FarmCamps De Verloren Kost

Contrary to the rest of Holland, South Limburg boasts beautiful rolling hills where you can almost forget you are in The Netherlands. Nestled between the valleys surrounding Gulpen lies FarmCamps De Verloren Kost. The meandering drive up to the farm is as spectacular as the location itself. It’s no wonder that Farmer Sherman and his wife Annemarie can think of no better place to live and work. Together with their family they took over the farm from Sherman’s parents and have never looked back. Together, this farming family recently converted their old dairy farm into a fun, educational and friendly recreational spot where the ponies play the lead role. The cows have moved out and their four legged friends have moved in. Annemarie runs this small-scale horse livery, teaches local kids how to ride and offers you the best Limburgse tart and ice creams while sitting in the sun on their outdoor terrace. Farmer Sherman is often out at work during the day but in the evening he pulls on his overalls and gets cracking on the farm – the work here never stops! The farm has something for everyone. There’s plenty to do with the ponies: you can sign up for a riding lesson, or how about an exciting ride through the woods? Farmer Annemarie can always use a helping hand when it comes to caring for the small animals in the animal meadow, where you’ll find ducks, Kunekune pigs and chickens. From the camping field, you have a lovely view of the surrounding countryside and the grazing animals. In the meadow, you’ll not only find ponies and horses, but also alpacas and donkeys. It’s even possible to go for a fun walk in the area with the alpacas. For real racing fans, there are BMX-bikes to race around the farm or in the nearby forest. Of course, there are also go-karts, trampolines, a water and sand playground and you can just play around in the yard. Bet you won't feel ‘lost’ for a moment in this fantastic place!
