What visitors say
This charming self-picking farm and associated campsite consistently receives high praise for its tranquil, natural setting and welcoming atmosphere. Visitors frequently highlight the exceptionally friendly and attentive owners, Herma and Johannes, who foster a pleasant, relaxed environment, often going out of their way to assist guests and engage with children, particularly around the farm’s horses.
The location is a perfect retreat for those seeking peace and nature, boasting picturesque, expansive views of the Frisian landscape. It’s also conveniently located within easy cycling distance of Sneek, offering a balance of rustic charm and accessibility to town amenities. The small-scale campsite features generously sized pitches that blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings, with some nestled amongst low bushes.
Families find the farm particularly appealing, with plenty of activities for children, including pony riding, go-karts, and playing in a hay barn. Guests can also enjoy gathering fresh produce from the pick-your-own garden and food forest. A handy farm shop sells a variety of delicious local and homemade products, such as fresh eggs, cheese, wine, and craft beers, with some guests enjoying wood-fired pizza nights.
While the sanitary facilities are generally described as simple but clean, some reviews suggest they could benefit from expansion or updating, noting they are housed in an older building and lack a chemical toilet disposal point. A few guests also mentioned narrow access lanes for caravans, uneven pitches, and recommended bringing mosquito repellent. However, these minor points do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with many guests expressing a strong desire to return for another peaceful, nature-focused experience with genuine hospitality.
