Nature Campsite De Kemphaan

We are a nature campsite located on the edge of a forest. A lovely environment to stay in. The atmosphere is relaxed and so are the guests who come there. The restaurant is right next to the campsite, also in a beautiful spot by the water. When I first arrived at the campsite and restaurant, I fell in love instantly. So wonderful to be there. From the campsite you can also get to the centre of Amsterdam in no time. By bus and train, you can be at Amsterdam Central Station within 45 minutes. We normally have several Worldpackers at the campsite at the same time so there are always people to hang around with.

My name is Arnoud. I have a dream and that is to make the places I own as nice and enjoyable as possible. Preferably with nice people from all over the world. The approach is therefore mainly that we work together and that everyone takes their own responsibility. So we do it together. That is very important. You have to have a heart for the business, but then you are also directly part of the family. So the magic word with us is: Together....

My experience in the campsite and the restaurant was amazing. Arnoud is an excellent leader, flexible, helpful, great with conflict resolution and always helping us with groceries. In the campsite the tasks were simple and collaborative: cleaning, organizing, helping residents and your fellow volunteers in the kitchen. Working in the restaurant was the best, I was able to talk with locals and practice my Dutch. We also had plenty of free time, enough to explore the cities nearby Almere, like Amsterdam. In overall, it was amazing and I highly recommend for those looking for nature experience.

The Cafe is really nice, and so is the Chef.
I had some really amazing volunteers around me, so the work felt more like a continuous hangout, although we did our responsibilities as professionally as possible. We had a lot of fun! :D
The camping ground is pretty chill, although kinda cold, definitely due to the time of year.
All amenities provided, thought the internet does work best near the toilet area.
As for food, depending on who was volunteering where, they would either get their meals from the Cafe, with the knowledge of the Chef, or buy it themselves and get reimbursed later.

The experience was truly rewarding, thanks to the warm, welcoming, and supportive environment created by the host. They made me feel right at home, fostering a sense of community and cultural exchange that enriched my time there. The tasks were well-organized, ranging from campsite maintenance to assisting guests, and I learned so much while contributing to this beautiful place. The host’s clear communication, kindness, and enthusiasm for sharing their culture made this an unforgettable experience.

The whole experience was really great, I met people with whom I shared good moments, good experiences, and good conversations. I’ll cherish it a lot. Sleeping in the caravan was an experience. Arnoud covered all the food expenses, I worked at the campsite which was quite calm, and hanging out at the restaurant was really fun. I will come back
