Roermond Marina 

N51.183439, E5.964565. 

A very smart Marina development just outside of Roermond. Barriered entrance, with intercom to gain admittance. Motorhome bays are clearly marked on a large block paved area. Each bay has EHU point. Facilities are in an adjacent building, and, are of an excellent standard. In late September 2019, it is 30Euro per night! There are no other Motorhomes here, I wonder why?

Roermond. Resort Marina Oolderhuuske 

N51.192169, 5.94933. 

A very smart Marina development, with barrier controlled entrance. We do not even get as far as checking the price, it is pouring with rain, and the Marina is a fairly long bicycle ride from any "civilisation", probably a beautiful and very suitable place, in summer weather, but, not practical, given the weather forecast for the next few days.

Roermond. Helenawerf 

N51.19377, 5.979741. 

First impressions may not be good, access is poorly signed, and, you have to drive through a rather untidy boat yard to gain entry. The photographs on the SearchforSites website flatter the place. However, at 11:30 on a wet Thursday in late September, the place is half full, we reason that perhaps, people know something we don't? The plus points are: Reception (in Harbour Masters Office/Shop) are very helpful and friendly, they speak excellent English. Facilities are PortaCabin style, but are spotless, and everything works as it should. Wifi is free. Price is 15.25Euro/night, inclusive of EHU and Taxes (for two people). The town is 5 minutes walk away, and has dozens of eating/drinking places, shops, a massive Designer Outlet Centre.

Delft, Delftse Hout 

N52.01813 E4.37919

Delftse Hout,  is an ACSI site, located in a park area, about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Delft (old town). The approach was slightly confusing, at least, it confused me! requiring two attempts, first time around. First, the wrong turn. Second time around, the correct turn! Basically do NOT turn left at the second set of lights, but, wait for the roundabout, right infant of IKEA. This site's major attraction is it's proximity to Delft. It is also near Rotterdam and The Hague (they are even in bicycle range).
