De Kamperhoek became the first nature development project in the Netherlands. After reclamation, this spot had served as a sand depot, of which nothing more than a wet spot remained. A pond was dug and the swamp was provided with a quay. A pump has maintained the water level ever since. Many migratory birds and migratory songbirds use the island and the reed marsh as a resting and roosting place. So does the reed marsh on the west side and the moist to wet forest to the east of the lake. There is an island with a bank swallow wall in the plaza.
