Living Heritage on the Farm

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. 

Why choose a farm holiday? Because it’s completely different from a standard getaway. No crowded boulevards or overbooked hotels, but fresh air, animals all around and plenty of space. It’s a place where you can relax and still stay active. You’ll return home with stories you’ll never forget – and with kids who won’t stop talking about their farm adventures for weeks. 

What do small-scale farms and nature have in common? Both offer an environment surrounded by greenery, animals, and that wonderful “back to basics” feeling.

Are you in the middle of a holiday or just enjoying a day off and looking for something fun to do with your child? Then consider a visit to a farm. Whether you live in a city or a village, there's almost always a petting zoo or a farm campsite nearby. And it's not just fun — it's also educational and surprisingly relaxing. Fresh air, animals, space — it’s exactly what many children (and parents) need. That’s also why it’s becoming more and more popular. So take a look and see if there’s a farm near you that’s especially designed for kids to play and get to know the animals.

There are just some places you love so much, once a year simply isn’t enough. For the Verhulst family, FarmCamps is exactly that kind of place. What started as a fun holiday on the farm has become a fixed part of their yearly routine. Sometimes, they even stay up to six times a year! In this blog, they share why FarmCamps feels like a second home, what makes it so special – and why they keep coming back.
