Kids will never be bored on the farm. At many places, they can even help the farmer out. Bring in the cows from the pasture, learn how to milk, help feed the animals, or hop on the tractor for an adventure. And who knows, by the end of the week they might even earn a real farmer’s diploma. How cool is that? Meanwhile, you can relax in a hammock with a coffee, a book or a newspaper, and nothing but mooing cows and chirping birds around you. Time to pack a good weekend bag and head out with the whole family to enjoy the freedom of nature.
Another big perk of staying on a farm? The food. No plastic-wrapped breakfasts, but a fresh egg from the chicken, milk from the cow your kid just cuddled, and jam made from the fruit growing on the tree behind your tent. It tastes better and feels better.
For kids who’ve always dreamed of having a rabbit, pony, or even a cow – this is pure heaven. On many farms, they can care for their own animal during the holiday. Brushing, feeding, cuddling, and maybe even taking their new best friend for a walk. And yes, it’s just as adorable as it sounds.
Got your own tent, camper, or caravan? Then a farm campsite is perfect. Prefer a real bed and not messing around with tent pegs and guy lines? Glamping might be more your style. Luxury tents with their own kitchen and often even a private bathroom. Just pack your suitcase and go.
There are even glamping spots that take you back to basics. No electricity, no modern fuss. Candlelight, cooking over a wood fire, and cozy evenings around the campfire. Honestly, it’s kind of nice to unplug for a while.
If camping’s not your thing at all, don’t worry – there are plenty of farms with chalets, holiday homes, or even B&Bs. You get all the charm of farm life, but with walls, a couch, and a warm shower. For many parents, it’s the perfect mix.
Besides all the fun on the farm, kids also pick up valuable lessons. They learn where their food comes from, how to treat animals kindly, and why playing outside is way more fun than Netflix. And the best part? They’re having the time of their lives – without you needing to plan a packed schedule.




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!
Sometimes a good idea starts on holiday. That’s how Olga from Farms Around found herself in France with her family, searching for camembert: not from the supermarket, but straight from a farmer or small local producer. Cheese that is not only delicious, but also tells you something about the place you are visiting. The only problem? It turned out to be surprisingly difficult. Where do you find a farm shop like that, what exactly do they sell and can you just drop by?
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.

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.

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.
