Culture Campsite: Quirky Micro Shelters in Rotterdam, Netherlands

Quirky Micro Shelters in this Rotterdam Campsite

Des Res is a beautiful and colorful little building that can be enjoyed from the inside or outside. It’s like a shining rainbow!

The colors of the building are illuminated by the sun during the day, and at night the interior lights can give it a beautiful glow.

There are 11 other interesting object conversions to consider camping in while in Rotterdam. What’s your favorite one? Next is the High Rise.

It is considered the lowest tower in Rotterdam and was inspired by the Rotterdam harbor. It features a rooftop area where you can oversee the campsite.

This one-of-a-kind structure is made from an old mast section of a tower crane, and its translucent facade is made from reused materials.

Inside, it can accommodate up to four guests with two queen-size bunk beds accessorized with recycled ropes and nets.

Next is the Lemon Loft, a high-legged tiny yellow cabin that resembles some sort of DIY space capsule.

The interior is beautifully finished with wood, making it a cozy and unique space to stay in.

The large window at the top of this yellow cabin offers a panoramic view over the campsite.

This vintage electric van has been turned into a stationary micro cabin campsite in Rotterdam with its own entrance and private outdoor area.

The van was originally built as an electric steel agricultural wagon. In the 50s, it was used as a delivery van, and in the 70s it was a mobile shop vehicle. Who else knew there were EVs then?

Today, it’s a really fun campsite for 1-2 people!

The Trash Inn at Culture Campsite is a garbage container turned shelter.

The interior is outfitted with window coverings, shelving, and a double bed.

The outdoor area features an awning and seating.

This is Sweet Potato, a vintage electric delivery van turned into a micro shelter at a campsite in Rotterdam.

It is also known as Spijkstaal, which is a derivative of the Dutch village Spijkernisse where a blacksmith initially built electric steel agricultural wagons.

In the 50s they were used as delivery vans and in the 70s they were used as mobile street shops.

This is Little Pea, it’s a tiny house built using a combination of recycled animal silos.

Different parts of the silos were formed together to fit in the back of a pick-up truck for use as a mobile tiny house.

The Little Pea features a king-size bed. What do you think?

Sleeping Pod is a shelter made from upcycled calf igloos.

Raised on a steel frame, it offers views of the rest of the campsite.

The Sleepwalker tent cabin. It’s a two-person cabin designed for sleeping. It has a wooden floor, cupboards, and a canvas covering to give you that tent feeling.

The tiny cabin has two doors that open completely and a wide window in the back that pretty much acts as your headboard.

Val Ross, the recycled animal silo spaceship shelter.

It houses a comfortable double bed inside.

On their website, it is described as “the architectural sleeping phenomenon”.
