About this location

At your leisure! Enclosed by a 6-hectare forest, near the Schulensmeer nature reserve... welcome to our little ecological oasis!
We're the perfect place for a short stay. We have six delightful, green spaces, and we only rent out three at a time to ensure everyone has peace and privacy. You choose one of these spaces on-site, and we'll reserve the nearest one for you. Ideal for cyclists, couples, small families, and others looking for peace and quiet nearby. It's easy!
You'll find a central, covered stable with cutlery, a small fridge, a coffee maker, basic restrooms, a large BBQ, a ping-pong table, and more. We also offer homemade sourdough bread, produce from our food forest, and eggs from our chickens. Swimming is also possible in the natural swimming pond, with prior arrangements. Interested in a guided walk through the Schulensbroek and Webbekomsbroek? Just ask. Everything you need to slow down a bit.
Our garden is an experiment that we use as naturally and ecologically as possible, with the aim of increasing biodiversity and, consequently, our own well-being. We also want to share it so it can be a source of peace, wonder, and inspiration for everyone.
Camping fits into that picture because it makes the garden accessible to you. 100% of the proceeds are reinvested in the surrounding area, planting trees and shrubs, spreading knowledge, and establishing local partnerships to make more projects like this possible.
We take care of the garden - the garden takes care of us.

Perfect for...

Nature lovers, cyclists passing through, hikers, couples, small families, etc.

Tent spot and swimming pond
Bring your own

  • Tent

Elderberry, Hill, Alder, Meadow, Pear, and Linden. Our pitches are nestled in greenery, spread throughout the grounds. They are all level, each with its own character, so you can choose between plenty of shade or less. The Elderberry pitch has a wooden deck where you can pitch your own tent or opt for a tepee.
We also have more spots than we rent out, so everyone can choose a spot and we can still guarantee sufficient privacy.
Cars are parked at the front, so it's about 70 to 150 meters to the pitches. A large wheelbarrow is available to transport your belongings to the pitch.
At these locations, use of the swimming pond is included (with good agreements).
