About this campspace

A cozy nostalgic farm campsite... Enjoy farm life as it used to be.
Located in the polder, next to the Amstel and 10 kilometers from bustling Amsterdam.
With us you can still enjoy the peace and space and a beautiful view over the polder. In the morning the cows walk past the campsite and in the evening you can make a campfire or throw a ball on the jeu de boules court.
The pleasant village (Ouderkerk a/d Amstel) with various shops can be found a few kilometers by bike or by boat.
You can reserve a tent site, these sites are without power supply.
We also have a nice flower-power caravan (back to the 70's) for the easy camper, which is equipped with all amenities.
New this summer is the tiny house, completely off-grid, equipped with a solar panel, compost toilet, outdoor shower and wood stove to warm the house and to cook.
If desired, it is possible to use the facilities at the campsite.
The campsite is not accessible by public transport.

Perfect for...

nature lovers and real campers.

We took our bikes into Amsterdam downtown which was just 15 km away. A gret stay!

We had a wonderful weekend away. Escape from the daily hectic in this oasis of peace. The campsite has clean sanitary facilities and the campsite is very spacious. The large table in the middle of the lawn was also very nice. Furthermore, great shade areas for when it is very hot. All in all we had a great time here.

How was the contact with the host?
She showed us around and showed us everything. Nice down to earth people.

Tips for new guests?
The beach is only half an hour away!

Very nice place! Quiet campsite, beautiful surroundings, good field. Excellent sanitary facilities, and charging points for devices are also arranged. In the evening it is quickly quiet. Nice standing here with the tent.

How was the contact with the host?
Super. Quick response, thinking along with cancellation / relocation. Furthermore, everything is clearly explained and indicated on the spot.

Tips for new guests?
If you are bothered by background noise, bring earplugs due to the proximity of Schiphol. A bicycle or car is a must, because the campsite is outside.

Beautiful location, a bit difficult to reach without a car as the bus stop was further away than expected, but the hosts are wonderful. Very easy to rent a bike and the route to Amsterdam is car-free and very pretty.

Very welcoming, friendly and available.

Plan ahead if you want to go to Amsterdam center daily and don't have a car.

We had great days with our daughter (1 year old) on Nicole and her husband's beautiful farm. We could always visit the sheep, chickens and cows and swim in the Amstel.
The shower and toilet were always very clean!

We had quick and nice contact with Nicole. Thank you for the great time!

Wonderful location with beautiful views of the polder. Sanitary facilities consist of 3 toilets and 3 showers and are regularly cleaned, which is very nice. Jumbo and plus 10 minutes drive.

Very accessible to approach. Responds quickly and regularly passes by.

Take into account when booking a place with electricity. Otherwise you will get a place without it.

A nice campspace if you want to enjoy a quiet base close to Amsterdam. Nicole and Kees have set up a small campsite next to their farm suitable for campers, small tents and where you can also stay and set up glamping tents. Great if you don't want to take your extensive camping set with you.
The glamping tents are furnished with cozy vintage furniture. This makes the tent very cozy and inviting. Next to the tent you will find an outdoor kitchen where you can bake an egg fresh from the chickens on the land.
Nicole is very welcoming and it is clear that she manages the campspace with care. The campsite is well maintained and equipped with all basic amenities.
For people who do not have a car, we took the train to Amsterdam-South, from here it is about 30 to 40 minutes by bike by public transport. You can cycle most of the route along the Amstel, which is a very beautiful part.

How was the contact with the host?
The contact was very good. Nicole responds quickly and is helpful.

Tips for new guests?
Ask Nicole if you can take a look at the farm and learn about what life is like as a milk farmer. Who knows your luck and there are little calves.

Only stayed 1 night, but can camp comfortably, sufficient facilities. Large meadow on which several tents / campers of other guests are also camping. Slightly less 1 on 1 contact with the host / hostess because the organization is a bit more businesslike than with my other campspace experiences. Obviously logical if the capacity of your domain is so large. Overall nice experience.

How was the contact with the host?
Good, a bit more formal than elsewhere, but correct and pleasant

We only needed a single night and the weather wasn't on our side, so we didn't 'experience' much. Immediately it was nice and tidy and there was plenty of space. Small campsite, but that was also what we were looking for. :-)

Quiet place, near the water. I often sat there in the evenings until the sun went down. Delicious...
Shower and toilet were very clean.
After 10 am it was also effectively quiet on the campsite. Very nice.

How was the contact with the host?
I only spoke to Nicole via email. She was very friendly, I could go to her with my questions and she emailed back very quickly.

Incredible experience to wake up in a tent with a freshly delivered breakfast!

How was the contact with the host?
Great! Very helpful and interested.

Tips for new guests?
Bring earplugs as lots of animals wake up before you intent to do!

Quietly located (except for air traffic) in a special small-scale polder environment and Amsterdam in the vicinity.
Larger Campspace than I prefer to use. Due to the open layout of the site (open field, no natural-looking vegetation that gives the impression of being in nature, but all other campers (caravans in particular) in the picture. I think that could be arranged more finely/ planted.
Good sanitary facilities (toilet, washing, showering, washing up). Also covered space available. I have not found an organized place for charging the phone (you just have to put it next to the washbasins). Well usable water tap for my water bag, but clumsy spout for filling bottles. It would be nicer to have water taps on the site itself rather than just on the edge.
In short, good Campspace with opportunities for improvement.
In better weather (unfortunately I had a lot of rain and wind) I may come again (longer).

How was the contact with the host?
Good, business, contact

Tips for new guests?
Take special water bags (with a large filling opening) with you and make sure you can shield yourself against wind and for privacy.

Very nice environment. Neat toilets and showers. Unfortunately, there were few children for entertainment during this period. The tour and explanation about farm life is a must and enjoy. Unfortunately we didn't have enough cooling space with the tent because people take food for a week. So changing a cool box and icepacs is handy. Because the freezer is not full.

How was the contact with the host?
Very good. She explains everything well and is there or someone else if you have any questions. She is clear.

Tips for new guests?
Bring a cool box... because it is a beautiful route where many cyclists get stranded. So little space for food in the fridge.
