Basecamp Ijmuiden is part of Basecamp Eco-resorts, a global network of eco-resorts in unique locations surrounded by nature, where sustainability and self-sufficiency are central.
Basecamp Ijmuiden has been around since 2019 and is Basecamp’s first opened resort. The small-scale park consists of 33 unique Tiny Houses where you can spend the night as a guest, and a number of Tiny Offices and event spaces that can be booked for meetings and corporate events.
What we stand for.
We leave a tiny footprint
We like to live more sustainable and be connected to nature. That’s why we choose locations in nature and try to reduce our footprint by using organic and recycled materials, generating our own electricity, and reusing water. We grow our own food and help restore damaged ecosystems. We love to learn and share this knowledge, and we inspire our guests to do the same.
Home for the free-spirited
Our resorts sparkle with creativity and playfulness. It has the vibrant energy of a festival and the look is unlike any other resort. There are no straight lines and no house is the same. We love architecture, design, handmade items from upcycled materials and the work of artists scattered throughout the Basecamp grounds. It is a playground for innovation, an ever-changing landscape, blooming with plants, people and adventures. We create places where people leave with new ideas and new energy.
Come as a guest, leave as a friend
Basecamp is a business from the heart, a co-creation of friends, former guests, homeowners, business partners and entrepreneurs. It is the “Basecamp magic” that makes you come as a guest and leave as a friend. You meet passionate people who welcome you in a personal, warm and open way. You feel seen, connected and part of our tribe. Wherever you are in the world, Basecamp is your home.
Our mission
Developing a global network of Basecamp Remote Work Hubs and Tiny House Eco Retreats, suitable for digital nomads and environmentally conscious tourists.
Our vision
By opening several Basecamp locations, we will offer an international ‘residential subscription’ with which Digital Nomads can stay sustainably throughout the year in various Tiny Houses, in several countries. The best of travel, living and working, in a housing subscription for one monthly fee.
Disruption
Basecamp is a breeding ground for disruptive ideas. Basecamp can also be used by start-ups to work on their business without interruptions (except for the sounds of the ocean). External parties are invited to organize boot camps and workshops that improve the skills of ‘digital nomads’.
The ultimate goal of Basecamp is that we build communities that are regenerative, remountable and ultimately no longer need infrastructure through the development of sustainability applications. The target group of Basecamp; digital nomads, young professionals and corporate companies, can subscribe to Basecamp to live, work and recreate at many A++ locations in the world.
Ecologically responsible
In recent months, the number of Tiny Houses has expanded and the latest models from, among others, ‘EcoCabins’, ‘Mill Home’ and ‘Compact Housing’ have been fully furnished in a sustainable way by well-known interior designers such as ‘Urban Nature Culture Amsterdam’ and ‘Dille & Kamille’. In addition to recreational rental, Basecamp is also a showcase location for environmentally conscious brands that want to test and present their latest products.
Offgrid and self-sufficient
At Basecamp, the sustainability transition is in full swing. Immediately past the entrance we see the 144 solar panels and a green battery and ‘SmartGrid’ (part of Koolen Industries). They ensure that Basecamp runs virtually “off grid”. There are also plenty of experiments with food production. The greenhouse made of recycled horticultural glass contains forgotten vegetables and rare crops. To taste soon. Read here more about Basecamp’s sustainability plans.
A meeting place
The site has been completely transformed in two years. From the car park to a ‘living lab’ for sustainability and circularity. Everything has a story. Basecamp is a unique meeting place where everyone is welcome. Our spacious terrace and an elevated platform with a beautiful view offer plenty of room for an (honest) drink from the Tiny Bar.
Various events are organized on the terrain, with sustainability as a starting point. If you want to organize something yourself, then Basecamp is the perfect place. In the ‘Refter’ (the big red barn) and
‘Tiny Offices meetings‘, workshops and much more can take place.
International expansion
The ambition is to develop approximately 20 Basecamp eco-resorts in the coming years at prime locations on the beach or forest and near cities. A new resort is currently being developed close to the city of Amsterdam at the ‘Tuinen van West’ and the first location outside the Netherlands is being realized in Tanzania.
To make our international dream come true, Basecamp works with investors who believe in our sustainable mission. As an investor you will become the owner of one of the unique Tiny Houses and, in addition to your own use, you benefit from a monthly income.
