On our farm BoerdeHeij in Elim (Drenthe) we have turned an old barn into a super cute, complete and cozy camping cottage. It lies in a beautiful rural location between meadow and forest, away from traffic, but close to nature and (hobby) farm life. All facilities such as cooking, compost toilet and hot shower are in the cottage. The double bed is wonderfully spacious with comfortable mattresses. The camping cottage is created in a unique way, as sustainable as possible. The rooms are panelled with pallets and old floorboards, brocante panel doors and cabinet parts. Our creative improvisational skills were quite tested at times. Go "back to basic & off grid", unwind and make a campfire or fire up the garden fireplace in the cottage when it's a bit colder! Welcome to our cozy camping cottage if you're not looking for luxury but simplicity, sustainability, rural living and hospitality. Also open during the winter season!

Our place is located in Elim in southern Drenthe between Hoogeveen and Coevorden. Our lot is 300 meters from the public road and is adjacent to woods and meadows where you can have a nice walk around. We have created a paddock paradise for our 3 horses, complete with hills, nibble bushes and waterhole. There is also a large vegetable garden whose harvest we are happy to share with you. We try to house and garden our horses in such a natural way. So no tightly landscaped borders or neat stables here. Besides our 3 horses live here 2 cats and Guus our pot-bellied pig. You are also bound to meet the neighbors' chickens and the 2 peacocks that roam freely here. The immediate vicinity consists of many meadows and bushes and fifteen minutes walk from the larger forest and recreation area of Plan Schoonhoven. Here you can walk various routes and in fine weather take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool. The area is perfect for hiking, cycling and other excursions.
