Do you love horses and the beach? Then this farm has the perfect combination for you!

For horse and beach lovers the world over, FarmCamps Fleur Stables is the ideal place for you! Situated in the Noord-Holland province, this equine livery is home to over 50 horses and ponies and is located only 10 km from the famous Dutch seaside resort of Callantsoog. Your mini-farmers will be busy all day here watching and taking care of the ponies, sheep, goats and bunnies. Or they’ll be off on tractor rides with Farmer Jan who’s the leader of the pack here and loves to find fun things for all the family to do. Kids who always wanted to try riding a pony can get a pony diploma here. In just a few short lessons by instructor Thirza they’ll learn the basics of equine care and begin to learn how to ride a pony. At the end of your holiday they will proudly show you all that they have learnt. If your mini-farmer is already an experienced rider, then you can even book your own pony to take care of during your holiday. Don’t want to be busy with horses all day? In front of the door is a large ditch where you can enjoy fishing or sailing in farmer Jan’s motorboat or rowing boat.

What a great choice!

Care for your own pony!

Where do I sleep?

Experience extraordinary wilderness deep in the heart of the Dutch bulb growing region and surrounded by open meadows and dykes. The beach is a short 10 km away and did you know that together with Texel, this area has the most amount of sunshine in The Netherlands? At FarmCamps Fleur Stables you can choose from one of our 8 luxury, fully equipped Safari Tents including a private toilet. Showers are in the nearby heated bathing facilities. Or choose for the luxury Ranch Tents, with your own private Hay Hay Bath trailer! This Farm Camps farm is located on a quiet road along a beautiful canal which you can swim in or sail along. Around the farm, you’ll gaze at the cows and sheep grazing or watch Farmer Jan plough and mow his fields on his tractor. The luxurious tents are divided over two separate fields. The 8 luxurious Safari Tents are nicely pitched on a small stretch of field with lots of trees and bushes bordering a ditch, more commonly recognised as a small farmer’s waterway (fenced off hence child safe). On the other side of this ‘ditch’ is the field with 6 luxurious Ranch Tents. These tents are pitched a great distance from each other creating both privacy and space for the Hay Hay Bath trailer next to each tent. This farm also has 4 emplacements available for private campers.
