Good news: you can now book your FarmCamps holiday for 2026. From Thursday 2 April or Friday 3 April, our farms will once again open their barn doors for a season full of outdoor fun, cuddly animals, and campfire vibes. The season runs until Monday 26 October 2026 – plenty of time to enjoy life on the farm.
And the best part? You can already secure your spot with just a 10% deposit. Here's what’s new for 2026.
Let’s get the tough bit out of the way: prices will increase significantly in 2026. Not because we want them to – far from it. But due to a Dutch tax plan, VAT will rise from 9% to 21%. This affects not just your tent stay, but also many of the fun extras our farmers offer.
We’re not fans of this change either. In fact, both ABN AMRO and HISWA-RECRON have spoken out against it.
The increase takes effect on 1 January 2026, so we’ve had to adjust our prices. But if the law gets reversed, we’ll refund the VAT difference. That’s our promise.
Bonus tip: Our German location, Soodehof Eins, is not affected by this Dutch VAT increase – making it an extra affordable option for 2026.
Back in 2025, we tested Thursday arrivals on selected weekends – and you loved it. So we’re keeping it going in 2026. On selected dates, you can check in on Thursday and kickstart your weekend on the farm just a little earlier.
Check out the options on our holiday overview page.
Until now, if you were staying during school holidays, you had to check out on Monday. But from 2026, you can choose to check out on Sunday at 5 PM – perfect if you need to be back at work on Monday but still want to make the most of your weekend.
We’ve had different check-in times for different days – and yes, we know it got a bit confusing. That’s why from 2026, check-in is always at 4 PM on Thursday, Friday, and Monday.
Fancy an earlier start? On some farms, you can book an early check-in from 12 PM (for an additional fee).
Celebrating something? Or planning a fun getaway with family or friends? At FarmCamps, groups are more than welcome. Many of our farms offer group accommodations or several tents close together. So you can enjoy the farm life together, while still sleeping in your own cosy tent.
Planning your trip? These are the Dutch public and school holidays in 2026:
We can’t wait to welcome you to our farms in 2026. Be quick – the most popular tents are gone in no time. And remember: at FarmCamps, you only pay a 10% deposit when booking. Nice and easy.
