Unique Urban Camping: Stay in Recycled Grain Silos and Greenhouses in Rotterdam

Discover the Quirky Culture Campsite in the Netherlands

Forget yurts, tents, and huts. A quirky new campsite has opened in the Netherlands that offers guests the chance to stay in fantastical units, which include a former grain silo, a tiny greenhouse, an electric cart, and a small house made of floating bricks. Each unique accommodation has been designed with upcycled and sustainable materials, representing a stand-alone piece of art.

Located in historic Delfshaven, just ten minutes away from Rotterdam city center, Culture Campsite is a unique blend of a sustainable city campsite and an interactive exhibition. Each “bedroom” accommodates two to three people and has been created by various artists and designers. The site is elegantly laid out in a circular design, allowing guests to experience sleeping in unique rooms such as Val Ross, a former animal silo with a hatch, a bed, and a window; Honeycomb, a bee-inspired house on stilts; and Expedition North Cape, a tent-greenhouse hybrid inspired by the spirit of adventure.

The campsite is situated on a former parking lot, which has been beautifully transformed into a green space thanks to the innovative project. “It’s a unique experience that integrates visitors with art, architecture, and sustainability in the heart of Rotterdam. They are smaller than a tiny house, more exciting than a tent, and distinct from all traditional glamping accommodations,” shared a member of the Culture Campsite team.

Other extraordinary offerings include Sleeping Pod, a raised spaceship-like structure made from a former cattle shelter, and Floating Bricks, an optical illusion that cleverly combines recycled building materials with glass.

According to the team, social distancing is very much attainable at the campsite due to the spacious arrangement of the different accommodations, while the company maintains thorough sanitation between guests.
