Lodge - 2 persons

Good size pitches, friendly staff, clean and modern facilities. On the more expensive side but worth it as a good base for seeing Belgium

The campground’s location is great. They’re renovating, but I’d first make sure the current condition of the restroom facilities is up to par. There are a couple of brand-new restroom buildings, but both had issues that caused the toilets and showers to be out of service. There are also warnings that the pipes clog easily. There are also some very old restroom buildings that could use an upgrade. The glamping tents look really nice and each has its own little courtyard. There’s so much to do in Blaarmeersen, which is just a short walk away—ideal for the kids.

Beautiful tiny house with all the amenities. The AC works great, and the beds and sofa downstairs are very comfortable. The outdoor furniture could be a bit more comfortable.
Wonderfully peaceful in a green setting. Breakfast was well organized; we didn’t use any other facilities.
The bus to the center of Ghent is great—it runs frequently and stays in service late into the evening.
The beach is also wonderful for a day trip.

A nice campground: the bathrooms are spotless and very comfortable. The campsites are spacious. If I ever return to Ghent, I’ll definitely consider staying at this campground.

Unfortunately, a big disappointment—lots of marketing, little substance

Our experience at this campground was, unfortunately, thoroughly negative.

The chaos began as soon as we arrived: a huge line at check-in, even though it was peak arrival time. There was only one staff member on site, who was clearly overwhelmed. I was fifth in line and had to wait a long time in 28-degree heat. The atmosphere was understandably tense—people were already honking their horns outside.

The Wi-Fi didn’t work at all during our stay.

The restrooms were in appalling condition: mold, dirt, hair everywhere, and far too few toilets and showers for the number of guests. On top of that, the lighting was poor, so it didn’t feel safe to be there even in the evening. Particularly unpleasant was the smell of feces, which wasn’t limited to the restrooms but could even be detected inside the camper. In the end, we could only hope we hadn’t caught any illnesses or athlete’s foot there.

On top of that, there was construction, landscaping, and forestry work going on all around the campground. Neither the website nor the booking confirmation mentioned that we should expect constant noise and disruptions.

What’s particularly frustrating is that if you read the reviews from recent years, these exact problems are mentioned time and again—along with the note that improvements were planned. Apparently, however, hardly anything has changed.

Instead of adjusting prices to reflect the site’s condition, they’re charging completely exorbitant rates here. We paid €51 per night for a RV with two adults. Given what’s offered, that’s in no way justified.

Our impression is this: lots of AI-generated marketing, beautiful pictures, and big promises—but once you’re there, appearances apparently matter more than substance.

The only plus is its convenient location near Ghent. However, our recommendation is very clear: You’re better off finding a campground a bit outside the city and driving a few minutes longer into town. It’s worth it.

Unfortunately, this campground cast a shadow over our visit to Ghent. As beautiful as the city is—it’s this stay that sticks in our memory most of all.

Finally, a request to the operator: Please spare us the standard AI response under this review. Instead, use the criticism that’s been voiced for years as an opportunity to finally address the obvious shortcomings.

The site was under some work but the location the staff the who experience was fantastic thank you
