- All farm animals
This is what makes this farm so much fun!
In the outskirts of Kaatsheuvel you will find this nice and cosy horse farm of the Smulders family. A few minutes’ walk takes you to the Loonse en Drunense Duinen, a unique nature area with large shifting sands, heathland and coniferous trees.
At De Smulhoeve, you will stay in one of the 6 luxury Ranchtents, 4 luxury Lodgetents or in the 9 luxury Barntents. The tents are fully equipped and all have a private bathroom.
The Lodgetent has a large bathroom in the tent with a lovely, spacious shower cubicle. The Barntent also has a bathroom in the tent, but with a lovely bathtub with shower. If you opt for the Ranchtent, the Hay Hay Bath Trailer with bath and shower is next to your tent. Nothing but luxury, so now all you have to do is choose………
This FarmCamps farm is nice and central on a through road from Kaatsheuvel to Waalwijk. On the farmyard, you won’t even notice the traffic on the road. As soon as you pass the stables, you will discover the peace and space of this beautiful rural area of Kaatsheuvel. Behind the campsite are the sports fields; if the wind is wrong, you can hear the motorway at night.
The 19 luxury tents are on a large field at the very back of the yard. Here you have a view of, and are surrounded by, the meadows where you can see the horses, ponies but also the neighbour’s cows grazing.
On this location, it is not possible to camp using your own equipment. FarmCamps BoeBaDoe also welcomes day guests, as it is possible to and spend an afternoon (or morning) playing and enjoying the animals. Also, it is not possible to bring your own pony, horse or dog to this farm.
Luxury Ranch Tent with Hay Hay Bath trailer next to the tent. Spaciously furnished with, among other things, a cosy living space.
Luxury Lodge Tent with private bathroom. Spaciously furnished with, among other things, a cosy living space.
Luxury Barn tent with bathroom in the tent. Spaciously furnished with, among other things, a cosy living space.
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 each stay, farmer Karin gives a Tour de Boer (Farmers’ tour) around their yard. She will tell you what they do, how they live and work and show you around the farm.
Every morning after feeding the animals, you can brush one of Farmer Karin’s shetland ponies together, accompanied by your parents or grandparents. If you really want to groom your own pony, take it to your tent or ride it. Then ask whether it is possible to reserve a grooming or cuddly pony.
Together with farmer Karin, you will pimp a horseshoe. You will also have a nice souvenir to take home! If you hang the horseshoe on the wall at home, it will even bring good luck!
During your holiday, you can join the pony walk to the beautiful Loonse and Drunense Dunes nature reserve. Together with farmer Karin, your parents and the lovely ponies you will set off. And of course you sit on your pony while your parents walk next to you and hold the pony. Riding experience is not necessary. The walk lasts about an hour and a half. Price € 45 for children with care pony and € 55 for children without care pony
Together with your parents, you walk a marked route along the farm. Your parents walk next to the pony, and you sit on it, of course.
Do you love pony riding? Then book an hour of loose riding in the arena. There is opportunity for this twice a week. Would you like to ride more? Then book a grooming pony. If you have no riding experience, your parents will walk alongside the pony. Please note: Farmer Karin does not provide separate riding lessons on the farm!
Would you like your “own” pony during your holiday and are you 3 years old or older? Then hire a grooming pony from farmer Karin. Besides one hour of supervised riding every day, you will also be responsible for all the care: i.e. feeding, brushing, cuddling but also “shovelling poo”. you have little or no experience, help from your parent(s) is required.
There is a choice of ‘Care for your own Pony’ small (4-12 years, max 40 kg), ‘Care for your own Pony’ medium (8-12 years, max 50 kg and experience preferred) and a ‘Care for your own Pony’ large (from 11 years to max 65 kg, riding experience preferred).
The ‘Care for your own pony’ is very popular. We recommend to book this directly at booking of the accommodation (if still available).
Don’t want to or can’t ride a pony yet, but do you enjoy cuddling them? Then hire a cuddly pony during your holiday. You will then get your “own” sweet shetlander, which you can groom, brush, cuddle and walk around the farm every day. Age from 3 years. Please note: the cuddly pony cannot be ridden.
If you like to play, this is the place to be! Among other things, you can play football here, build huts in the bushes, tear around on the go-karts or mess around with sand and do somersaults on the trampoline.
A deliciously fresh farmers breakfast delivered to your tent including fresh bread, milk, juice, yoghurt, eggs (you cook these to your own liking) and of course a variety of condiments.
Breakfast can be ordered for every day except Monday and Friday and the midweeks outside the school holidays.
Every morning, except in midweek outside school holidays, you can also use the sandwich service. You can order the sandwiches from the farm shop a day in advance.
Farmer Karin also organises cosy pizza evenings. During your stay, check the activity board for the exact date.
No need to lug around your own baby gear! This package includes a baby bed, high chair and a changing mat. Don’t forget to bring your baby’s own bed linen though.
Not only will your mini-farmers look very cool in these red overalls but you’ll be sure their clothes don’t get ruined!
Includes 1 x large and 1 x small, thick white towel. Perfect for leaving washing behind at the end of your holiday!
For € 5.50 per bed we’ll make sure your beds are ready and waiting for you. Fall into them as soon as you arrive and let the relaxation begin! The coffee lovers bundle Please note that this service is not available in July and August.
