Glamping with Kids on the Farm at FarmCamps 

Glamping short for glamorous camping is the perfect combination of nature, adventure and comfort. For families, it’s a wonderful way to take a break from everyday life, make memories together and let the children discover nature. At FarmCamps, you’ll find it all: luxury tents on real working farms, surrounded by animals, plenty of outdoor space and peace for the parents.

Why families love FarmCamps

The tents are fully equipped with real beds, a kitchen, dining area, seating area and often even private bathroom facilities.
You stay on a working farm, meet cows, ponies, sheep and other animals, and discover in a playful way where food comes from. There are plenty of child-friendly activities: feeding the animals, building huts, playing in the hay or completing the Farmer’s Passport. Suitable for all ages from toddlers to teenagers (and of course, for parents too).

5 tips for a successful glamping holiday

1. Choose the right farm
FarmCamps has more than 20 farms across the Netherlands from Zeeland to Drenthe. Choose what fits your family best: animals, a playground, or extra comfort like private bathroom facilities.

2. Let the kids help decide
Let them help choose the farm or tent type Farm Tent, Safari Tent or Barn Tent. That way, the excitement starts at home and they’ll be even more enthusiastic upon arrival.

3. Pack smart
Glamping means comfort in nature. Bring comfortable clothes, sturdy shoes, a raincoat and a flashlight for the evenings. Don’t forget some games or marshmallows for the campfire!

4. Balance fun and relaxation
Kids want to play and explore, parents want to relax. At FarmCamps, both are possible: the kids are busy outdoors while the parents enjoy peace and nature.

5. Make it educational
A stay on the farm is not only fun but also educational. Where does milk come from? What does a farmer do all day? Let the children keep a little journal or take photos of what they discover.

What to expect

When you arrive, your luxury tent is already set up on the farmyard maybe next to the cows, sheep or ponies. During the day, the children help feed the animals, play outside or explore the farm. In the evening, it’s time for the campfire, stargazing and relaxing together. Parents can enjoy the peace and the fresh country air.

For whom

FarmCamps is perfect for families who want something different from a standard holiday park. For parents who appreciate comfort and children who love to run, play and explore.
