Nice micro-camping away from the crowd.
About this campspace #s003835
Your host
DirkOur camping field is located on our 3-hectare site in the garden of Groningen, the beautiful Westerkwartier where people are constantly surprised by the changing landscape with its meadows and fields, swamps, heath and peat lakes and woods. A maximum of 5 tents and/or caravans or motorhomes are allowed. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings back to basics and relax. In the common room there is a fully equipped kitchen, there is a pool table, pinball machine, shuffleboard and dart board, a cupboard full of books, magazines, games and craft supplies. So you can enjoy yourself here if the weather is not so nice.
There is a fire pit on the property where you can make a cozy campfire. There is plenty of space for children to build huts or jump on the trampoline, cuddle with our pony Tequila, feed the chickens, and collect farm-fresh eggs yourself. Within cycling distance there is the barefoot path that children often can't get enough of. From our location you can take beautiful walks, our meadow has its own walking path that was made possible by Routebureau Groningen and is included in the walking junction network. You can also cycle surprise cycling routes of various lengths that we have set out ourselves. We have one ladies and one men's bicycle that can be rented. Hiking trails such as Pettenpad, Melle's pad, Pebe's pad, Abel Tasmanpad, Kale Jonkerpad, Witte Nonnenpad, Leedaanzggerspad and the beautiful Curringheveld are all in the immediate vicinity. There is WiFi available, but our motto is: "There is no WiFi in the forest, but there is a better connection”.

We are still busy with the renovation of our farm, but would like to share our beautiful place with others, we have been doing that for a few years now through our [self-service] tea garden and the rental of our log cabin, antique caravan and the rental of our communal space for parties. and workshops, our guests can also cook, play games and play pool here. We like to reuse materials as much as possible. Our motto is "there is no WiFi in the woods, but there is a better connection".

We spontaneously went to Dirk and Hendrika's farm for two nights at Easter. Our children in particular immediately felt at home. Everything you need is there and Hendrika showed and explained everything to us. We were allowed to take wood and could make a nice fire in the fire barrel in the evening. The children were allowed to groom the pony and played and cuddled a lot with the cats.
We only used the lounge to wash up, but you can make yourself comfortable there, play games etc. and also cook. All basics such as spices and co are available.
Our pitch was very nice, with a view over the pastures. At breakfast we could even watch a stork on the side pasture. We really enjoyed the peace and nature.
How was the contact with the host?
Dirk and Henrika responded very quickly to our request one day before we arrived. We were greeted warmly and Henrika provided us with tips and cycling maps. The two told us about their farm and what else they are up to and planning. It was a very pleasant interaction. Thank you again for the nice little break with you!
Tips for new guests?
Definitely take a bike with you! The area is great to explore.

What a wonderfully nice quiet beautiful place! I have felt more than welcome, toilet and shower were excellent and kitchen use was possible. It was a wonderful stay between the cats, the chickens, the horse and of course the dog. Thank you for the warm welcome!

We stayed 2 nights with Dirk and Hendrika. We contacted them last minute and were able to contact them immediately. Clean and sufficient sanitary facilities and a well-equipped kitchen inside. Recommended!

Tips for new guests?
We visited camping site De Watermolen about 6 kilometers away. They have a large pond where you can also swim / lie down for €2.5 in warm weather. Definitely fun with kids too!

It was great here! Me and my girlfriend spent two nights on the lawn behind the house, which had a beautiful view of the meadow. On the sides were rows of beautiful green trees and behind the meadow where the horse (Tequila) stood, you looked out into a field. A good quality toilet and shower were located in a separate building on the other side of the farm, from the field it was a short walk around the farm but it was still close by. Dirk and Hendrieke were incredibly nice and helpful! We felt very welcome here and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. Inside the farm is a kitchenette that we could use when the door of the farm was open (this was when someone was around, usually all day). There is also a log cabin at the farm where other people slept, seemed to be a nice accommodation too. Hendrieke gave us good inside tips about walking routes, and a super cute and beautiful path runs around a meadow next to the farm, which is constantly shifted by them. Dirk and Hendrieke are busy renovating the farm and they told me about it with enthusiasm when I asked about it. Really a great choice this campspace, definitely recommended! Thanks Dirk and Hendrieke!

The owners were very nice and hospitable. The field with a view of corn and a horse was fine and sheltered (vegetation on both sides). There was a fire pit and some wood we were allowed to use, very cosy! The driveway just went with our 3:15m high camper, here and there pushed a branch up. Toilet and shower on the other side of the farm. Tip: take some groceries with you, the shops are not right around the corner.
