Here's more to do at FarmCamps De Smulhoeve

There are a lot of horses and ponies at FarmCamps De Smulhoeve, but there is certainly more to experience. You can race around on the go-karts or play hide-and-seek in the hay barn. The animals in the cuddle barn also like to be pampered. Yes, there are even more different animals running around the farm: how about alpacas, goats, pigs and chickens?

Want to get out of the yard for once? You can cycle to the Efteling and the Loonse and Drunense Dunes are even within walking distance! Also nearby: the Beekse Bergen and the Biesbosch, one of the most beautiful places in the Netherlands. You can take a boat trip and spot unusual birds or go fly-fishing.
