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.

Last two weeks we enjoyed. Very friendly and helpful at the reception. Several interesting tips regarding the environment. Very spacious camping spot. And the new sanitary building left nothing to be desired. The indoor pool and indoor playground certainly added value. Great outdoor playground. The water splash park, part of the large outdoor pool, was opened due to the beautiful weather. Thank you and we will definitely be back.

Afgelopen twee weken hebben wij genoten. Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam bij de receptie. Diverse interessante tips v.w.b. de omgeving. Zeer ruime kampeerplek. En het nieuwe sanitair gebouw liet niets te wensen over. Het binnenzwembad en binnenspeeltuin hadden zeer zeker een meerwaarde. Grote buitenspeeltuin. Het waterspleshpark, onderdeel van het grote buitenzwembad, werd geopend i.v.m. het prachtige weer. Bedankt en wij komen zeker terug.

What a top campsite, lots to do for kids yet small scale. Nice playground, water fun Spray Park & slides, pool outside and inside. Kids had a great time with grandpa & grandma. Then grandpa & grandma booked another week without grandkids because the area is very nice for both bike rides and walks.

Wat een topcamping, heel veel te doen voor kids en toch kleinschalig. Mooie speeltuin, waterpret Spray Park & glijbanen, zwembad buiten en binnen. Kids hebben zich heel goed geamuseerd met opa & oma. Vervolgens hebben opa & oma nog een weekje zonder kleinkids bijgeboekt omdat de omgeving heel mooi is voor zowel fietstochtjes als wandelingen.
