Considering heading to the Netherlands late Dec-late Jan for my first tour. Will there even be anywhere to camp? I'm comfortable with cold weather and snow. Do you think €20/day would be do-able?

Would you be able to use a food hang? I went backcountry camping in Yellowstone and just did that. I know GTNP required bear canisters but at the time Yellowstone didn't (dunno if they do now).
