Free in nature, away from traffic and other city noises with beautiful views of forest and grassland, at BoerdeHeij you will experience the ultimate relaxing outdoor feeling. Luxury private camping, but not on a campsite but with all facilities for yourself. The bell-tent with its own (heated) mobile homes (new in 2025!) are on the edge of our yard in a natural, green environment. In our spacious bell-tent you will find a comfortable double bed of 160 x 200 cm, made up of two extra thick mattresses (including electric blankets). Enjoy the beautiful view: from your bed you can see hares, deer, and birds of prey crossing the grassland on their way to the woods.You can choose how you want to cook: in the mobile homes on a 3-burner gas stove or outside, where you can cook adventurously on a self-stoked wood fire in the firebowl. Wood is available and extra wood can be bought from us. In less weather, the mobile homes offer a cozy and heated place to eat and relax.

Nature and surroundings

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.

    Lovely place, peace, space and nature abound. Nice people, store with beautiful products from the beautiful vegetable garden. Fire is allowed! Lovely mattress in the tent.

    This was truly a special camping experience but without the stress of bringing and setting up everything yourself. The sleeping tent is beautifully and luxuriously furnished, the beds are comfortable. There is an electric blanket (which you don't need in the summer but was very secretly nice) and lots of extra blankets and pillows. There are regular electrical outlets. The kitchen tent is also fully equipped: nothing is missing. The outdoor shower is fine and the composting toilet that is just in the same tent takes some getting used to, but is also completely fine. But mostly we spent a lot of time outside. Chilling in the hammock, at the picnic table, in the chairs and on our brought rug. We split wood, made fire, made food over the fire (the pancake package is also highly recommended), sharpened our own sticks for marshmallows. Back to basics but without missing a thing. We would love to come back again!

    The tents are in a quiet and secluded area in the garden so you have a lot of privacy. The horses have a lot of freedom and occasionally come walking by, very cozy! There is a nice lake nearby where you can bike with the bikes to borrow. Nearby you can make beautiful walks in the woods (bring anti-mosquito spray!) And along the meadows. Just not 5 stars because we very accidentally had chosen a weekend where there was motocross during the day and in the evening and at night loud music. So not very quiet for us, but I'm sure it's generally quiet:)
