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.

14 dagen op deze camping doorgebracht. Fantastisch zwembad voor alle leeftijden, grote plaatsen en zeer schoon sanitair. Betalen voor de douches gaat per kaart, die je bij aankomst voor 25€ aanschaft ( plus 25€ borg). Wij kwamen daar mee uit en hadden geld over. Je kunt ook kiezen voor luxer sanitair, zelfs een bubbelbad. Daar betaal je dan wel meer voor. De prijzen voor ijsjes etc bij het zwembad waren wel vrij extreem helaas.

Deze camping blinkt uit in één ding: gasten het gevoel geven dat ze niet welkom zijn. Het personeel is bot, ongeduldig en snauwt je af bij het minste of geringste. Van gastvrijheid is geen sprake – eerder het tegenovergestelde. De regels zijn er om je het leven zuur te maken, streng en meedogenloos gehandhaafd. Vriendelijkheid? Onbestaande. Je wordt niet ontvangen, maar gecontroleerd. Vakantiegevoel? Vergeet het! Alsof het gedoe nog niet groot genoeg is, betaal je ook nog extra voor basisdingen zoals douchen en afwassen. Dat tikt flink aan en maakt je verblijf niet alleen onaangenaam, maar ook onnodig duur! Een plek waar je vooral blij van wordt als je weer mag vertrekken! Geen aanrader! Samengevat: Het is een vakantieplek die je laat verlangen naar je werkplek!

Deplorable welcome. Access to the toilets and kitchen is by card for a deposit of 50 euros. For 2 cards it's 100 euros! No explanation of how the card works. No hot water without it. But if you leave it in the slot provided for washing up, 15 euros are deducted from your deposit! Stealing...

Accueil déplorable. L'accès aux sanitaires et à la cuisine se fait avec une carte contre une caution de 50 euros. Pour 2 cartes c'est 100 euros ! Aucune explication sur le fonctionnement de cette carte. Pas d'eau chaude sans elle. Mais si on la laisse dans la rainure prévue à cette effet pour faire la vaisselle, on vous retient 15 euros sur la caution !!! Du vol...
