There is so much open space here in Drenthe and while the cows are happily grazing in their pasture with a backdrop of the beautiful forest of Ruinen, you will enjoy all this space and the beautiful views that go with it!
On this farm you can choose from one of our 25 luxury tents. The 15 Safari Tents includes a private toilet (showers are in the nearby heated bathing facilities). Or you can treat yourself to a little extra luxury with one of our 6 fully equipped Lodge Tents including private bathrooms. If you fancy a bathtub then you should chose one of the 4 Ranch Tents complete with the unique Hay! Hay! Bathroom Trailer (including bathtub and shower) next to your tent. There’s so much luxury – all you have to do is pick which type you prefer!
This FarmCamps farm is located on a quiet road and is surrounded by pastures and fields. Within walking distance you will find a lovely forest with many water pools including some where you can fish.
The 25 luxury tents are situated on two large fields behind the farmhouse. In the furthest field, adjacent to the meadow and overlooking the forest, are 5 Safari Tents, 4 Ranch Tents and 6 Lodge Tents. In the middle field are another 10 Safari Tents, all with views onto the campfire and a number of playgrounds.
There is also a field with a small orchard and 15 spots for any guests who wish to bring their own camping equipment.
During check-in all children are offered a Farmer’s Passport from FarmCamps. These are loaded with fun and educational activities which they can do independently or together with their farmer. 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. When their work is done they will graduate with their own farmhand diploma!

A fan of golf? Then why not head out to the open fields and play a unique round of farmer’s golf – mind the cows though! Or you can take a shot at ‘klootschieten’; a traditional Dutch ball game where participants try to throw a ball (the kloot) as far as they can.
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.
