    Since we were still looking for a break during the Easter vacations close to home, we made a booking through this campsite in the Antwerp Kempen. Upon arrival we were given clear information about the location of the caravan. The site can be entered with a barrier. The key to the caravan contains a badge that allows you to open and close the barrier. It is also allowed to leave your car at the caravan. The caravan was neatly cleaned upon arrival. A small package of dish soap and cleaning cloth were waiting for you. Note: Be sure to bring a kitchen towel as well as Children's cutlery. Also need a sheet set for each (Bed parents 160x200 and two times 90x200). Pillows are rather soft, but it works. We slept well there. The grounds themselves do need a little love. For example, the auditorium is overgrown, the athletic field could use a lick of paint and the accommodations for campers are run down. What can be said, however, is that it is maintained and neat. You can also play petanque here, swim in the summer. There is a relaxation room but it could really get a make over. Was a musty room. Been a long time since I saw a working VCR. A very extensive library though, so those who like to read will definitely get their money's worth here. We also had drinks on the terrace of the brasserie at very reasonable prices. Beautiful and well maintained playground. You can also charge your bike here provided you bring your bike charger. A table tennis table is also available. There is also a walking/wheelchair trail of about 3 kilometers around the brasserie. Excellent to do with young children. You can also do this with a scooter. We found this stay well worthwhile and we enjoyed it. We are considering coming back again or trying another stay from this organization!

    Gezien we nog op zoek waren naar een rustpauze in de paasvakantie dichtbij huis, eens een boeking gemaakt via deze camping in de Antwerpse Kempen. Bij aankomst kregen we duidelijke informatie over de ligging van de caravan. Het terrein is te betreden met een slagboom. De sleutel van de caravan bevat een badge waarmee je de slagboom kan openen en sluiten. Het is ook toegestaan om je wagen aan de caravan te laten staan. De caravan was bij aankomst netjes gepoetst. Een klein pakketje met afwasmiddel en poetsdoek lagen klaar. Let op: Neem zeker een keukenhanddoek mee alsook Kinderbestek. Ook voor ieder een lakenset is nodig (Bed ouders 160x200 en twee keer 90x200). Kussens zijn nogal zacht, maar het lukt wel. We hebben er goed geslapen. Het terrein zelf heeft wel een beetje liefde nodig. Zo is het auditorium overgroeid, het sportterrein kan een likje verf gebruiken en zijn de accommodaties voor kampeerders afgeleefd. Wat wel gezegd kan worden is dat het wel onderhouden wordt en netjes is. Je kan hier ook petanque spelen, in de zomer zwemmen. Er is een relax ruimte maar die kan echt een make over krijgen. Was een muffe ruimte. Lang geleden dat ik nog een werkende videorecorder zag. Wel een zeer uitgebreide bibliotheek, dus wie graag leest komt hier zeker aan zijn trekken. Verder hebben we ook gedronken op het terras van de brasserie aan zeer schappelijke prijzen. Mooie en goed onderhouden speeltuin. Je kan hier ook je fiets opladen mits je de oplader van je fiets mee hebt. Een tafeltennis tafel is ook aanwezig. Rond de brasserie loopt ook een wandel/rolstoelpad van ongeveer 3 kilometer. Uitstekend te doen met jonge kinderen. Dit kan je ook met een step doen. Wij vonden dit verblijf zeker de moeite waard en we hebben ervan genoten. We overwegen om nog eens terug te komen of een ander verblijf van deze organisatie uit te proberen!
