Sleeping in a gypsy wagon

In the past, fairgoers and circus performers traveled the country in a shepherds hut or caravan. Today, these authentic shepherds huts are no longer used for this purpose. Many shepherds huts have been converted into special accommodations that you can book to sleep in. The pipowagens are often on a campsite, vacation park or as bed and breakfast in people's gardens. Sleeping in a shepherds hut or caravan is often very special. They are actually completely furnished houses on wheels. Experience what it is like to sleep in a shepherds hut and rent one of the accommodations below for a nice weekend or a short holiday.

Frequently asked questions

What is a shepherds hut?

A shepherds hut (officially caravan) is basically a dwelling on wheels. The name pipowagen comes from the days when the wagons were used by traveling carnival operators and circus performers. Because of the cheerful colors of the wagons, they were called shepherds huts. Despite the limited space, the shepherds huts are generally fully furnished with 1 or more bedrooms, a kitchen and bathroom. For this reason, shepherds huts are very suitable to rent for a nice weekend or (short) holiday.

How much does it cost to rent a shepherds hut?

The price of renting a shepherds hut can vary widely. This depends on several factors, such as the location, size and facilities of the shepherds hut. Of course, the season (high or low season) in which you want to rent the shepherds hut also affects the price. You can often rent a small shepherds hut for about €50 to €75 per night. For a larger pipowagen or one equipped with more luxury, the cost can be as much as €150 to €200 per night.

What is the difference between a shepherds hut and a caravan?

A shepherds hut and a caravan are both accommodations on wheels, but there is an important difference between the two. A shepherds hut has a traditional atmosphere and is usually used for as a unique form of glamping (glamourous camping). They are often rented to vacationers and offer a quaint and special experience due to their nostalgic look. A trailer, on the other hand, is a modern "permanent" home on wheels. They often have a functional layout and are intended as a permanent residence for the owners.
