On Wednesday afternoon, May 20, FarmCamps De Buitenhoeve will transform into a real Farmer Boris farm during the festive launch of the new picture book Camping with Farmer Boris. And honestly, there could hardly be a more fitting location for this cheerful book than a farm campsite surrounded by animals, nature and the great outdoors.
Camping with Farmer Boris is a lovely summer read aloud book about camping, sharing and finding creative solutions. Farmer Boris decides he doesn’t need to leave the farm to enjoy a holiday. He simply pitches a tent in the meadow. But when his sister Sam and then all the animals want to join in, the small idea quickly grows into a cosy farm campsite.
Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers aged 3 and up who love farms, holidays and outdoor adventures. Which is exactly what FarmCamps is all about. At FarmCamps, you stay on a real farm, help the farmer, cuddle the animals and enjoy unforgettable adventures outdoors together. Just like Farmer Boris, you don’t have to travel far for an unforgettable holiday.
Feeling inspired to go camping on a farm yourself? Book your stay at FarmCamps De Buitenhoeve or one of our other farms and discover how much fun a farm holiday can be.
During this special afternoon, the creators of the book will be there in person. Ted van Lieshout will read from the new story and Philip Hopman will create live drawings. The very first copy of Camping with Farmer Boris will also be presented during the event.
Afterwards, there will be plenty of time to buy the book and have it signed. Of course, children can also enjoy playing and exploring FarmCamps De Buitenhoeve afterwards.

At FarmCamps, it’s all about being outdoors, cuddling animals and enjoying time together. There’s always something to do on our farms: from milking cows to horse riding and roasting marshmallows by the campfire. Discover how much fun a farm stay can be and experience real farm life!
The World Cup has started, and even the farm is getting a little touch of orange. At several FarmCamps farms, guests can watch the Dutch national team’s matches, sometimes all games and sometimes only on specific days or when there is enough interest. It is the perfect way to combine farm fun with cheering for Oranje together.
There was something extra special to celebrate recently at FarmCamps Alpaca Vorstenbosch. Not just because the sun was shining and the alpacas were peacefully grazing in the meadow, but most of all because a little miracle was born: alpaca Rio. And how special is that? Rio came into the world on Mother’s Day. As an alpaca, you could hardly choose a more beautiful moment to become a mum.
FarmCamps has entered a new chapter. The Dutch market leader in farm based glamping has been acquired by siblings Bram and Alette Bastiaansen. Alette Bastiaansen will take on the day to day leadership of the company, while Bram Bastiaansen will be involved as an investor.
Together, they want to further grow FarmCamps by helping more farming families combine tourism with their existing agricultural business. The mission remains clear: giving families the chance to experience real farm life, while creating new opportunities for farmers.
Holidays are the perfect opportunity to leave your daily routine behind and spend lots of time outdoors. Many people still like to stay active during their vacation without needing to visit a gym. For inspiration on fun and accessible activities, active travellers often visit websites such as padelgids.nl. A good balance between relaxation and exercise helps you start your trip feeling fit and energised.
Camping with the family is a wonderful way to spend lots of time outdoors together. Children rarely get bored when you prepare a few varied activities for them in advance. Parents sometimes look for new sporty ideas on platforms such as pickleballgids.nl. A smart mix of active play and relaxing moments helps keep everyone happy throughout the holiday. This way, you create a vacation full of fun and new friendships.
Camping on a farm also gives children plenty of space to play freely outside, meet animals, and discover nature in a fun and playful way.
A sporty holiday close to home can be found surprisingly quickly just across the German border. This forested region attracts many Dutch hikers and cyclists every year who enjoy tackling the steep hills. For specific routes and hidden trails, travellers often look for advice on platforms such as suggestme.com. This makes it easy to plan the perfect route in advance for an unforgettable and active getaway.
Having your own home on wheels gives you the freedom to travel wherever and whenever you want. However, this dream also comes with important financial responsibilities. Many future camper owners visit websites such as tankstationprijzen.nl to gain insight into recurring vehicle costs. Creating a clear overview of expenses in advance helps you understand exactly what to expect each month. Good financial planning prevents unpleasant surprises later on.
