    They calmly considered whether all my wishes could be fulfilled. No one is in a hurry there. Everything moves at a slower pace. It’s wonderful to spend a few days there. To slow down.

    A wonderful campground with a forest and a swimming spot nearby. Even though there were just the two of us (and the dog), I would definitely recommend it to families with children. We had a great time.

    Martijn, Naduah, Marjolein, Serina, Loïs, and all the other staff—you made our vacation wonderful and memorable. The girls enjoyed the horseback riding lessons, the trail rides, and helping to saddle up and get everything ready for the next lesson every single day.
    We stayed in a stuga, and it was exactly as described—no exaggeration at all—it was really nice.

    The staff was always happy to chat. The bathrooms were always clean! Animal welfare is a top priority at this farm, and you can really tell. All the horses, pigs, cows, alpacas, kittens, etc., look happy. You can watch the kids’ self-confidence grow right before your eyes. Simply a top-notch campground!

    We’ll be back soon. We’ll see if it works out this year, but definitely next year—WHOOP WHOOP!

    Best regards,
    The Aalbers Family

    Martijn, Naduah, Marjolein, Serina, Loïs en al het andere personeel, jullie hebben ons een mooi en waardevolle vakantie laten beleven. De meiden hebben elke dag genoten van de paardenlessen, de buitenritten en het helpen bij het opzadelen en klaarzetten voor een volgende les.
    Wij sliepen in een stuga en deze was zoals omschreven, niks aan gelogen, heel fijn.

    Personeel wilde altijd wel een praatje maken. Sanitair was altijd schoon! Dieren welzijn staat bij deze boerderij centraal en dat merk je ook echt. Alle paarden, varkentjes, koeien, alpacas, katjes, enz zien er gelukkig uit. Kinderen hun zelfvertrouwen groeit waar je bij staat. Gewoon een top camping!

    Wij komen snel weer terug. Even kijken of het dit jaar nog wordt, maar zeker volgend jaar WHOOP WHOOP!

    Groetjes,
    Familie Aalbers
