City camping Overboord: city beach and camping in Den Bosch
Where the lock keeper used to live and open the lock gates for incoming ships, a city beach and campsite opened in April 2025 on the edge of the center of Den Bosch. By its own claims, it is already the nicest city campsite in the Netherlands. Right in the middle of the city, but at the same time surrounded by tranquility.
City camping Overboord was not a sprint but a marathon – but hey, they are there. And this summer we can finally hang out at Overboord: a city beach where you can chill and camp in Den Bosch.
It was all a dream. In 2021, a group of friends were at a traditional campsite. With traditional chalets. And a traditional snack bar. The ideas came up around the campfire: why not a creative, vibrant, hip(er) city campsite? When they came across a spot on the water in the middle of Den Bosch, they were there in a flash. This was where it had to happen. And yes, a few years and quite a few plans later, the first camping season is about to start.
From the summer of 2025, the site will be full of campers: with their own tent, caravan or trailer tent - or in one of the tiny houses en campervans that are already ready for you. Of course with sanitary facilities within somersault distance. And then: oelala, that city beach. Drink in your hand, table full of tasty snacks and staring at the water.
In June/July they will also open the catering in the lock keeper's house, with a terrace on the beach. And for the bad days? There is the greenhouse. Everything has been thought of.
Come on, Stadscamping Overboord. We are ready.
