Would we like to come and sleep under one roof with three goats? You understand our answer because no, you are never too old for that, but thank you, you are never too old. And off we went. After an hour and a half drive from Amsterdam, we receive a warm, rural welcome from one beautiful Pippi-Longstocking-like farm after another in picturesque Drenthe. Meadows, monumental farms, water, cows and horses - what do we actually do in the city? Located in the middle of these fields d'Olde Kamp where six traditional turf huts have been converted into holiday homes. The comforts of hot water, a bathroom and nice mattresses are present, but otherwise it is fairly back to basic: with-without TV and sleeping in a box bed. How romantic! The fireplace can be lit and the wine can be opened. One of these houses, and we had the honor, has a real goat stable at the back of the dining table. With a glass wall in between, because the smell has to remain somewhat pleasant, you can watch goats all day and all night. And that's fun.

From the mini holiday park you can walk straight into the woods and that is really beautiful. d'Olde Kamp is located Dwingelerveld National Park and whether you like short walks or hours of wandering, it is possible. Bring your dogs and go. There isn't much to see in the area, but that's what we come for, right? There is a nice bakery, plenty traditional restaurants (the chowder is ready!) and we also recommend bringing your own peanut butter, tea and wine so you can curl up in front of the fireplace after the walk. The turf huts can accommodate 5 people. d'Olde Kamp also has two larger holiday homes for rent and there are about 40 camping pitches. Very nice for the new winter camping. When it is winter-winter, it is snowy and frozen beautiful here. In spring and summer it is of course wonderful to be in the warm outdoors. But even on a gray and drizzly day, we really enjoyed the peace, falling leaves and hot chocolate in autumn. When can we go again? D'Olde Kamp - Facebook - Instagram
