Basecamp
Basecamp is a Tiny House Workhub, Eco-Retreat and Living Lab. A place where digital nomads live and work temporarily. Furthermore the Tiny Houses are extremely suitable as a holiday home, meeting room or temporarily homebase.
Next to all of this, Basecamp is a showroom for Tiny House Living & Working. The Tiny Houses are manufactured by several builders. By displaying a variety of Tiny Houses, Basecamp offers the ability to see different variations of Tiny Living. This way you can even choose a different experience everytime you return.
Basecamp as living lab. Basecamp experiments with sustainable ways of working and living. Successes will be impletented in housing projects and new Basecamps around the world.
Where nature, sea and industry come together between the marina, the beach and the Kennemermeer in the dunes, you’ll find Basecamp.

It is more than just a small living space. It is a lifestyle with a clear phylosopy. Small and cleverly decorated houses of maximum 50-60 m2 with a small ecological footprint.
Currently Basecamp is only located in IJmuiden, the Netherlands, but keep an eye on the website of Basecamp Ecoresorts because it will not be long before new locations are announced.
