reinsehlen camp () is a largely treeless area of around 100 hectares (250 acres) close to the village of reinsehlen near the town of schneverdingen in lower saxony, germany. it is known for its calcareous grassland and most of the area is now a nature reserve. in the past, the area served as a military airfield, a displaced persons camp and a military training area. from 1950 to 1994 the canadian and british armed forces used the area as base camp for extensive tank exercises in the lüneburg heath — thus the name "camp".
