Camping on the "Green Island"

We live on a beautiful farm property spanning nearly 2 hectares, with horses, dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, right in the middle of the countryside. This includes our natural, wild park with a diverse mix of trees, fruit trees, and many quiet spots to relax. Our farm lies like a small green island, completely surrounded by fields and far away from traffic noise and dense development.

We make our green island available to self-sufficient campers. However, if needed, we can help out with water, electricity, or other necessities upon request.

The camping area is located on a large meadow at the back of our park. Here you’ll find plenty of space, peace, and nature right outside your RV door or tent. You’re also welcome to bring horses, donkeys, or other grass-eating animals. Thanks to our own stable and existing infrastructure, the conditions here are ideal. Our ponies also love visitors and, by arrangement, are happy to be groomed and petted. :-)

Depending on the season, you’re welcome to help yourself to the many fruits on our property. Raspberries, blackberries, red currants, gooseberries, strawberries, elderberries, as well as apples, pears, plums, mirabelle plums, and quinces provide delicious natural snacks straight from the tree or bush from early summer well into fall.

If you’d like, you can explore the grounds or spend a cozy evening by the campfire. Firewood from the farm is available.

The surrounding area also offers numerous opportunities for excursions and activities. The Große Torfmoor is perfect for walks, birdwatching, and experiencing nature. The Wiehengebirge mountains, with their hiking and biking trails, are also very close by. The historic city of Minden, with its waterway junction, old town, and many sights, is within easy reach.

A special highlight in the summer is the Mindener Wald swimming lake, which is only about 5 kilometers away and can be easily reached by bike. If you need help with your bike in an emergency, we’re happy to lend a hand ;-)

Also worth a visit is the Gernheim Glass Museum with its historic glassworks!

Other pets are also welcome by arrangement. Just ask us—a lot is possible. :-)

One more quick note: Our farm is home to pond frogs and tree frogs, which like to make their presence known, especially on warm summer evenings. Although the camping area is a bit further away, the frog chorus may still be audible depending on the season. It’s definitely a special—and loud—nature experience on our farm.
