OUR TEAM
OUR STORY
Paul and Janine have been the 7th generation at Groene Camping In de Polder and BIO In the Polder since January 1, 2018. Cora, Janine’s mother started a minicaming in the farm’s old orchard in the 1990s.
It soon became apparent that guests knew how to find our spot on the Groenendijk in Lage Zwaluwe. In April 2004, Green Camping In the Polder welcomed its first guests.
Paul and Janine welcome you!
Our team
Paul and Janine run the organic agricultural and recreational farm together and welcome you! In the low season, you will be welcomed by Paul or Janine at the reception desk. On weekends and high season, they are supported by Marit and Eline. Marit has gained a lot of work experience over the past two years. She started her studies in horticulture and arable farming at HAS den Bosch this school year. Eline, the daughter of Paul and Janine, was brought up on it. She, too, will welcome you hospitably.
MEET THE TEAM
Janine Keller - den Dunnen
Function
As of January 1, 2018, the 7th generation is at the helm, something we are proud of. Since 2015, the campground and farm (suckler cows, bulls, arable and nut orchard) have been converted to organic operations. Our challenge in farming is to get the cycles closed as far as possible. Curious? during your stay at our campground, we are open to questions. Hope to see you at Groene camping ‘In de Polder’
Paul den Dunnen
Function
My passion is organic farming. For me it is not only making sure that the vegetables grow well and responsibly but also that the animals; bulls, suckler cows and sheeps have a good time. The cows (suckler cows with calves and bulls) walk in the pastures around the farm. I like to talk about the ins and outs of the farm. If you see me walking somewhere feel free to ask a question. See you at Groene camping ‘In de Polder’
Eline den Dunnen
Function
I am 12 years old and already quite familiar with the ins and outs of the farm and camping. The sheeps on the farm are mine. My hobbies are ice skating and rollerblading.
Since 2021, I have been baking delicious hot rolls for guests at the campsite in the morning, on weekends and school vacations, except Wednesdays
Jochem den Dunnen
Function
In memoriam, On October 30, 2022 we had to let go of each other with a lot of love, sadness and full of pride. On his ninth birthday, we had a beautiful, impressive farewell together and he was buried next to Grandpa Henk. We are grateful to our boyfriend for all he taught us. Jochem’s life motto is: “embrace life and enjoy“.
Marit
Function
I have enjoyed working in this team since spring 2022. At that time I was in my final year of pre-university education, meanwhile I went to the HAS in den Bosch and took the Horticulture and Arable Farming course there.
The variation in the work at the campsite and farm makes it extra fun for me to work here. There is a good chance that you will encounter me during the holidays.
Cora Keller
Function
28 years ago, I took the initiative to expand our arable farm with a campground. Thirteen years ago, together with my husband Henk, I exchanged the house on the farm for a new home 150m further towards the village of Lage Zwaluwe. The upper floor of the house is equipped for B&B, there are 2 rooms each with its own bathroom and a kitchenette for common use. Interested? check out bnbindepolder.nl
Henk Keller

In memoriam,
Like our daughter Janine, I was born on the farm and continued my parents’ arable farm. I am proud of Paul and Janine how they continue the farm and campground. I love the outdoors.
Henk passed away peacefully from us on July 20, 2019 amidst his loved ones
