Summary created out of 136 reviews
This small-scale farm campsite is praised by guests for its friendly and helpful owners who provide a personal and warm welcome. The location in the middle of the polder landscape offers wide views over meadows with cows and sheep, and is valued as an ideal base for cycling and walking trips to the nearby Zaanse Schans. Guests appreciate the peace and nature-rich environment with plenty of meadow birds and animals. The sanitary facilities are clean but dated, and there are mixed opinions about the level of maintenance of both the sanitary facilities and the site itself.

An abysmal experience. Yes, it's a working farm however there is no excuse for it being shabby and run down. Everything was grotty, old and nasty. We were cycling and need simple grass pitch with no electricity. The grass was so long and wet it made it miserable. The showers and toilets were clean but grotty (old manky shower curtains and the mop … left more dirt behind than it cleared). Picnic benches that were covered in lichen. Also, it was anything but peaceful as it is directly under the flight path into Schipol airport and the fields are full of noisy geese over night! Nothing to recommend this place at all sadly as the website looked so good.
