Gilwell Ada's Hoeve has been one of the most beautiful campsites of Scouting in the Netherlands for over 90 years. It's a campsite made by and made for Scouts. The website gives you a preview, but Ada's Hoeve is an experience, you have to see it, smell it, hear it, feel it and taste it!

Unique location

Gilwell Ada's Hoeve is outdoor living to the fullest! On site you find over 25 campsites and three accommodations. The sheltered small, medium to large campsites all have their own fireplace. Each campsite is a private area within the national park of Ada's Hoeve. Additionally, Ada's Hoeve has various large playgrounds, a house and two cabins. Camping at Ada's Hoeve also means camping near the river De Vecht. Both rivers, De Vecht and Regge, offer plenty of water entertainment: swimming, rafting and canoeing, it is all possible! We also have a large stock of pioneering wood, barrels to build your own raft, a shop full of camping supplies and plenty more.

Adventure

The rural and wooded surrounding simply asks for adventure, for example hiking with overnight stays at Zeesserveld or Eerde! The city of Ommen is a wonderful town, especially during summer! Every year it has summer events, markets and disco nights. You can also rent bicycles, canoes, tilt-carts and horses. Since 1923 Scouts have been camping at Gilwell Ada's Hoeve. Memories are everywhere! You will notice that every campsite has its own name for a special reason. Ask the camp staff or try figuring it out yourself. Boy Scouts from Singapore 'planted' an everlasting memory at the site Jongensveld. It is a totem pole of 13 metres. Scouts, but also non-Scouts love to camp at Ada's Hoeve, make international friends, share the best experiences ever and have fun! See you soon!
