Kayaking on the Semois

The Semois is perfect for accessible kayak trips through a peaceful, green river valley. Start, for example, in Poupehan, Botassart or Bouillon and paddle downstream past pebble beaches, riverside meadows and forested slopes. Along the way, take a break or let children splash around in shallow sections. Many rental companies offer a shuttle service, allowing you to return to your starting point with ease. Tip: in high season, choose a morning start for more peace on the water, or go later in the day for warm light and long shadows in the valley. Bring a dry bag, water shoes, and afterwards relax on a terrace by the quay in Bouillon. Active, varied and suitable for almost all ages.

Combine your visit with a walk through the surrounding nature reserve or stop in a nearby village for lunch. Architecture enthusiasts will appreciate the mix of Cistercian simplicity and serene gardens; families enjoy exploring the ruins and browsing in the herb garden. Head back to Bouillon in the late afternoon for dinner by the river—a perfect combination of culture, nature, and culinary indulgence.

    New camper village. Friendly and helpful reception at the reception Clean sanitary facilities hot good showers. We had a good shadow place with this heat nice. Clean on pebbles. Nice footpath along the Semois to center 1.5 km Nice brasserie / cafe with nice menu, sandwiches ordering possible store with all the most necessary but self-scanning what again for some will be abused not to pay Now the lesser points. Close to the road so much noise of accelerating motos what even though moto lover disturbed. Large chalets under you so larger groups what 2 of 3 until after 0.00 h for quite a lot of noise leide. Autos can 24 /24 on and off. You can campers next to camper parking a on parking and take free electricity and sanitary / shower use because no code. Which so happened 2th night,Which should not be possible since we pay enough for it. . As well as no playground.so children play between campers which is sometimes irritating if you are looking for peace. Still small teething problems as 3rd night no shower because no water in plumbing. Alsook no hot water and table to sanitary to do your dishes what almost everyone does anyway so suck without table to put your stuff. This makes me decide that this will be a one-time thing for us. What a pity because it is a nice place if you like walking and cycling.

    Nieuwe camperplaats . Vriendelijke en behulpzame ontvangst aan de receptie Proper sanitair warme goeie douches. Wij hadden een goeie schaduwplaats met deze warmte leuk. Proper op keien. Leuk wandelpad langs de semois naar centrum 1.5 km Mooie brasserie /cafe met leuke kaart , broodjes bestellen mogelijk winkeltje met al het hoogst nodige wel zelfscan wat ook weer voor sommige misbruikt gaat worden om niet te betalen Nu de mindere punten . Dicht bij de baan dus veel lawaai van optrekkende motos wat zelf al moto liefhebber stoorde. Grote chalets onder je dus grotere groepen wat 2 vd 3 tot na 0.00 h voor redelijk veel lawaai leide. Autos kunnen 24 /24 op en af rijden. Je kan campers naast camperparking a op parking zetten en gratis stroom nemen en sanitair / douche gebruiken wegens geen code. Wat dus ook gebeurde 2 e nacht ,Wat niet zou mogen kunnen aangezien wij er genoeg voor betalen. . alsook nog geen speeltuin.dus kinderen spelen tussen campers wat soms irritant is als je rust zoekt. Nog kleine kinderziektes als 3e avond geen douche wegens geen water in sanitair. Alsook geen warm water en tafeltje aan sanitair om je afwas te doen wat bijna iedereen toch doet dus sukkelen zonder tafel om je spullen te zetten. Dit doet mij besluiten dat het voor ons hier eenmalig zal zijn. Wat jammer is want is toch een leuke plaats als je van wandel en fietsen houd

    As you can see from the map, there's no access to the sanitary facilities when you're in a tent. Beautiful surroundings but services could be improved.

    Comme on peut le voir sur le plan il n y a pas d accès aux sanitaires quand on est en tente. Très bel environnement mais services perfectibles.

    We spent 2 nights at camper site A. Beautiful, spacious place, neat and accessible place to discharge gray and black water and also ample plumbing. Good base for beautiful walks. Will definitely come back again. Small tips: hot water to wash dishes would be very nice, as well as a sink for a hand wash. Both things that camper owners greatly appreciate. Good luck with the further development of this beautiful park!

    Wij hebben 2 nachten op camperplaats A gestaan. Mooie, ruime plek, keurige en toegankelijke plek om grijs en zwart water te lozen en ook nog eens ruim voldoende sanitair. Goede uitvalsbasis voor prachtige wandelingen. Komen zeker nog eens terug. Kleine tips: warm water om af te wassen zou heel fijn zijn, net als een wasbak voor een handwasje. Beide zaken die camperaars zeer waarderen. Succes met de verdere ontwikkeling van dit fraaie park!

    Simply incredible 😍 a place to take your breath away! A calm that feels good, a view over the Semois, we took accommodation for two people there's just what you need, the bedding is comfortable and after a day of hiking it's essential. A really well thought-out safety barrier on the terrace! We'll be back

    Tout simplement incroyable 😍 un endroit à couper le souffle ! Un calme qui fait du bien, une vue sur la semois, nous avons pris un logement pour deux personnes il y a juste ce qu’il faut, la literie est confortable et après une journée de randonnée c’est essentiel. Le plus une barrière de sécurité sur la terrasse vraiment bien pensé ! C’est que nous reviendrons

    A lovely new village with comfortable, highly functional rooms. Friendly staff. Small store and breakfast that can be ordered the day before. The restaurant was our only major drawback.

    Un chouette village tout neuf avec des chambres confortables et très fonctionnelles. Personnel accueillant. Petite boutique et petit déjeuner qu'on peut commander la veille. Le resto était notre seul gros bémol.

    We rented a six-person cabin for two nights and had an absolutely wonderful stay. The nature, scenery, and fresh air were truly amazing. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and well organized. We spent a fantastic weekend there and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway away from the busy city life — a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature.
