Strolling through Ghent

This glamping in East Flanders is less than 5 km from the lively city of Ghent. A city is full of history, old canals, medieval masterpieces, cozy bars, and restaurants. Stroll the streets and discover the beautiful buildings, graffiti, and street art. Discovering Ghent from the water, during a cruise on the Leie, definitely belongs on the list of things not to miss. The Graslei and the Korenlei are the oldest and perhaps the most beautiful and cozy places in Ghent. Here you will find many nice catering establishments. Of course, tasting the real Ghent Noses should not be missed. You can find the best ones in one of the carts on the Groentenmarkt.

There are special bird-watching huts along the way where you can spot the most beautiful birds undisturbed.

    Too loud: Main road and major construction work on the CP from 7 am... Too expensive for that! Better to close until the site is ready.

    Zu laut: Hauptstraße und größere Bauarbeiten auf dem CP ab 7 Uhr… Dafür zu teuer! Dann lieber schließen bis der Platz fertig ist.

    A very pleasant overnight stay. Ideally situated on our way to Italy and on our way home. Very friendly staff and professional. A quick 10 minute walk into town to watch the last post ceremony at the Cenotaph. All facilities were good. Highly recommend

    Beautiful place. We were in a Lodge. But it was so small, it could have just been called a room. It was clean and well equipped. Unfortunately no store or opportunity to wash clothes due to renovation. And from very early in the morning we could already enjoy the sounds of reconstruction. Had we known these last two things, we would not have booked. So if you book: ask if the renovation is already finished!

    Mooie plek. Wij zaten in een Lodge. Maar het was zó klein, het had gewoon een kamer kunnen heten. Het was wel keurig schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Helaas geen winkeltje of een gelegenheid om kleding te wassen door een verbouwing. En vanaf heel vroeg in de ochtend konden we al genieten van de verbouwingsgeluiden. Hadden we deze twee laatste dingen geweten, hadden we niet geboekt. Dus als je boekt: vraag even of de verbouwing al klaar is!

    The camping area with 9 pitches is not as good as what was on the top field it's very hard and open to the sun and not enough pitches for bikers in a group. I got a few bites in cabin number 3 might be better with some repellent sprays and the showers need a good cleaning the shower head needs descaling.
