Om ikke Heumensoord er verden største campingplass under Nijmegenmarsjen så er det ikke mye å gjøre. Dette er leiren der de militære deltagerne bor, og i år (1981) var det over 5.000 som bdde der ute. Vanligvis er dette et stille og fredelig parkområde, men mellom den 20. og 25. juli var dette en mellomting mellom en gigantisk campingplass og et sirkusområde.

Camp Heumensoord - General Information
Camp Heumensoord was first set up in 1962. Until that time, the military personnel taking part in the marches had been housed in various scattered locations. Some had been housed at the Prins Hendrik Barracks in Nijmegen, and others at various civilian and military locations. Housing and caring for the approximately 5,000 military personnel centrally offers many advantages. It does, however, require a huge organisation. The Central Support Command for Military Personnel (DVM) was created specifically to deal with the issues of accommodating (housing and meals) the national and international military participants.
