Campsite St. Walrick (scouting)

In the middle of the beautiful nature reserve the Hatertse and Overasseltse Vennen, you will find 26 camping fields. These are suitable for groups ranging in size from a few to more than 100 people. The fields have a different character: in the forest, grassland, centrally located or far from the road.

All our fields have a fireplace for campfire and primitive cooking. There is a special field for scouting families. Sufficient pioneer wood is available for campers. If you come camping there is camp staff present. You are welcome in our cozy reception room with ScoutShop.

Scouting campground St. Walrick has a super fun camp staff team. As always with Scouting, these are all volunteers. The camp staff stays in the Hut and can therefore usually be found there.

We wish you a lot of camping fun on our beautiful terrain.

The name is named after the ruins of the St. Walrick Chapel. This is a national monument located in the Overasseltse Vennen in the Dutch municipality of Heumen.

The chapel was built in the 15th century and was used by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme who had a priory in the area. It was a late Gothic rectangular chapel. From the 17th century onwards, part of the east wall with round-arched windows and part of the long walls remained as ruins. The chapel was dedicated to Saint Walricus who was considered a patron of the sick, and specifically fever sufferers.
