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!
Each campsite at Ada’s Hoeve has its own unique features, like small wooded campsites, large meadows or fields near the river. You can build your troop camp together, near each other or create your own little campsites on site.
A couple of examples. The smallest campsites are Anloo and Jan Houtman, for approximately 15 Scouts. Larger campgrounds are Gouden Pijl and Roggeveld B, both have the capacity till 200 people. But we have plenty of campsites in between. If you are looking for a place where each troop can have its own spot, then Leidersveld I, Leidersveld II and Renbaan A will suit you. It goes without saying, that each campsite has its own fireplace.
Would you like to go camping beside the river De Vecht? Where it is possible to crawl out your tent and go swimming or canoeing straight away at dawn! Then you should choose Klein Duivenbos, Purmerend or Gouden Pijl.
Some campsites are for rent too including an accommodation. Perfect for the Beavers! A building has many advantages, you’ll always have a dry and warm place to cook and sleep. These accommodations can also be booked for trainings, day courses or any other meetings. If someone books Leidersveld I and/or Leidersveld II, most of the time these campsites are booked in combination with the cabins.
More than 25 campsites and 3 accommodations!
Outdoor Centre Gilwell Ada’s Hoeve has over 25 campsites and 3 accommodations, waiting for your weekend trip, camping holiday or any other outdoor activity. Either you like a small campsite for your Explorer Scouts or a couple of campgrounds for thousands of Cubs? Everything is possible at Gilwell Ada’s Hoeve!
