A Camp to Meet

Updated: Jun 9, 2022

Every year residents go on holiday in their park. For three days, the park is a cosy campsite inhabited by all the people in the neighbourhood: from young urban professionals to the homeless, from wallflowers to hustlers and from infants to seniors. They all live together and meet each other full of positive energy. These encounters inspire good examples, self-confidence, a feeling of home in the neighbourhood, collaborations, friendships and relationships. All new connections strengthen the neighbourhood.


What started in 2013 with one Neighborhood Campsite in the Oosterpark in Amsterdam, there were no fewer than 35 throughout the Netherlands in 2019, where more than 5250 residents camped together in their park. For 2021, 45 Neighborhood Campsites were planned throughout the country, but due to the stricter rules in the summer, many campsites had to adjust their plans or could not continue. Our goal is to realize 65 Neighborhood Campsites throughout the Netherlands by 2022. And thus allow even more special encounters to take place and enrich neighbourhoods.


Are there no Neighborhood camps in your area yet? Set up a Neighborhood Campsite yourself in 2022 in your city park! Would you like to know more about this, then you can visit the website or contact buurtcamping.
