Scoutinglandgoed Zeewolde tries to be as sustainable as possible. This means that we do not offer facilities such as those offered at a commercial holiday park or campsite. In this way, our Scouts learn that you can also have a great time (Adventure in Nature) with us in a simple way, with limited resources, and with less luxury. If there is a medical necessity (for example sleep apnea or keeping baby food cool) for electricity, we offer this to a very limited extent.
To ensure that the connections (6 Ampère) are realised on time, it is important that the following information is known to us at least 14 days before your arrival.
On the following fields (or parts thereof) it is possible to install electricity within a circle of 25 to a maximum of 50 metres. Please note that in order to prevent fire hazards and, more importantly, to prevent loss of power, we set requirements for the reel/extension cable that you will use.
The fields where limited power is possible are:
Heerenkoog 2 | Berlisi 1 | Adhingerdorp | Espelo | Tollebeek | De Knar | Hofstede | Zomp 1 | Bol | Togenaer | Wilde eend 3 & 4 |
Useful to think about in advance
- All requests are assessed by our technicians (volunteers) based on the total availability of electricity on the entire site. This may mean that we cannot (fully) realize all requests.
- Our volunteers will in all cases install and connect the electricity; if it concerns special requests, an hourly rate will be charged by our volunteers for support with the connection, in addition to the material and consumption costs.
- Requests must be known to us at least 14 days prior to the day of arrival.
- If you cancel the electricity request, the regular cancellation costs apply as stated on the website.
- Safety requirements: the cable/cord must have a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm2 and may not be longer than 50 meters. Connecting multiple cables/cords is not permitted.
- If available, we supply 240 volts with a maximum capacity of 6 amps.
- If you have not brought the correct reel/extension cable, we will refuse you an electricity connection.
When constructing our site, major activities by and for the members of Scouting Nederland were also taken into account. For example, every 2 years an activity is organized for all Dutch volunteers on our site (Scout-In), every 4 years the Nawaka (National water camp) for water scouting groups and every four years the National Jamboree for land and air scouts.
We also offer space for larger activities that suit our site and complement our mission, offering a place where children can play outside and discover the nature around them.
The large activity fields Kievit, Grutto, Scholekster, Graspieper, Kleine plevier and Knobbelzwaan have a semi-paved area for sanitary units, containers, heavy equipment, etc. In addition, all connections required for water, electricity and fiber optic cables are located underneath these fields. .
We have a maximum of 25 KVA on the entire site and it is possible to install environmentally friendly generators. These can be fully linked to our infrastructure. The following connections are available at various activity fields:
1 x 32 Ampere, 400V
3 x 16 Ampere, 240 V
Optical fiber
Sewer pit and drain
Greywater water connection
Water connection for drinking water
The availability of the above specification is dependent on other activities on site.
Connecting the desired facilities is done in close consultation with our technical people.

East of Creupelsandt near Urk is a sandbank with the striking name 'Hofste' or 'Hofstede'. The legend tells that 'the old Casteel Cruptorix, said van der Hoeve, now called the plate Kreupel, drowned under the waves of the Zuyder-Zee.'
HOFSTEDE 1-2

KNAR 1-2
max 30/10 personen
When the Zuiderzee still existed, the Knar was a household name. For fishermen this meant a place rich in fish; skippers of cargo ships knew: it is not safe to sail here, because it is extremely shallow. The Knar was already known before the Zuiderzee came into existence. At that time it served as a safe height in the swamp that covered Flevoland in the distant past. Found habitation remains testify to this. The current Knarbos is partly located on the former Knar sandbank.
ROBBEZAND
max 10 personen
Near the old island of Wieringen in the Zuiderzee was the seal plate, from the period when seals and porpoises could still be found in the Wadden and Zuiderzee.
SPAENDERBANK 1-2
max 15 personen
Spaenderbank was a sandbank in the former Zuiderzee.
TRINTEL
max 25 personen
Trintel was a sandbank in the Zuiderzee between Enkhuizen and Lelystad. Natuurmonumenten now wants to create new nature in the area, with one of the sub-projects being called Trintelzand.
Zelhorst is not rented out as a camping field, but is generally available as a playing field. During the season the stretch tent is often also located here.
Zelhorst is a village that was planned near Harderhaven but was never built. There used to be a Saxon castle (Selhorst) near Harderwijk, next to which was a settlement of Herderewich, which grew into the city of Harderwijk.
ADINGHERDORP 1-2
max 25 personen
Adingherdorp was a village in North Holland on the Zuiderzee.
BANTE 1-2
max 25 personen
Bante was a place in the area where the IJsselmeer is now located. The place, like other places on the former island of Flevo, has now disappeared. It was probably near Lemmer and existed at least until 900 AD. It is not known when it disappeared.
BERILSI 1-2
max 20 personen
Berilsi was a village near Schokland.
BEULAKE
max 20 personen
Beulake or Beulaeke was a village that existed from about 1360 to 1776 in the head of Overijssel, approximately northeast of Sint Jansklooster and northwest of Ronduite. The village was drowned, in what is now called the Beulakerwijde, by storm surges in 1775 and 1776.
ESPELO 1-2
max 25 personen
Espel is named after Espelo (also written as Espel or Espelbergh), which used to be located north of Urk. According to a book from 1317, Urk was 'in parochia dicta Espelo' at the time. The suffix -lo is usually interpreted as 'forest', but can also indicate low undergrowth or even a watercourse (and relatedly: a swampy area). These meanings are not even improbable here, because the aspen (from which espe- is derived) is a tree species that thrives on wet soil. This area was later swallowed up by the Zuiderzee.
GOUWSEN
max 15 personen
Gouwsen is a disappeared village that was located just north of Aartswoud, in what later became the Wieringermeerpolder. The village is also called Gawijzend, Gouwsend, Oude Gawijzende and Gonsende. Due to rising sea levels, more and more land had to be given up to the Zuiderzee. The old dike north of Gouwsen collapsed during the Sint-Clemens flood of 1334. The village, like nearby Heerenkoog and Almersdorp, was abandoned and disappeared completely under the water around 1350.
HEERENKOOG 1-2
max 12 personen

Due to rising sea levels, more and more land had to be given up to the Zuiderzee. The old dike north of Heerenkoog failed during the Sint-Clemens flood of 1334.

NAKALA
max 25 personen
Nakala is another name for Nagele. Nagele was an island located between Urk and Schokland and was first mentioned in 1138. Before that, a body of water called Nagel already existed north of Urk. Nagele already appears in a charter issued by the German Emperor Otto I in the year 966. The Roman writer Tacitus wrote about this village as Nabalia in his book Histories. In the Middle Ages, the village of Nagele disappeared into the waves.
OOSTEND
max 20 personen
Oostend was a parish of Enkhuizen.
TOLLEBEEK 1-2
max 25 personen
After the polder dried up in 1942, the village of Tollebeek was founded in 1957, as the last village in the Noordoostpolder. The name Tollebeek refers to an old estate of the Lords of Kuinre; "In 1364, Tollebeke was an estate next to the river Nagel, which belonged to the Lords of Kuinre..." This is the reason that all street names in Tollebeek refer to hunting. Tollebeek was designed by Dr. Ir. Nix, an architect from Rotterdam. The village is therefore also called the village of Nix (nothing). The village front faces the Urkervaart. Nix describes the village as "a lined settlement with green rooms".
WIBERNESSATE
max 25 personen
A charter from 1165 shows that the bishop allocated wasteland to colonists who had to pay a 'tins', a kind of land tax, for this. The names 'Rutheriksdole' and 'Wibernessate' appear in the document. Wibernessate may have been the village of Wiberburen north of Kuinre. This village disappeared due to floods in later centuries.
WILDE EEND 1, 2, 3, 4
max 15 personen
Wilde Eend (wild duck) actually falls under the event fields, but is sometimes used as an extra camping field when it is very busy.
