Heel leuk. Zeer verzorgde en complete tent. Voldoende speelgelegenheid voor de kinderen. Hele lieve dieren en elke dag een programma met de verzorgpony's.

It was amazing! Great location, clean and lots of activities to keep the kids entertained. Helpful staff too!

Farmer Karin and her family provide an unforgettable holiday on their cozy horse farm in the Kaatsheuvel municipality, where Shetland ponies steal the show and the pigs, goats, chickens and rabbits are hungry for your attention. Close to the Efteling themepark.
Not everything in Kaatsheuvel is a fairytale, because this incredibly beautiful and cosy horse farm really exists! This is where farmer Karin lives with her husband Dennis and their 3 older children (age 14+) Mees, Suus and Faas. Farmer Karin is a hostess pur sang, fond of chatting and conviviality! Karin’s parents live next to the farm and especially farmer Cees, Karin’s father, you will often meet on the farm. This horse farm is home not only to the Smulders family’s horses and ponies, but also to six boarders. Today, Karin’s herd comprises more than 30 horses, ponies and lots of Shetlanders. Those sweet Shetlanders really play the leading role here. They are all super sweet and reliable ponies that are used to being around children. The Smulhoeve is a true paradise for young horse girls and boys. Here you can rent your ‘own’ Care Pony and spend your holiday taking care of your pony. From cleaning and mucking out the stables to an hour’s ride a day. Even if you are not yet allowed or do not want to ride a pony, you can still enjoy your pony heart here. Book a Cuddle Pony and you can cuddle your pony endlessly during your holiday, pamper it and walk with it across the yard. You can also choose to join the pony walk to the Loonse and Drunense Dunes. So there is something for everyone. Besides the ponies and horses, the farm is also home to lots of other sweet animals. Like the cuddly alpacas with which you can take a walk around the farm. But also the little pigs Geer and Goor, the cute goats, chickens and the sweet cats and bunnies can’t wait to get a cuddle from you. A colourful mess of animals, you could say. But at The Smulhoeve, it’s not all about the horses, ponies and animals. In fact, there are two camps in the family; the ‘horse camp’ and the ‘football camp’. Because besides their love for horses, they are all very active with football. So there is plenty of time and space here for a game of football on the tent field. Or grab one of the go-karts to explore the yard, practice somersaults on the trampoline or get dirty in the sandbox. The yard offers hours of fun. At FarmCamps De Smulhoeve, you are guaranteed not to get bored. And if you do want to leave the yard for once, you can cycle to the Efteling or walk to the Loonse and Drunense Dunes.

Where do I sleep?

At De Smulhoeve, you stay in one of the 19 luxury tents, all situated around a large field at the back of the farm. From the tent, you have a view of the playing kids and are surrounded by meadows with horses and ponies, as well as the cows of the neighbors. You sleep in a Lodge or Barn Tent with your own bathroom in the tent, or you can choose a Ranch Tent with a Hay Hay Bath trailer next to the tent.

Fun and Educational

No farm adventure would be complete without learning a thing or two from the professionals. And that is what farmer Karin personally takes care of. Here, everything revolves around the sweet shetlanders and ponies. If you have booked a cuddly pony, you can cuddle it, groom it and take it for a walk on the farm. Would you like to ride as well? Then a grooming pony is just the thing for you! But of course you can also help feed the pigs, alpacas, goats, chickens and rabbits. The real cuddlers can lie down in the hay with the bunnies and enjoy those soft snouts that curiously come and sniff at you.

If you are more into playing, you will also find what you are looking for in this yard. There is a hay barn, go-karts to tear around on and a large playing field in the middle of the tent site where you can enjoy playing football, trampolining or messing about with sand. Or live it up on the tennis court.

Convenient and delicious

On weekends and holidays, you can use the bread service. How handy is that! Don’t feel like cooking yourself? Twice a week, Karin prepares delicious fresh pizza for you. For dessert, you can enjoy a delicious organic farm ice cream!

No one likes going home with a bag of dirty washing, Then order the Towel Pack and rent the one and only FarmCamps farmer’s overall for the kids. This way they look just like a farmer and their clothes don’t get so dirty either!

You can order all your extras at the point of booking, but if you are not sure yet don’t worry, you can also order them on the spot.

This is all there is to do nearby

We know from experience that you are unlikely to leave the farmyard. Simply because there is so much to do at FarmCamps De Smulhoeve and the kids won’t be bored for a minute. And then the parents have a good time too, right?

If you do want to see something of the surrounding area, this part of North Brabant has plenty to offer. For example, De Loonse en Drunense Duinen at walking distance from the farm, with cosy restaurants on the edge of the dunes such as De Roestelberg or Het Genieten. Visit one of the charming villages and terraces in Brabant or spend a day at the Efteling, less than a kilometre from the farm. Monkey Town and Jump XL are also nearby if the weather is a bit less pleasant. So there is something for everyone!
