    Kampplaats was ruim. Voor de 3 kampplaatsen is er 1 erg ruime en propere toilet- en douchevoorziening. Zeer net en comfortabel. We maakten gebruik van het restaurant van de lodge voor avondeten en het ontbijt. Mooi zicht vanaf daar.

This is the perfect place to enjoy nature and get away from the city noise. You will be able to enjoy river view, walk around the farm or meet the animals. Cars stay on the north side of the property. It's important for us to keep nature and to not disturb it. The farm has a lot of different animals that you can see and also touch. We have goats, chicken, and dogs. All are very friendly. The goats are moving freely in the farm during the day. If you love birds, our farm is an incredible place to observe them. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our nature farm.
