About this campspace

Camping with a view of the pollard willows with the rumbling of cows in the background, a curious cat stroking your legs, watching the sun go down behind the mill, fog over the meadows. If you recover from that, you are more than welcome here!
If you are more enterprising, you can canoe in the Graaf or the river Giessen, cycle to the windmills of Kinderdijk, sail in the Biesbosch, walk to a tea garden, gaze over the many ditches, visit a thrift store, it's all possible here. If you still want to sniff out some culture, visit the fortified town of Gorinchem or old Dordrecht or cross over with the water bus to Loevestein Castle.

Your tent is on a dairy farm, but hidden behind a barn, you will not be bothered by that.
During the summer holidays we put up a furnished tent, so you are no longer the only camper, but this place is also for a maximum of 2 people.
It is a De Waard Albatros from the 1970s and the tent is decorated in that style. Everything you need for camping is available, there are good mattresses and you have a beautiful view of the meadows. Sitting in your chair with a cup of coffee and a book, you will automatically relax here.
If both places are booked at the same time, it still offers space and shelter enough for sufficient privacy.

There is a shower/ toilet where you can sometimes encounter company employees or other visitors. You are the only camper in the preseason, in the summer holidays it is possible that 2 places are booked at the same time.
There is a sink in the shed with hot and cold water where you can do the dishes or sit for a while when it rains very hard.
You can easily rent bicycles in the village at Bike Totaal IJzerman, he even has a delivery and collection service!

Hope to see you!

Perfect for...

nature lovers, walkers, cyclists

We live in a beautiful place in the polder of the Alblasserwaard. After years of being in the city, I am completely relaxed with all these views and beautiful skies. Because my husband runs a dairy farm, we are often at home. We would like to share this place with others, but we like peace and quiet, so no mini camping, but the occasional camper seems very nice to us!

Tips

eat an ice cream on the Vuilendam
watch the sunset from under the chestnut tree
To Dordrecht by water bus or to the fortified town of Gorkum or Loevestein Castle. The grain neighborhood in Giessenburg has nice shops and curiosa, the thrift store in Goudriaan has a lot of second-hand stuff
De Boerenklaas is the local pub in the village.
Cafe De Krom in Oud Alblas, the guesthouse at holiday park De Molenwaard, the Raadhuis in Goudriaan

Tell us about your experience
A very nice rural place. We were able to pitch our tent with a view of the polders with cows. A big plus was the beautiful sunrise. The road along which the farm is located becomes increasingly quiet during the night, but every now and then some traffic can be heard.
There are beautiful bike or canoe trips in the area.

How was the contact with the host?
Super hospitable. Extensive information and a tour of the farm. The many cats running around were also great fun for our 10-year-old daughter.

We were lucky, as the only campers, to camp 3 wonderful nights at Ari and Wilma's farm. We really enjoyed sleeping in the meadow surrounded by animals. The shower and toilet are in one of the barns and are fantastic. We were allowed to hang our laundry in the barn, there is also a fridge and sink for female campers. We are grateful for the many local tips we received from the homeowners, for their openness and for allowing us a glimpse into their daily life on a dairy farm. A calf was even born when we were there. We were allowed to see the animals in the stables, through Wilma's beautiful garden to paddle a kayak to the mill. For us it was unforgettable stay. Thank you Ari and Wilma!

How was the contact with the host?
Excellent

Tips for new guests?
Paddle a kayak to the mill.
Don't miss the owl call.
Cycle the mole circuit.
Just sit down and meditate. 😊

A wonderful and quiet camper place for a smaller camper. Lots of privacy and beautiful views over the meadows. Rented a canoe in good weather and sailed wonderfully. Beautiful cycling environment. Sanitary is super clean and well cared for.

How was the contact with the host?
Wilma and Arie are very hospitable and told a lot about their beautiful farm.

Tips for new guests?
A bicycle is definitely recommended to cycle to and through the Bieschbos. Dordrecht and Gorinchem are easy to do by bicycle.

We enjoyed our stay! A nice relaxing place, between the trees; part shade, part sun and out of the wind. Including a nice clean bathroom. From the place we were able to make a nice day trip to the Biesbosch. We were also able to take a look at the cows, Arie and Wilma are happy to explain and are helpful.

We had a lovely long weekend. The weather was very "ruuzebuuzig" (Zeeuws for impetuous) for 1 night, but otherwise slept wonderfully. Beautiful area where we have cycled a lot.
We had a great host (hostess was away for the weekend) who introduced us to the dairy farm. We found it very interesting.

How was the contact with the host?
Great host. Nice conversations shared.

Tips for new guests?
Come here to enjoy the peace and quiet and the beautiful surroundings.

Tell us about your experience
A wonderful address to stay! The welcome was very warm and Wilma gave a tour of the farm. All the sounds I could hear were named and that's really nice. When I heard a few screams I knew it must be the barn owls, a metal click, a cow was eating. It could be that the cows were led past my tent in the morning and I was lucky.
The place was lovely, nice view, quiet, choice to have mainly shade. And then being able to use the large bathroom, refrigerator and countertop, super.
Wilma and Arie are very friendly, happy to answer questions. The pussies are a real bonus.

How was the contact with the host?
The contact with Arie and Wilma is very pleasant. They are very welcoming and friendly.

Tips for new guests?
Get up early and enjoy the mist over the meadows. Shopping on Saturdays. (supermarkets closed on Sundays)

Camped for two nights at this beautiful spot in the polder.
Had a nice welcome and immediately got a nice tour of the farm.

The sanitary facilities are great, very large and the place for the tent is fine. In addition, a nice spot has been made in front of the road to watch the sunset.

Nice contact with the hosts! This place is definitely recommended!

Excellent experience, beautiful surroundings and despite the fact that there is a road nearby, it is still wonderfully quiet in nature. Also see a calf being born.

Walk through the meadow past the mill, which is more pleasant than along the road.

What a lovely place. The mornings were magical, as was the sunset. The bathroom, the washing-up area, ... It completed the stay completely.

How was the contact with the host?
Even before we got there, we felt very welcome. Arie and Wilma are incredibly warm and friendly.

Tips for new guests?
Ask for a tour. Arie and Wilma can be proud of their farm. The ultra-fresh milk is super tasty. Also make sure you have some space in your car because Wilma has green fingers and often has nice plants that you can buy.

We immediately felt very welcome, we were warmly received. A lovely spot so completely private for us alone. If you pitch your tent or camper cleverly, you will have a large spot with lots of privacy and a beautiful view of the tubercles, the meadows and the cows. We were 'lucky' that after weeks of rain the sun started to shine and the grass had to be mowed. They mowed until late at night and the nice thing was that Wilma had sent us a message about it before we came. so we were well prepared for some more farming noises than stated in the description. For us just more the feeling that we were really camping in the countryside. We have made beautiful bike rides on our racing bike via the junction routes.

We really had a great night with Arie and Wilma. The reception was really good, the facilities were also very good, actually better than we expected. A very luxurious large shower with a toilet. Enough space to set up the tent. Cows came by on Saturday, all-in-all it was super good. And there are also many sights around, you can eat ice cream and the supermarket is also close by. We had a nice bike ride. I actually have no points for improvement.

Camping on the farmland of Wilma and Arie is a serene experience. The hosts are very welcoming and would love to show you their cows (and cats!). There is only place for one tent, meaning you will be their only guests with clean, private facilities.

In case you have a kayak: take it with you! We peddled all the way to a 'thee tuin' nearby and had a blast in the sun. Don't forget to enjoy some ice cream in the village and watch astonishing sunsets. Will be visiting again!

On a Friday evening after work, we cycled with our camping gear from Rotterdam to the farm in Molenaarsgraaf through the scenic polder landscape. We were received at the farm by Arie, who showed us around. Later in the evening, we also met Wilma. Both hosts were very welcoming and friendly. We pitched our tent behind one of the barns in a protected spot with a nice view over the fields and with a hedgehog keeping us company in the bushes. We watched the sunset from the two beach chairs that Wilma had put in the strategic spot for catching the last rays. We used the toilet and shower in one of the barns. These facilities were very clean. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this farm.

We had an amazing time at this Campspace. There only being one spot means you have your own private bathroom and a lot of peace and quiet in the middle of a beautiful landscape. The host and her husband were incredibly nice and easy-going. They showed us around, introduced us to their cows, and really took their time to talk with us. It is a place with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I would love to visit again!
