    Too bad the cows went out to pasture two hours earlier than mentioned in the newspaper.

    We definitely come here several times a month in the summer with the kids, they enjoy a craft ice cream and play in the large playground and for us a rest with a cup of coffee with fresh pastries. Highly recommended for families anyway!

    Wij komen hier zeker in de zomer meerdere keren per maand met de kinderen naartoe, zij lekker een ambachtelijk ijsje en spelen in de grote speeltuin en voor ons even rust met een kopje koffie met vers gebak. Sowieso voor gezinnen een echte aanrader!

    Only know this place as a playground and ice cream farm not as a campground. During bike rides in the area, this is a nice place to rest and the Kids can play and possibly enjoy the animals present. The ice cream is also highly recommended.

    Ken deze plek alleen als speeltuin en ijsboerderij niet als camping. Tijdens fietstochten in de buurt is dit een mooie plek om te rusten en de Kids kunnen dan heerlijk spelen en eventueel genieten van de aanwezige dieren. Het ij is ook een echte aanrader.
