    We spent 2.5 weeks here with our 5-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son and had a truly fantastic vacation.

    We stayed in a FarmCamps tent with a private toilet, kitchen, shower, bathtub, and air conditioning. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the accommodations. The tent is spacious, the furniture is good quality and sturdy, and there’s plenty of room around the tent as well. To me, everything looked pretty new, but I think that’s mainly because everything is just very well maintained. The campground itself is also completely car-free, which is incredibly nice with young children.

    The campground is very small-scale, with only about ten tents, and we actually found that to be a big plus. There’s actually a surprising amount to do. There are tons of go-karts in all sorts of sizes, from push cars and small tractors to ones that even mom and dad can ride. There’s also a fun sandbox with toys and a hayloft where the kids can climb, swing, and play.

    Since there are many families with young children, new friends were constantly being made. It’s precisely because of the small scale that such a pleasant atmosphere develops. People keep an eye on each other and each other’s children, without being intrusive. This made it feel cozy, friendly, and safe. The only downside to staying for 2.5 weeks while many other families stay for just one week is that our daughter had to say goodbye to her new friends several times.

    The owners and staff are also truly wonderful. The farm owner is often around and takes care of everything, while her son also handles all sorts of practical matters behind the scenes, such as delivering and picking up linens. If there’s anything you need, just let them know and they’ll take care of it.

    There’s also a small, convenient store. It’s not meant for your weekly grocery shopping, but it’s very handy for anything you’d rather not drive to the supermarket for again. Think coffee, tea, ice cream, pancake mix, syrup, powdered sugar, barbecue charcoal, firewood, and chilled cans of soda. Plus, there was pizza night twice a week. You can order pizza, which they make themselves and then deliver right to your tent. Ideal.

    Another thing I was personally very happy about: virtually no mosquitoes. There are some flies and the occasional biting fly, but even that wasn’t as bad as we expected. Every tent also has an electric fly swatter.

    I’m usually pretty critical and can usually think of something that could be improved, but not here. It’s just perfectly organized. And if there is something wrong, the atmosphere is such that you can just point it out and they’ll take care of it.

    We would definitely come back here again.

    Wij zijn hier 2,5 week geweest met onze dochter van 5 en zoon van 1 en hebben echt een fantastische vakantie gehad.

    We verbleven in een FarmCamps tent met eigen wc, keuken, douche, bad en airco. Vooral over de kwaliteit van de accommodatie waren we erg te spreken. De tent is ruim, de meubels zijn goed en degelijk en ook rondom de tent heb je lekker veel ruimte. Voor mijn gevoel zag alles er behoorlijk nieuw uit, maar volgens mij komt dat vooral doordat alles gewoon heel goed wordt onderhouden. Het kampeergedeelte zelf is bovendien volledig autovrij, wat met jonge kinderen ontzettend prettig is.

    De camping is heel kleinschalig, met maar ongeveer tien tenten, en dat vonden wij juist een groot pluspunt. Er is namelijk verrassend veel te doen. Er zijn ontzettend veel skelters in allerlei maten, van loopauto's en kleine tractoren tot exemplaren waar zelfs papa en mama op kunnen. Daarnaast is er onder andere een leuke zandbak met speelgoed en een hooischuur waar de kinderen kunnen klimmen, slingeren en spelen.

    Omdat er veel gezinnen met jonge kinderen zijn, werden er voortdurend nieuwe vriendjes en vriendinnetjes gemaakt. Juist door de kleinschaligheid ontstaat er een heel fijne sfeer. Mensen letten een beetje op elkaar en op elkaars kinderen, zonder dat het bemoeizuchtig wordt. Het voelde daardoor gezellig, vriendelijk en veilig. Het enige nadeel van 2,5 week blijven terwijl veel andere gezinnen een week blijven, is dat onze dochter meerdere keren afscheid moest nemen van nieuwe vriendjes en vriendinnetjes.

    Ook de eigenaren en medewerkers zijn echt top. De boerin is veel aanwezig en regelt van alles, terwijl haar zoon ook achter de schermen allerlei praktische zaken oppakt, zoals het brengen en ophalen van beddengoed. Als er iets is, kun je het gewoon aangeven en wordt het geregeld.

    Er is ook een klein praktisch winkeltje. Niet bedoeld om je wekelijkse boodschappen te doen, maar juist heel handig voor alles waarvoor je liever niet opnieuw naar de supermarkt rijdt. Denk aan koffie, thee, ijsjes, pannenkoekenbeslag, stroop, poedersuiker, barbecuekolen, stookhout en gekoelde blikjes fris. Twee keer per week was er bovendien pizzaavond. Je kunt dan pizza bestellen, die ze zelf maken en vervolgens bij je tent bezorgen. Ideaal.

    Nog iets waar ik persoonlijk erg blij mee was: vrijwel geen muggen. Er zijn wel wat vliegen en af en toe een steekvlieg, maar ook dat vonden wij erg meevallen. Iedere tent heeft bovendien een elektrische vliegenmepper.

    Ik ben normaal gesproken behoorlijk kritisch en kan meestal wel iets bedenken wat beter zou kunnen, maar hier eigenlijk niet. Het is gewoon pico bello voor elkaar. En mocht er toch iets zijn, dan is de sfeer ook zodanig dat je het gewoon kunt aangeven en er iets mee wordt gedaan.

    Wij zouden hier zonder twijfel nog een keer terugkomen.

    Yes top this, if in doubt and you read this, now you know, book! Very nice atmosphere, nice people, super hospitable and beautiful surroundings really highly recommended! There are lots of fun things organized for the kids and the campsite/farm also has lots of entertainment for them. Our boys (7 and 5) had a great time all week.
