Belgium campsites

[Bennybristol]

Dear All,

Some advice if you please. Checked out the travel threads but cannot see anything about camping in Belgium. Looking for some recommendations for our family of four during our May half term holiday. Surely some families have stopped in Belgium and not just ploughed through to Germany or Holland....

Look forward to reading your thoughts.

Cheers

Benny

We did a tour last Easter. There’s a thread here. Hope it helps or just ask.

The Ardennes are beautiful and perfect narrow roads for the Cali.

Nice to hear you are thinking of actually visiting Belgium ,the most stories i read on this forum UK travelers just travel thru and rarely use campsites as they are on the way to a diffrent European destinatian and just arrived from the Ferry/tunnel and want to travel ahead.
There sure are campsites in Belgium , lots are near the coast and in the Ardenne region.
We acutally never camp in our own country a lot so i can not give much reccomendation.
Sure there are some threads from others who did use campsites in Belgium .
City's like Brugge , Gent , Antwerp all have camping close to town.
Using the sites like ACSI or other campingsearch-websites will sure give locations.

I think we’re going back to Belgium this Easter, great country to travel in. Will follow this thread with interest.

Loved Belgium, great people, lovely country. It was a big surprise and so close to Calais, if the tunnel was cheaper I'd visit a lot more.

Memling is great for Bruges, we also stayed at a site near Antwerp that is in the city centre, a bit tired but location was great (as long as there isnt an open air dance party in the park).

Ghent I think would be our next place to visit when we next return.

Great Question Benny, that's exactly what we're doing ;-)

 

[G&Ts]

We had a great couple of weeks in the Ardennes last June. It's a beautiful region with loads to do like kayaking, visiting the Bastogne war museum, getting an adrenalin fix at Adventure Valley Durbuy or chilling at Thermes de Spa.

As for campsites, we really liked Campsite Ile de Faigneul in Poupehan, Camping Sandaya Parc la Clusure near Rochefort, Campsite Domaine de Dieupart near Aywaille and Corsendonk Camping Spa d'Or near Spa (all found on ACSI).

 

[Bennybristol]

Hi All, thanks very much for taking the time to reply. Once again I have received great information to help plan my travels. We have settled on Memling Brugge for a couple of nights on route to the Ardennes. We have them booked Parc la Clusure for 4 nights. I’ll let you know how we get on. #stilllivingthedream

So, for now all the campsites are still shut in Belgium, but I am also reliably informed that there is currently no limit on how far you can drive to undertake you chosen 'sporting activity'. In other words, the police are effectively no-longer running checks other than in hot-spots (the coast for example) and at the borders. I am thinking of heading one hour or two hours south of Brussels, leaving Friday morning, for a full day walk somewhere nice. Then, depending on how things look, i might accidentally sleep overnight if I can find a totally isolated spot. (and there are a fair few of them in south of Belgium.) Any super stealthy places to recommend anyone?

I'll probably use park4night, or just find a small track somewhere.

STAY AT HOME UNTIL THE ALL CLEAR ! DO NOT GIVE US ALL A BAD NAME

 

[babble]

I'm in Belgium, and as i said, there is no restriction on day-trips for sporting activities. I guess you could say "go home before midnight!". An option I am considering, but I don't think the reputation-issues for campers are quite the same here as in the UK.

Take noting but pics, leave nothing but footprints, pollute nothing but a bit of breathing air

Travel advice from Belgium
Belgium has a ban on travel for its own citizens for all international travel, with the exception of essential journeys.

Don't think you should go camping there while Belgium still has a ban on international travel for its own citizens...

 

[babble]

I live here and i am not going to be travelling internationally. We are allowed to drive to the countryside to walk, with no limit on driving within Belgium, so i guess I could do that, then come back here at night, so just do long day trips. Let's see.

You might finish that nice bottle in the fridge after your 'hiking', and then act responsible, and sleep it out,... ;-)
I mean, as long as we stay responsible, and wise, no? Way better than going to lay down in a reserved (!) 2M2 beach area, amongst thousands of others, like what's going to happen at our coast here. Is the campervan not getting called the perfect "Mobile Isolation Suite"? So I just, as always, will avoid camping sites.

 

[babble]

you posted a photo of you by a lake here once Auberg-ine, with a place name, and i found it from google satelite + street view, and went there with my kids recently and had a lovely day out. (before the lock-down!). So thanks for that tip!

But not the TS, who wanted to go from the UK to camp in Belgium during the term break.
