Let's go to the farm with FarmCamps, Frutesse, and Canisius

A farm holiday is a wonderful way to truly get away together. Fresh air, animals up close, muddy boots and children fully immersed in outdoor life. With good preparation, your farm holiday becomes a relaxed and carefree adventure. 

The romantic image of a dog running freely around the farmyard is a dream for many people. On a farm, they have plenty of space to sniff around and burn off their energy. According to the enthusiasts of allesoverhondenrassen.nl, this setting is a true paradise for active animals. However, life among heavy tractors and livestock does require clear rules. 

A farm holiday is all about being outdoors, animals, space and freedom. Children can get messy, discover where food comes from and spend their days playing in nature. That’s exactly why so many families choose a farm holiday close to home, in the Netherlands or just across the border in Germany. But sometimes there’s a desire to combine that farm feeling with a little extra: culture, sunshine and a different setting. 

At FarmCamps, we believe in holidays close to home. Staying on a farm in the Netherlands or just across the border in Germany – that’s where it starts for us. But let’s be honest: sometimes you feel the urge to look a little further. And if you do decide to travel abroad, why not do it in a way that is just as pure and child-friendly as the farm holidays you already know?

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

At FarmCamps things work very differently. No headless chickens, just farm life. And you can take that quite literally. You wake up to the sound of chickens scratching around the yard, not the noise of hundreds of other holidaymakers. Your day begins at your own pace and you feel the calm return instantly. Whether you choose to stay with a farmer or in a luxury tent, FarmCamps is all about relaxing. You do not have to do anything, but you may do everything. Finally a holiday that feels the way a holiday is meant to feel.

At FarmCamps, everything revolves around being outdoors, discovering new things, learning and enjoying farm life. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to become an official Forest Partner of Trees for All from 1 January 2026. Over the next three years, we will plant at least 2,000 trees together, half of them in the Netherlands — creating our very own FarmCamps Forest. How great is that?

Camping is wonderful being outside, waking up to the sound of birds and roasting marshmallows by the campfire in the evening. But let’s be honest: a little extra comfort makes it even better. That’s why glamping at FarmCamps is the perfect mix of adventure and luxury. You’ll stay on a real, working farm, surrounded by animals and nature, but with all the comfort of a fully equipped tent. Wake up to the sound of cows in the distance, enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh country air, and end the day watching the sunset from your veranda.  

Glamping short for glamorous camping is the perfect mix of nature, adventure, and comfort. For families, it’s an amazing way to disconnect from daily life, create lasting memories, and let the kids experience the outdoors. At FarmCamps, you get it all: luxury tents on real working farms, surrounded by animals, open space, and peace for the parents. 

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.
