Villages nearby
About a 30-minute drive from the glamping is Thorn. This picturesque village is also called the "White town" because of the white facades of the houses and monuments. In the village you walk through narrow streets, enjoy the beautiful town hall and visit the impressive abbey church. There are cozy terraces where you can enjoy a snack or drink. Another town nearby is Maaseik, about 20 miles away. This historic town on the Meuse has a rich history and that can be seen in the beautiful old buildings. The museum of the Van Eyck brothers is worth a visit. Maaseik also has several nice stores and terraces where you can enjoy a Belgian beer.
Active day on the Meuse
After a 20-minute drive, you reach the Meuse River. And how much fun is it to discover this piece of nature not from the banks, but from the water? At several places it is possible to rent a kayak, canoe or raft and discover Rivierpark Maasvallei. Spot Galloway cattle or wild horses during your trip, and enjoy the green surroundings. A fun and active outing for the whole family!
Imagine yourself in Japan
Are you making a trip to Hasselt? Then don't skip the Japanese garden! After a half-hour drive, you step out into a green world full of beautiful trees, bridges and streams. Watch a tea demonstration or take a course, calligraphy or origami. On Sundays and holidays, you can take a guided tour of the garden. That way you get to experience a bit of Japan, but from Belgium.

We really enjoyed our stay at Camping Wilhelm Tell in Opglabbeek. The welcome was perfect, and the friendly staff explained all the campsite rules to us. The pitch for the motorhome was well thought out and quiet. The swimming pool and jacuzzi were great for relaxing, and then there was the snack bar for a quick meal. All in all, perfect!

Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjour au camping Wilhelm Tell à Opglabbeek. L'accueil a été parfait, le personnel sympathique nous a bien expliqué tout le règlement du camping. L'emplacement pour le motorhome était bien pensé et au calme. La piscine et la bain à bulles étaient agréables pour se détendre et ensuite le snack pour un repas vite fait. Parfait !

We have taken our son out of his lessons and will never return. The way the owners treat paying customers is completely unacceptable — rude, aggressive, and shockingly unprofessional. Despite always paying and simply accompanying my son, we were spoken to with hostility and made to feel unwelcome every time. The atmosphere is tense and unpleasant, and the lack of basic respect toward customers is astonishing. Avoid this place if you expect to be treated decently.
