Summary created out of 132 reviews

Urban Gardens Ieper offers an excellent location just 10-15 minutes' walk from the city centre and Menin Gate. Guests appreciate the friendly staff, clean sanitary facilities and spacious campervan pitches with electricity and water. The campsite is ideal as a base for exploring Ypres and the WWI sites in the surrounding area. However, disturbance is regularly reported from nearby factories operating 24/7, and occasionally from music events. Sanitary capacity was temporarily limited during renovation works.

    You sleep next to an industrial site where machines are running 24 hours a day. You can hear steel squeaking and creaking all night long.

    I really wouldn't recommend it.

    Just had 3 nights camping with private sanitary unit. The staff we encountered were all lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful. Excellent location to reach the centre of Ypres, would not hesitate to book again!

    Never had such a bad experience at this campground. Upon arrival, the floor of the camping cabin had not been swept. There were still leaves on the floor from the bushes outside. I also found the remains of a playing card and candy on the floor from previous visitors. The water tank of the espresso machine was open with the stale water from the previous user still in it as well as there was still an empty cup in the machine. The dust was so thick on the espresso machine that you could effortlessly write your name on it. The price of staying in a camping cabin has almost doubled, last year I paid 160€ for 4 days, this year I paid 302€ for 4 days. On top of that, they have taken away the small stove that used to be in the cabin. The tent meadow has also been reduced to almost nothing. It is clear that Urban-Gardens only targets mobile homes and Glamping residents, the small camper with the tent or the hiker who wants to stay here for a short time is no longer taken seriously but is allowed to pay almost twice as much as before.

    Nooit eerder z'on slechte ervaring gehad op deze camping. Bij aankomst was de vloer van de kampeerhut niet geveegd. Er lagen nog bladeren op de vloer afkomstig van de struiken buiten. Ik vond ook nog een restant van een speelkaart en snoep op de vloer van vorige bezoekers. Het waterreservoir van de espressomachine stond open met het muffe water van de vorige gebruiker er nog in alsook zat er nog een lege cup in de machine. Het stof lag zo dik op de espressomachine dat je zonder moeite je naam er kon inschrijven. De prijs van een verblijf in een kampeerhut is bijna verdubbeld, vorig jaar betaalde ik nog 160€ voor 4 dagen, dit jaar betaalde ik 302€ voor 4 dagen. Daarbij komt nog dat men het kleine kookplaatje dat vroeger in de hut stond heeft weggenomen. Ook de tentenweide is tot bijna niets gereduceerd. Vroeger kon men daar tientallen tentjes zetten maar nu is er op de nieuwe tentenweide slechts plaats voor 10 tenten en dan staat die prop vol.Het is dus duidelijk dat Urban-Gardens alleen nog mikt op mobilhomes en Glamping bewoners, de kleine kampeerder met het tentje of de trekker die hier kort wil verblijven worden niet meer ernstig genomen maar ze mogen wel bijna het dubbele betalen van vroeger.

    Located very close to the centre of Leper this campsite is mostly suitable for campervans and caravans. However there are spaces for four, possibly five, small tents. On the grass pitches there is just enough space to pitch a family sized tent.
