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.

Venture into nature

In the natural surroundings, you will find endless cycling and walking routes. Less than 2 km from the glamping is the urban nature reserve Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen. This park, which covers 220 hectares, has three hiking trails that take you past beautiful green nature with meadows and forest areas. Tens of thousands of birds perch in this area every year. There are special bird-watching huts along the way where you can spot the most beautiful birds undisturbed.

Plenty of fun at Blaarmeersen Sports and Recreation Park

Glamping at Urban Gardens Ghent means free access to the Blaarmeersen Sports and Recreation Park. In this green park with a large pond, there are plenty of water sports activities to do. Get in a canoe or kayak and paddle up the Leie. Learn to water ski or go pedal boating. For children, there is a water playground with a slide and a sandy beach that completes the recreation park.

    €51.00 for a piece of grass and toilet building I find very excessive. Reception is being renovated but there is nothing else. Would be nice to give a discount if it is such a ruin, nothing to drink. 1 food truck for pizza. New toilet building is nice.

    €51.00 voor een stukje gras en toiletgebouw vind ik erg overdreven. Receptie wordt verbouwd maar er is verder totaal niks. Zou netjes zijn als je korting geeft als het zo’n bouwval is.Niks waar je wat kan drinken. 1 foodtruck voor pizza. Nieuwe toiletgebouw is mooi.

    The staff are friendly and very helpful. Yes, it is muddy when it rains a lot. It's a campsite with grass and plants. The heavy vehicles keep tearing up the ground. If you want to stand firmly, you should stand on a paved parking lot. We liked it despite the mud.

    Das Personal ist freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Ja, es ist matschig, wenn es viel regnet. Es ist ein Campingplatz mit Rasen und Pflanzen. Die schweren Fahrzeuge reißen den Boden immer wieder auf. Wer fest stehen will, sollte sich auf einen befestigen Parkplatz stellen. Uns hat es trotz Matsch gefallen.

    Campsite in a central location. You can be in the old town within 15 minutes by bike. There is also a bus connection. The sanitary facilities are currently being renovated. The old facilities that are still available are clean and in good order, although the one closest to our pitch was unfortunately closed. Wifi only at the entrance. Bread roll service available. Very friendly staff! We were satisfied and would come here again at any time.

    Campingplatz in zentrumsnaher Lage. Innerhalb von 15 min. ist man mit dem Rad in der Altstadt. Auch eine Busverbindung ist vorhanden. Die Sanitäranlagen werden zur Zeit erneuert. Die noch vorhandenen alten Anlagen sind sauber und durchaus in Ordnung, wenn auch die unserem Stellplatz nächstgelegene leider geschlossen war. Wifi nur am Eingang. Brötchenservice vorhanden. Sehr freundliches Personal! Wir waren zufrieden und würden jederzeit wieder hierher kommen.

    The location to the old town of Ghent is great, only a few minutes walk to the bus stop. Online booking and payment without any problems. The ladies at check-in were very friendly and nice. Large pitches nicely laid out. Sanitary facilities and showers are okay, a few renovations would be appropriate.

    Die Lage zur Altstadt Gent ist super, nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß zur Bushaltestelle. Online Buchung und Bezahlung Problemlos. Die Damen im Check-in sehr freundlich und nett. Große Parzellen schön angelegt. Sanitäreinrichtungen und Duschen naja geht so, ein paar Renovierungsarbeiten wären schon angebracht.
