About this location
Dear campers, from April to September we kindly ask you to book a minimum of 2 nights on weekends – thank you for your understanding. Welcome to our little cottage in Drensteinfurt! You'll be camping on our orchard meadow on the south side of the farm, with space for up to 10 people – children and dogs are very welcome.

Fruit trees of old, now rare varieties have stood in the meadow for 80-100 years. As part of a NABU (German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union) orchard meadow project, we have replanted many more old varieties. You are welcome to help yourself to the fruit and berries when nature is plentiful. Mill Tower & Wildlife 🐦🐇 🐐 Our mill tower (built in the late 1800s) lost its sails early on due to a fire. Until the end of its operational life, the mill was powered by a combined heat and power plant. Today, the tower is a historical monument and a nesting site for kestrels; in spring, you can observe their young. At night, you'll often hear owls, and during the day, many songbirds and corvids. Hares and pheasants frolic in the meadows, and with a bit of luck, you might spot a deer. We also have two old goats, Azrael and Lavender, as well as our cat 🐈 Katinka, who even comes on holiday with us in our 40-year-old camper van. Sounds & Atmosphere 🌿 Acoustically, you're right in the heart of rural life: birdsong, kestrels, owls, the wind in the trees, and the occasional piece of farm equipment are all part of the experience. A country road runs in front of the meadow, and a main road is about 200 meters away. Depending on the weather and time of day, the background traffic is sometimes more, sometimes less audible; many sounds are absorbed by farm buildings, trees, and fields. Our guests find the combination of nature, expansive views, and rural sounds very relaxing – a taste of authentic country life, with quiet and sometimes a bit louder sounds. 🐕 Dogs are very welcome. If you have pets with you, by booking you agree to our camper rules (section "Dogs") – please be sure to read them.
