No headless chickens, just farm life: this is what a family holiday really feels like

Looking for a tasty and wholesome snack? During her stay at FarmCamps Hoeve Luyterheyde, Amanda from Healthiness Online created a mindful twist on classic gingerbread. 

Many families know the feeling all too well. A holiday that begins with stress before it even starts. Rushed mornings at the airport, crowds at busy holiday parks and constant stimuli telling you not to miss out on anything. The result is a holiday that costs more energy than it brings.

At FarmCamps things work very differently. No headless chickens, just farm life. And you can take that quite literally. You wake up to the sound of chickens scratching around the yard, not the noise of hundreds of other holidaymakers. Your day begins at your own pace and you feel the calm return instantly. Whether you choose to stay with a farmer or in a luxury tent, FarmCamps is all about relaxing. You do not have to do anything, but you may do everything. Finally a holiday that feels the way a holiday is meant to feel.

At FarmCamps, everything revolves around being outdoors, discovering new things, learning and enjoying farm life. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to become an official Forest Partner of Trees for All from 1 January 2026. Over the next three years, we will plant at least 2,000 trees together, half of them in the Netherlands — creating our very own FarmCamps Forest. How great is that?

Camping is wonderful being outside, waking up to the sound of birds and roasting marshmallows by the campfire in the evening. But let’s be honest: a little extra comfort makes it even better. That’s why glamping at FarmCamps is the perfect mix of adventure and luxury. You’ll stay on a real, working farm, surrounded by animals and nature, but with all the comfort of a fully equipped tent. Wake up to the sound of cows in the distance, enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh country air, and end the day watching the sunset from your veranda.  

Glamping short for glamorous camping is the perfect mix of nature, adventure, and comfort. For families, it’s an amazing way to disconnect from daily life, create lasting memories, and let the kids experience the outdoors. At FarmCamps, you get it all: luxury tents on real working farms, surrounded by animals, open space, and peace for the parents. 

A farm is a wonderful place to take photos. The combination of playful children, curious animals, and warm light creates images full of life and emotion. Still, it’s not always easy to capture those spontaneous moments well. How do you make sure your photos remain genuine and natural, without looking too posed? Good preparation and the right camera make all the difference. 

If you dream of waking up to the salty sea breeze, spending your afternoons with sand between your toes, and ending the day by a campfire surrounded by peace and nature, then campsites by the sea are exactly what you need. At FarmCamps, we take this idea to the next level offering you luxury camping on real working farms, close to the coast, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. 

Looking for a spontaneous getaway with a touch of luxury? Then a last-minute glamping trip at FarmCamps is exactly what you need. Escape the busy day-to-day life, enjoy the outdoors, and sleep under the stars but in a comfortable, fully equipped tent.

For many parents, a farm holiday means peace, nature and a break from the busy routine. But what makes a farm holiday in the Netherlands truly special for children? We asked kids who stayed at FarmCamps this year – and their answers were wonderfully honest and surprising.

What do holiday memories and Instagram have in common? They let you relive the best moments over and over again and inspire others to go on the same adventure. Whether it’s that very first pony ride, a freshly baked bread roll at the farm, or a cosy boardgame in the tent. These are moments that truly capture the FarmCamps experience.
