't Looveld

Traditional dairy farm in Zweeloo, Drenthe

Rubbing shoulders with royalty…

Want to meet Maxima in person? You can at FarmCamps ‘t Looveld in Drenthe. On this traditional dairy farm, farmer Johan and farmer’s wife Matine give their dairy cows all royal names, so here you will meet them all.

They live and work in a unique spot in the Netherlands, on a dead-end road with only meadows and forest views. When you wake up in the morning, you can actually see the cows grazing next to your tent. How beautiful is that! With their 6 young kids, they enjoy this beautiful spot with you.

And farmer Johan can always use help taking care of the cows and calves. Here the kids can really learn and experience life on a dairy farm. Soon the kids will only like fresh milk!

Never taking life too seriously, Farmer Johan is known to start water fights on sunny days or take you for a ride on his wagon into the woods and let you find your own way home!

What a great choice!

This is what makes this farm so much fun!

Where do I sleep

Wow, what a view! When you step out of your tent, as far as you can see you see nothing but meadows and woods. This is a truly unique spot, with lots of peace, space and nature where you literally wake up among the cows.

At ‘t Looveld, you can choose from 5 different luxury tents. There are 4 luxury Safari tents with a toilet in the tent (you can shower in the heated sanitary building), 4 luxury Ranchtents with the cool Hooi Hooi Badtrailer with a bath and shower next to your tent, 5 luxury Farmtents with a bathroom in the tent, 2 even more luxurious Lodgetents or 2 Barntents with both the bathroom in the tent. Plenty of choice!

This FarmCamps farm is located on a quiet, dead-end road and is surrounded by meadows and fields. Within walking distance you will find a nice forest with fens and a dolmen.

The luxury tents are spread over 2 spacious fields and look out over the meadows with grazing cows and sheep or the cosy central campfire. Both fields have playground equipment, so the kids are always in sight. How nice is that! There is also a field with 10 pitches where people can stay with their own camping equipment.
