Farm camping has been on the rise for years, and a summer discount campaign from FarmCamps puts that trend in the spotlight again. What exactly is farm camping, who is it for, and what does a deal like this mean for your holiday budget? Here's a rundown.
What is FarmCamps and farm camping?
FarmCamps is a Dutch network of small-scale campsites located at working farms. Instead of pitching among hundreds of neighbours at a large holiday park, you stay at a quiet spot beside a farmer, often with views over the land, animals nearby and plenty of room for your tent or caravan.
Farm camping (also called 'camping at the farm') is all about simplicity and authenticity: a natural setting, personal contact with the owner and the feeling of truly getting away from the crowds. It's a style of holiday that has grown sharply in popularity in recent years.
The summer deal: FarmCamps chips in
According to Campingtrend, FarmCamps is running a summer discount campaign this season in which the network helps pay towards your camping holiday. The idea is simple: part of your stay is subsidised, making a few nights at the farm even more accessible.
The exact size of the discount, the valid dates and the conditions can vary by location and booking period. If you want to take advantage of it, check the official FarmCamps website for the current campaign terms before you book.
Why farm camping suits families
For families with children, a farm campsite is often a perfect fit. Children can see animals up close, have space to play outdoors, and the calm, manageable layout gives parents peace of mind.
The atmosphere is relaxed too: no rigid entertainment programme, just freedom, fresh air and a natural setting. That makes farm camping ideal for anyone looking for a laid-back, affordable family holiday.
What a discount means for your budget
For budget-conscious campers, a summer deal can be the difference between going away or not. A discount lowers the threshold to book a few extra nights or plan a second short break.
Bear in mind that the real saving depends on the terms: minimum stays, valid periods and any exclusions. Work out in advance what a stay will actually cost you net, so there are no surprises.
Finding and comparing farm campsites
Farm camping isn't unique to the Netherlands: across Europe you'll find small-scale, rural spots at farms, vineyards and in the countryside. To discover these quiet campsites, a map where you can search by region and filter by amenities helps a lot.
On the Ovisola map you can place rural and small-scale campsites side by side and compare them by type, location and amenities, so you can easily find a spot that suits your family and your budget.
