Please watch the video in English to get an first impression of De Oranjecamping and the preparations for FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa. 

The key to the success of De Oranjecamping can be found in the combination of an unique holiday experience and the support of the orange squad. The guests are staying at a camping venue that suits camping- and party needs. De Oranjecamping is for everybody who supports the Dutch national team, loves togetherness, a big party and going on a (affordable) holiday!

The start in Portugal
The numbers of visitors have grown rapidly during the years. In Portugal it started off as a small scale project offering room for 400 guests at Camping Municipal in Estoril. Oranjecamping founder Jokko de Wit had studied Tourism in Breda (The Netherlands) and came across the opportunity when he did an internship in Portugal, just before the European Cup was played. He organized a campsite and the hit the nail on the head. The 400 guests became a 800 enthusiastic fans and a new concept was born.





Oranjecamping concurs Europe
The second edition in Germany 2006 was a lot more professional. The camping was built up three times at three different venues where Holland was playing. In total 2700 orange guests were welcomed and 90 staff members ensured a smooth operation. The largest edition so far was during the EC in Switzerland. Over 5500 orange fans had the time of their lives at the base camp in Interlaken, near Bern. De Oranjecamping became the center of the fan activities and received global media attention for its unique formula and the positive atmosphere. Also due to the fact the everywhere De Oranjecamping settles in, the local community is quickly convinced of the fantastic positive vibe of the camping. They will become part of the festivities and are welcome to join the orange party.

Road to South Africa 2010
For the first time in the history of De Oranjecamping, a World Cup will be played on a different continent as Europe; the destination is South Africa. A big challenge, but De Oranjecamping has started the preparations for this special edition back in 2008. All host cities are visited to check venues and build relationships with local government and businesses. In South Africa a follow-you-team-concept will be rolled out. An orange train of vehicles will travel from host city to host city. Orange fans can travel by motor home, 4x4 terrain vehicle and overland trucks. Aim is to offer a safe and affordable package for supporters of the Dutch national team in combination with a great holiday experience through beautiful South Africa.
