The owner is responsible for cleaning up what his or her pet leaves behind. At the reception you will find information about the off-leash areas in the area known to us.
Guests and visitors

Gazebo /Bower
There is a gazebo in the middle of the site near the sanitary building, this gazebo is intended to provide shelter for tent campers when it rains, but of course the gazebo is accessible to everyone. Next to the gazebo we have two jeu de boules courts and a table tennis table. Jue de boules balls, table tennis bats and balls can be found under the gazebo. You can also use the possibility to barbecue on our stone BBQ, you can pick up the grill for this at the reception. You can also make a campfire in front of the gazebo.

Nature camping
So what is a nature camping of nature camping site ?
A nature campsite is a campsite in the middle of nature. We are not to be confused with a naturist campsite and therefore just wear clothes. We are also NOT affiliated with an organization such as the Groene Koepel.
We are not your average campsite, where your pitch is drawn with strait lines, often with the help of hedges. No, we use a piece to forest to camp under the trees. We work with place indications that are designated by us, but no place is exactly measured and demarcated. We are not a boxes camping site, but by using groves and other natural resources, we are a very playful and, above all, natural-looking campsite. However, you can pass on your wishes and we will do our best to meet them.
We are a campsite for everyone, from young to old and for all walks of life. We are a nature campsite, but we are not a quiet campsite, nor a quiet area. A lot is allowed, as long as you also take your neighbours into account and do not disturb the natural environment of our campsite.
Camping on a nature campsite or nature camping site is camping in its purest form. It is camping under the trees, among the greenery.
Compared to most other campsites, our site distinguishes itself on the following points:
Natural location
Our grounds are located in one of the most beautiful landscapes, far from the hustle and bustle. Thanks to the aerial photos from Google Maps, you can see that these are not empty words. Sometimes you literally can’t see the campsite for the trees! The terrain is almost dark at night, so a good flashlight is a necessity.
Small scale but spacious
We are modest in size, but you can always be sure that every camper will get a spacious pitch. It is precisely this extra space that gives more peace and privacy. Even during the peak periods during the holidays, every effort is made to offer all guests as much space as possible.
Simple amenities
Don’t expect bathrooms with whirlpool baths, but do expect toilets and running water. We just have a hot shower. There are also extra facilities such as possibilities to make a fire or a bad weather facility.
Child friendly
Children also feel at home at our nature campsite. Often simple facilities such as a sandbox, swing or rampoline are sufficient. But the biggest playground is the natural forest, where there is plenty to discover.
Respect for your rest
Nature campers are generally peace seekers. We try to keep the peace as much as possible, but we are not a quiet area, so you may experience more noise one day than the other. To guarantee peace and safety at the campsite, we have drawn up regulations to ensure that everyone’s stay is completely satisfactory. Read the full camping regulations here.
In short, we respect nature and think carefully about our actions, we keep the peace as best as possible, but we enjoy our surroundings in the presence of friends and family.
