Luxury camping at the glamping site on a farm

Camping on a farm? It might sound old-fashioned, but it’s not as bad as it seems. This isn’t your standard campsite where you walk around with a toilet roll under your arm or hear your air mattress deflating at night. Here, it’s all about glamping. In other words, just camping, but with a little extra luxury. Think of a soft bed, your own toilet, a small kitchen, and sometimes even a hot tub next to your tent. You’re right in the heart of farm life, but without sacrificing comfort.

Waking up to the sound of the rooster

There are mornings when you’re woken up by a beeping alarm clock, and there are mornings when the rooster makes its announcement and the smell of freshly baked bread drifts into your tent. You can bet the latter feels much nicer. On a farm, nature is in charge. No rush, no stress. Just you, your tent, and the rhythm of the countryside. On many glamping destinations in the Netherlands, the farm is still fully operational. That means you’re welcome to lend a hand. Think collecting chicken eggs, feeding the goats, or maybe even milking the cows. And for the daring, there’s sometimes the chance to bottle-feed a newborn calf. You’ll learn something new without sitting in a classroom.

A paradise for children

For children, a farm holiday is one big adventure. They can roam freely, there are playgrounds, farm animals to cuddle, and often even a hay barn to run around in. No tablets, no crowded swimming pools, just running wild outdoors until they’re exhausted. Muddy shoes and rosy cheeks included. The best part is that while the kids burn off their energy, parents can enjoy a moment of peace. Reading a book in a hammock, sipping wine at sunset, or catching up around the campfire. On such a place, everyone gets to enjoy themselves.

Sleeping in a tent, but in style

Forget about that rickety pop-up tent from years ago. In glamping, you sleep in a spacious safari tent or lodge equipped with all the comforts. Think of a cozy dining area, a kitchen, your own bathroom, and sometimes even a cozy bunk bed for that nostalgic feel. In the evening, you cook on a wood stove and hear nothing but the rustling of trees and the soft moo of a cow in the distance – who wouldn’t want that? No hassle with stakes in the rain or wet sleeping bags. You arrive, unpack, and your holiday begins immediately.

A holiday that will stay with you for a long time

The best thing about glamping on a farm is that you really feel like you’ve gotten away from it all. You learn something new, chat with the farmer, or meet other guests, and your children create memories they won’t soon forget. It’s simple, but oh so special. Ready to discover farm life without giving up comfort? Then a glamping experience on a farm might just be your next vacation spot. Right here in the Netherlands, or just across the border in Belgium, France, or Germany. Close by, but still so different.

More stories from the farm

Camping on the farm is educational and a joy for children.

If you really want to make kids happy, put them among cows, chickens, and muddy puddles. Seriously. Forget that holiday park with water slides and animation teams – on the farm, they've got their own kind of entertainment. Think feeding goats, collecting eggs, brushing ponies, and romping in the hay. And the best part? They actually learn something too. Without even realizing it.
