Fun Family Farm Holidays

Camping on a farm is a unique experience for the whole family – a special holiday to remember for years to come. Whether you choose a week, a midweek, or just a weekend away, it's all possible!

Wake up to the sound of a crowing rooster and mooing cows. After a leisurely breakfast in your charming glamping tent, immerse yourself in farm life all day long. From feeding and caring for the animals to helping with tasks in the fields and playing in the hay barn, there's plenty to do. Most evenings end around the campfire with the entire family.

Farm life requires hard work – you’ll understand that soon enough! The farmer will certainly need your help with tasks like mucking out the stables and feeding the animals. But don’t worry – there’s so much more to do on the farm. We’ve rounded up the best activities for you to enjoy. And of course, there’s also barbecuing, cheese fondue nights, building treehouses, riding bikes on the dirt track, playing in the hayloft, swinging, go-karting, and football!

1 – Earn Your Farmhand Diploma

Let’s start with an activity available at all our farms: earning your farmhand diploma. When you check in, kids receive a Farmers Passport from FarmCamps. It contains fun and educational tasks and activities they can do independently or with the farmer. For every task they complete, they earn a stamp from the farmer. Once all tasks are completed, they’ll receive the official farmhand diploma!

2 – Walk with Alpacas

At FarmCamps Alpaca Vorstenbosch, you can take a scenic walk with the whole family – and an alpaca! During the walk, Farmer Willem-Mathijs will share fascinating facts about alpaca behaviour, helping you get to know their personalities. At FarmCamps De Bosrand, the alpacas also enjoy strolling through the beautiful woods around the farm, nibbling on leaves along the way.

3 – Cow Cuddling

At FarmCamps Den Branderhorst, you can experience the relaxing joy of cow cuddling. Join Farmer Eddy for a workshop and learn all about cows. Afterwards, you’ll head into the barn or pasture, where the cows love to be cuddled.

4 – Walk with Ponies

Calling all pony lovers! At these farms, you can take a scenic route with your parents while riding a pony:

5 – Play Farmer's Golf

A family holiday wouldn’t be complete without a game of Farmer's Golf – a fun and sporty activity for all ages. At FarmCamps Hoeve Sonneclaer, you can play this entertaining game right in the meadow among the cows.

6 – Canoeing

Love active holidays? Some farms offer family canoeing days!

At FarmCamps Fleur Stables , you can use the canoe and rowboat for free in the canal near the farm or rent a sturdy motorboat.

At FarmCamps De Geele Bosch , you can rent canoes for exploring the beautiful surroundings from the Tjonger River.

At FarmCamps Stolkse Weide , you can use the farm's canoes to paddle through the nearby ditches and polders.
