There is a large parking lot directly adjacent to Basecamp IJmuiden. You enter the site by taking a ticket at the barrier. Then drive all the way to the back until you see a wooden sign with Basecamp on it on the left. At this sign, turn left for the nearest parking spaces.

Parking for one car is included in your booking. In order to enter the grounds upon arrival, you must take a parking ticket at the barrier. This ticket must then be registered by us to ensure that you can continue to drive in and out for free during your stay. You can go to the reception to register. Is the reception closed?

About my stay

Every Tiny House is unique!

All Tiny Houses are equipped with bed linen, and both a small and a large bath towel per guest.  

Basecamp welcomes all kitchen princes and princesses with open arms! Almost all Tiny Houses have a fully equipped kitchen, except for the ÖÖD Suites. These tiny houses can best be compared to a hotel room. 

How nice a joint dishwashing session, with bubbles flying around your ears, can be, some of the Tiny Houses have a dishwasher. Check in the description of the Tiny Houses if the specific house has one. 

No, none of our Tiny Houses have a TV. Who needs a TV when you are sitting between the dunes and next to the Kennemermeer? At Basecamp we have the nature channel. 

Yes, each Tiny House has its own WiFi router. 

The final cleaning is included in your stay. If you would like an interim cleaning, this can be arranged for € 25. Get in touch with our team.

Everything about the area

Basecamp IJmuiden is located within walking distance of the vast beach of IJmuiden and right next to a nature reserve. In addition to relaxing on the beach or a nice walk, there are also many fun activities, cities and culture nearby. Discover more here!

About the surroundings

There’s a convenience store on the boulevard, just a 2-minute walk away, perfect for thoseoops, I forgotmoments. For your grocery needs, the center of IJmuiden has several supermarkets and a little shopping street called “Lange Nieuwstraat.” Everything is easily accessible by bus or car. 

The beach is just a short walk away, so you’ll be feeling the sand between your toes within 5 minutes!

Pet-friendly stay

Don’t want to miss out on your furry friend? Make Basecamp the ultimate dog-friendly destination! For just €20 per stay, your four-legged friend can join you in one of our dog-friendly Tiny Houses in IJmuiden (19 out of 34 houses allow dogs!).

Once you have found your favorite Tiny House with dog, you will be redirected to the reservation page. Then simply add the “Pet Fee” under “enhance your stay”.

Please note: We love dogs, but cats, hamsters or other pets are not allowed.

Book a Tiny House with dog

There is only one dog per Tiny House allowed. Our Tiny Houses aren’t quite ready for a dog party! 

Yes, dogs are generally welcome on the beach of IJmuiden, but there are some rules during the high season. In certain zones, dogs are not allowed from 1 October to 1 April. In Zones 3 and 4, however, your dog can enjoy the beach all year round. Find an overview of the rules and zones on the page below.

Dog rules for IJmuiden beach

Unfortunately, we don’t provide dog beds. Your furry friend will need to bring their own cozy spot for lounging. 

Absolutely! You can book a pet-free Tiny House. Each one is clearly marked with a “dog” or “no dog” indication on our site.  

As a dog lover, it is hard to imagine, but not everyone is as fond of dogs as you are. We therefore ask you to take other guests into account and adhere to the following:

  • Always keep your dog on a leash at the resort
  • Do not leave your dog alone in your Tiny House
  • Bring a maximum of one dog per Tiny House
  • A dog surcharge of €20 per dog per stay applies
