The motorhome is 500 m from the center. The place has a few power points, there is free wifi and there are sanitary facilities. There is also a playground, a beach and an indoor swimming pool and a croissanterie for the morning. Beach pavilion De Potvis is close to the campsite. You can come here for a tasty lunch, a nice drink with snacks, coffee with cake or an extensive dinner.<\/p>

The indoor swimming pool and the croissanterie are open from April 1 to October 31. If the main toilet block and the beach block are closed during the winter months, the disabled toilet, at the back of the large toilet block in the middle of the harbour, will be open.<\/p>
