Campspace: camping in the backyard

Campspace: camping in the backyard

Now that we are in the middle of the summer holidays, campsites are filling up. And that makes sense, as this year a million more campers have joined the Dutch camping market. This also means more bookings at campsites. A unique way to camp nowadays is camping in the backyard of private individuals, for example via Campspace.

Perhaps you did it as a child: camping in your own backyard. Nowadays, adults can do it too! Through Campspace you can book an overnight stay in nature, right on someone else's land or in their garden! It's a small-scale way of camping and the perfect option if you want to wake up in beautiful, extraordinary places, surrounded by nature.

On the Campspace website you will find a wide range of camping pitches, tents, campers or even tree houses. Campspace offers camping pitches both within and outside the Netherlands, all with private individuals. The website is easy to use. You choose a location where you want to go, the desired dates, the number of guests and the type of camping pitch. The range of camping pitches is huge. We give a few examples.

Farmers mini Camping, Salland (OV)

This farmers mini-campsite is located in the beautiful and quiet Salland. The campsite has a beautiful view of horses in the meadow. In addition, the campsite has a small guesthouse for older horses. The camping pitches at this campsite vary from a regular camping spot to the possibility of staying overnight in a gypsy wagon.

Camping at a fort, Vuren (GE)

In Vuren, a village on the river Waal, you can camp at a real fort. It was built from 1815 and has different types of accommodations. You can stay overnight at a regular camping pitch, equipped with sanitary facilities and the possibility to use electricity. You can also stay overnight at the facilities offered by the fort. Think of a glamping tent or even in a bunker!

Camping near Amsterdam, but not in the city itself? José and Ruloff offer their backyard in Hilversum. In the backyard of their corner house, they have space for a camping spot. So that's literally in a backyard! The camping spot is equipped with a seating area including a fire pit. In addition, there is a vegetable garden. This location is also perfect if you really want to relax completely. For example, the hosts can provide an organic and vegan breakfast, lunch or dinner for you.
