About the camp
Starnmeer means quiet and green: more than eight hectares of larger and smaller grass fields where 80 spacious pitches lie sheltered between hedges, with birdsong everywhere and a chance of seeing a pheasant or a hare. There is a large sun lawn, a natural-history garden with benches, and a walk around the site with wide polder views. The wood-fired sauna is the heart of the terrain, fired all year by volunteer stokers, and the Sternnest day lodge hosts a Sunday coffee morning in season. Campers organise spontaneous meals and activities themselves. The pool is kept safe by seventeen volunteers. Young, old, alone or together, everyone is welcome.
