5 reasons to go to FarmCamps

Staying with the whole family in a glamping tent on a real farm? You can! No iPad and TV for a while, but staying among the chickens, frolicking in the haystack and cuddling with the cows. FarmCamps is the alternative to a large-scale bungalow park. Immerse yourself in real Dutch farm life and enjoy the beautiful Dutch countryside. The main reasons why you should book a vacation at FarmCamps? We tell you!

1. Stay with a real farmer

Milking cows, a ride on the tractor, fun chores in the fields. Staying on a farm is educational and fun at the same time. After this vacation, your farmer's mind will be completely refreshed and shearing sheep and feeding and cuddling chickens will be a breeze for you. Or, as we at FarmCamps say: a piece of cake. 😉

2. Fine weather guarantee

We all know it: the Dutch weather, there's no telling what might happen. Does your vacation threaten to fall into the water and your vacation feeling will be blown away. No problem! Make use of our Fine Weather Guarantee and rebook your vacation for free. Read here how this works.

3. 100% kid proof

FarmCamps is 100% kidproof. The yard is well protected and safe. And each location is set up in such a way that the children can be watched closely, overlooking the playground from the porch of your tent, how easy is that. So you won't lose your kids easily; even the very fastest ones!

4. Luxury & comfort

You choose to vacation with your feet in the clay, but of course you also want to be pampered a bit. We understand that very well. That is why all our tents are luxurious and extremely comfortable. Lovely beds (or how about a hammock?), a private toilet in the tent or even a tent with its own bathroom. In all tents you will find a luxury espresso machine for a delicious cup of coffee. And the breakfast? That will be made for you. At FarmCamps, every day is Sunday.

5. For the whole family

On the farm there are plenty of activities to do together: milking cows, taking care of ponies, cuddling with the kittens and rabbits. But, you too can escape from busy life for a while, the kids will entertain themselves. How about bbq'ing, fishing, cycling or finally finishing that book? Are you taking on too much at home? Then we have good news for you: on the farms, we use hay for a nice afternoon nap.😉 So a farm vacation can't hurt busy parents at all, either...

Never go home again!

Are you ready for the best family vacation in the Netherlands? Book your vacation now. At your own risk though. Chances are you'll never want to leave. But well, we'll see about that.

What a search for camembert has to do with your FarmCamps holiday

Sometimes a good idea starts on holiday. That’s how Olga from Farms Around found herself in France with her family, searching for camembert: not from the supermarket, but straight from a farmer or small local producer. Cheese that is not only delicious, but also tells you something about the place you are visiting. The only problem? It turned out to be surprisingly difficult. Where do you find a farm shop like that, what exactly do they sell and can you just drop by?
