In this arable region of Zeeland you will find the farm of Farmer Jan and his wife Ella. Nowadays it turns its hand to all things equine, together with a ‘nature education center’. No longer a working farm, FarmCamps Five Star looks to teach your mini-farmers in a fun and enjoyable way about agriculture and farm life.
Ella for example will show the kids how to make their own chips (and of course they can eat them too), while Farmer Jan will happily treat you to a “Strandjuttertje” at the weekly campfire evening.
What farm would be complete without a few furries? Here your mini-farmers can help to care for the stunning Blonde d’Aquitaine beef cow, ponies, the pigs Karbo and Naadje and many chickens, cats and rabbits.
Kids are free and safe to stroll around here and if it’s bad weather then just try stopping them from jumping around in the ‘Farmers Ball Pit’! All this and more is waiting for you and it’s all less than 5km from the delightful Banjaard beach and Veerse Meer.
What a great choice!
Sun, sea, beach & horses!
This is what makes this farm so much fun!
The beautiful Zeeland island of ‘Noord-Beveland’ is surrounded by lake Veerse, the incredible Eastern Scheldt dam (part of the Delta Works series) and the North Sea – here there are endless opportunities to enjoy the real Zeeland landscape on sunny days.
At FarmCamps Five Star you can choose from one of our 11 luxury, fully equipped Safari Tents including a private toilet. Showers are in the nearby bathing facilities. Four of the Safari Tents even have an airconditioning. Or you can treat yourself to a little extra luxury with one of our 8 fully equipped Lodge Tents including private bathrooms.
This FarmCamps farm is located on a quiet dyke and is surrounded by meadows and fields. The farm also has a field with 5 pitches where people with their own camping equipment can stay. Less than 5km away you will find the beautiful Banjaardstrand and the Veerse Meer lake.
Our luxury tents are set around an attractive field lined with trees which protect you against any Zeeland wind. Here your mini-farmers are safe to play and explore the farm, you don’t need to worry that they wander too far away.
At FarmCamps Five Star there are also 5 camping spots for guests with their own camping equipment. More information can be found on the website of the farm itself.
No farm adventure would be complete without learning a thing or two from the professionals. Farmer Jan and his wife Ella take this very personally! So you can expect to join Farmer Jan every day to care for his ponies, or you can feed the other animals in the barn. Farmer’s wife Ella will teach you how to make delicious chips from fresh farm potatoes.
If you are more into playing, you will definitely get your money’s worth on the farm too. Skelting, jumping on the trampoline, making sand cakes in the sandpit or walking on the undulating water bed. There is plenty to do! And in bad weather, the kids dive into the ball pit of the indoor playground and you can enjoy a cappuccino with a delicious slice of home-made apple cream pie or have something to eat from the small menu.
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 task, they get a stamp from the farmer or farmer’s wife after feeding.
During each stay, farmer Jan gives a Tour de Boer (farmer tour) around their yard. He will be happy to tell you what they do, how they live and work, and show you around their farm.
Together with Ella you will learn how to make delicious chips from fresh farm potatoes – and of course you will get to taste it too!
During your holiday you can help every morning with taking care of the ponies. There is a big chance you will will be able to ride a pony once for free. But if you want more pony time, that is no problem of course! Together with your parents you take a pony walk through the lovely country side. You on it a and your parents next to it.
Want to go to the beach by bike? There are several bicycle rental companies close to the farm, just around the corner in the village of Kamperland. One of them even delivers the bicycles to the farm.
To do this scavenger hunt you will need the sheet with pictures of animals on and things you can find around the farmyard. Tick the box if you have spotted one. Can you find all of them?
If the weather is a bit poor, or if you feel like having a blast in the climbing paradise or in the ball pit, dive into the indoor playground of FarmCamps Five Star.
If you are more into playing, you will certainly get your money’s worth on the farm. Race on the go-karts, jump on the trampoline or play with sand. Here there are no rules – just enjoy yourself!
Looking for ultimate relaxation? Well look no further because Farmer’s wife Ella is up and about at the crack of dawn and happy to deliver breakfast to your tent! Or maybe you fancy an evening BBQ? Not to worry, she will organise this for you. The farm also has a farm shop where you can buy some basic foods, baby food and treats, and order fresh sandwiches. Handy right?
Do you want to sit down for a nice lunch or early dinner? On the farm there is an extensive menu in the restaurant near the indoor playground until 6 pm with sandwiches, salads, poffertjes, pancakes, fries and snacks. When the weather is nice, you can sit on our sheltered terrace.

What better way is there to soak up the beautiful landscape than to take a lovely bike ride from the farm. Luckily you can hire a range of bikes on the farm. There are bikes for adults, children’s bikes and even the popular Babboe box bike, perfect for packing everything in for a family trip to the beach.
Watching other families enjoy themselves here shows us how few leave the farm since there is so much to see and do. Here the kids are in their element and don’t have time to get bored! That´s why the parents are having a great time too.
