Answer
I haven't done a lot of camping with the kids recently, but one place I have been which is nice is in & around Maastricht
The city itself is really beautiful and has it's fair share of attractions http://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/maastricht-nl-lb-maast.htm
We stayed at a little campsite at nearby Schin op Geul http://www.campingvinkenhof.nl/english/index.html which was perfect. It is rural and a nice site, but has the essentials (if you are not interested in roughing it totally) ie showers, toilets and also a swimming pool and other kids's area's. However it was pretty busy as well though in fairness
The surrounding area, little villages like Gulphen, & Schin op Geul are really pretty. Then of course if you want more life then Maastricht is nearby. Valkenburg is nice, and has caves which are fun for kids to visit. Here's the link to the official tourist info site for Maastricht http://www.vvv-maastricht.eu/home.html
It is more about getting out there, walking, or biking etc and spending time with the family this way, rather than amusement parks and so on, but I guess it depends on what you like as a family.
P.S. - Sorry but I disagree with the above answer. Camping is pretty popular within the Netherlands. You only have to look at the amount of campsites in the Netherlands to see that. Weather is a hinderance and in the winter then ok it's not popular because of the weather, but we do have some nice sunny months as well as rainy ones!

Camp counseling places?
Okay, I am twelve, but will be thirteen in summer, and during the summer I want to counsel at a little kids camp somewhere in Texas. Does anyone know of anygood places or websites?
Answer
Try Summercamps.com website. You can browse camps by state or by the type of camp they are. There is also a section to search for summer camp jobs. I was a counselor when I was 14 or 15 and really enjoyed it.
I hope this helps you!!
Good Luck & Have Fun!!
