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

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

At FarmCamps things could not be more different. No headless chickens, just farm life. And you can take that literally. You wake up to the sound of chickens gently scratching in the yard instead of the noise of hundreds of other holidaymakers. Your day begins at your own pace and you immediately feel calm returning. Whether you choose a stay on a farm or one of our luxury tents, relaxing is at the heart of every experience. You do not have to do anything, but you are free to do everything. Finally a holiday that feels the way a holiday is meant to feel.

No crowds, just cows

Holiday parks can be wonderful, yet they are often busy, full and overwhelming. Crowded pools, fixed schedules, queues for activities and the constant feeling that you need to be everywhere at once. It is the perfect recipe for unrest.

At FarmCamps you discover how different it can be. No crowds, just cows. Real cows that greet you from the meadow and a landscape that invites you to breathe. Here you are not swept along by a mass of people. You set your own pace and enjoy space, silence and nature. Across our twenty three farms in the Netherlands and our unique location in Germany you experience how wonderful it is to step away from the hustle and bustle. Looking for the right place for your family? Explore our options for a holiday or a weekend getaway.

No stress, just horses

True relaxation happens when you do not feel pressured to do anything. No planning, no rush, no obligations. At FarmCamps that feeling arrives almost naturally. While you get comfortable with a book or enjoy a quiet cup of coffee, the children discover farm life. Especially at the farms where horses and ponies take centre stage, a special kind of peace appears. Children can groom, cuddle or ride a pony, all at their own pace and without hurry.

Would you like a holiday where horses play a leading role? Then take a look at the possibilities on the pony page. It is the perfect choice for families who love animals, freedom and the outdoors.

Happy kids, relaxed parents

There is something wonderful about children who fully enjoy themselves. Because once they are happy, you are free. Free to relax, free to do nothing at all, free to enjoy real quality time. At FarmCamps you will notice that the rhythm of the farm naturally sparks curiosity in children. They play outside, help care for the animals, make new friends and discover nature like one big playground.

And you enjoy it just as much. You feel the calm, the slower pace and the joy of being together. Whether you choose a tent in the meadow or a comfortable glamping experience, the result is always the same. A relaxed holiday that gives you new energy.

FarmCamps proves that holidays do not need to be complicated. You do not need a massive resort and you do not need a long journey. All you need is nature, animals and time for each other. No stress, no rush, only the good life on the farm.

Choose your favourite location and discover how relaxing a family holiday can be.
