If counting sheep is your way of getting to sleep then look no further than here. It’s doubtful that you’ll count them all though as there are more than 100 sheep milked daily at the Farm of Albert and wife Annelie.
Alongside the countless sheep and lambs here you’ll also discover an animal meadow full of sweet animals that can be pampered and cared of.
This farm is just 10 minutes away from one of the many Walcheren coast beaches, including the well-known resort of Domburg.
On Sundays, the farming family at Mariekerke spend time alone with their loved ones so please note that there are no organized activities.
What a great choice!
This is what makes this farm so much fun!
Walcheren in Zeeland is known for its beautiful beaches and the well-known cities of Middelburg and Vlissingen. On Albert and Annelie’s farm, all this is within easy reach.
At Mariekerke, you can choose from 3 different luxury tents. There are 3 luxury Haytents with toilet in the tent (you can shower in the heated sanitary building), 5 even more luxurious Lodgetents with bathroom with shower in the tent and 17 equally luxurious Barntents with even a bath in the tent. Plenty of choice!
Located on a quiet road, this FarmCamps farm is surrounded by meadows and fields. 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. 5km away you will find the lovely and spacious beach.
The luxury Hay tents are placed around a cosy field and overlook the play areas. So you always have the kids in sight while you enjoy the sun in your lazy chair. The luxury Lodgetents overlook the meadow where the dairy sheep graze happily. The luxury Barntents are located on a lovely field along the edge of the campsite with a large sandpit for the kids.

No farm adventure would be complete without learning a thing or two from the professionals. And Albert and Annelie personally take care of that. So you can watch Ellen milk the sheep and help look after the lambs, bunnies and other animals.
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 your stay Farmer Albert will show you the ropes with a guided tour of the farm. He will share with you the pleasure they get from working the land and raising their livestock.
In this creative workshop together with Annelie you can make a little sheep to take home from real sheep’s wool.
Now how cool would that be: a ride on a huge real tractor! Farmer Albert takes the kids out for a spin every week. An unforgettable experience.
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.
If you are more into playing, you will also have a great time on the farm. Go tobogganing, jumping on the trampoline or making sand cakes in the sandpit. Everything is possible and allowed.
Looking for ultimate relaxation? Your breakfast will be delivered to your tent by Albert. And if you fancy an evening BBQ, you don’t need to leave the yard for that either. Annelie will arrange it all for you! The farm also has a farm shop where you can buy all kinds of tasty local produce, basic groceries, fresh rolls and our own products, such as sheep’s cheese and meat. Handy, isn’t it?
No one likes going home with a bag of dirty washing, Then order the Towel Pack and rent the one and only FarmCamps farmer’s overall for the kids. Your mini-farmers will not only look great but their clothes will not get so dirty either!
You can order all these extras right away while booking. But of course, you can still arrange it on the spot.

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.
