Camping ‘t Weergors is a family business with more than 60 years of history. It is run by brother and sister Arda and Rob Riedijk, together with their parents Frans and Dickie Riedijk. They took over from Frans' parents, Leen and Nel Riedijk, who laid the foundation for the campsite in 1964. Originally, Leen and Nel started on a small field next to their dairy farm, welcoming campers from Rotterdam.

Developments around the Delta Works, the growth of Hellevoetsluis and the emerging demand for recreation made them decide in 1964 to leave most of the farm behind and make the switch to recreation. Over the years, the farm grew to about 16 hectares.

What does 't Weergors mean?

The name ‘t Weergors is closely linked to the rich history of Hellevoetsluis. As early as the late 15th century, the polders ‘Het Grote Weergors’ and ‘Het Kleine Weergors’ were located on either side of the area that would later become the fortified town of Hellevoetsluis. Today, 'Het Grote Weergors' is known as 'Quackgors'. A ‘gors’ refers to land that floods at high tide and becomes dry again at low tide.

With the completion of the Haringvliet Dam in 1971, the tide came to an end and the water in the Haringvliet became freshwater. In 2019, however, the sluices were partially reopened, allowing tide and salt water to find their way again and improve water quality.

More about the campsite

'Peace and Quiet are my Pleasure'

The farmhouse that houses restaurant ‘t Karrewiel was built in 1869 in its current form. There was a farm on this site as early as the 16th century. Remnants of it were found during excavation work. The restaurant area used to be where fodder was stored. In the winter period the cows stood in the section where the café is located now. The kitchen was the horse stable. The farm ‘Peace and Quiet are my Pleasure’ is being held by the same family since 1917.

Green business

We think it is important to do our bit to achieve a sustainable world. We do this, among other things, by generating our own energy through 400 solar panels. We also store part of this energy. In addition, all buildings and grounds are illuminated by LED lamps, and all taps, toilets and showers in the sanitary facilities and rental accommodation are water-saving. Our green management and terrain landscaping is mainly done with indigenous planting. The fishpond that we created in the 1980s is now a fully-fledged nature area appreciated by deer and spoonbills, and the wildflower meadow is an oasis for insects.
