FarmCamps De Buitenhoeve is located in Haaften, a small village on the Waal river in the West-Betuwe region. The versatile landscape has dikes, lush pastures and fruit orchards. The farm of Aico and Kirsten is located just outside Haaften, opposite a small nature reserve, so very rustic and rural.
At De Buitenhoeve you will stay in one of the 15 luxurious Barn Tents or in one of the 5 luxurious Farm Tents. In the Barn Tent you discover the real glamping experience, with your ensuite bathroom and bathtub, large kitchen with dishwasher, Lavazza espresso machine, 6 super comfy beds, 2 of which can be found in the cozy Hay Hay sleep attic, your own BBQ, outdoor fireplace and a hammock for total relaxation when outside.
The spacious field where the tents are located is to the right of the farm, has its own driveway, parking and is only accessible to the staying guests. The luxury tents are set up playfully and at a large distance from each other and overlook the play facilities on the same field. From the tent, the kids can walk straight to the cuddle and play barn or take a look at the cowshed.
On this location, it is not possible to camp using your own equipment.

At check-in, children will receive FarmCamps’ Farmers Passport. This contains fun and educational assignments. Your mini-farmers can discover and experience real life on a farm. For each completed task they will receive a stamp in their Farmer’s Passport.
During your stay farmer Aico or Kirsten will give a Tour de Boer (guided famers tour). They help you get acquainted with the farm, tell you how they work and what they do.
As they show you around you get to find your bearings and also hear special stories about the farm.
Do you know what yoghurt is made of? Exactly, from fresh milk! Together with farmer Kirsten, you will make your own delicious (fruit) yoghurt from the fresh milk from the milk tank. Note: This activity only takes place during midweek. Children up to 6 years old can participate when accompanied by an adult.
A cheese making mini-workshop cannot be missed on a cheese farm. Together with farmer Kirsten you can make your own pound of cheese for home in about half an hour. After the workshop, the cheese is not yet ready to eat, because it still has to ripen at home for another 4 weeks, which is exciting! Children up to 6 years old may participate accompanied by an adult.
Farmer Kirsten likes to share her love for horses with her guests. Her ponies Luna, Stoer and Ollie, not forgetting Ko the donkey, really enjoy being polished, brushed and cuddled. Those who are brave enough can also book a pony walk
Farmer Kirsten’s ponies need to be taken out to pasture every day. She could really use your help with that.
You are welcome to take one of the farm ponies for a walk. Together with your parents, you can follow the route that has been mapped out for you. Taking you through the “Tuilse Put” nature reserve opposite the campsite. You get to sit on the pony, whilst your parent walks next to you.
