    We’re here for a week (June 20–26). Unfortunately, the campsite we were assigned on the large meadow was completely flooded due to the thunderstorm the day before. We were then given a different spot, where things were a little better. Although the location and the trees are great, the grounds could use some maintenance. Neither the bushes nor the lawn have been trimmed. The washhouse is great and always clean! The staff is friendly, and the food at the brasserie is good (though unfortunately there’s only a small selection).

    Wie sind für eine Woche hier (20. Bis 26. Juni. Der uns zugeteilte Stellplatz aus der grossen Wiese stand leider komplett unter Wasser aufgrund des Gewitters einen Tag vorher. Wir haben dann einen anderen Platz erhalten, da war es ein wenig besser. Obwohl die Lage und der Baumbestand toll ist, so fehlt es doch an Pflege. Weder Büsche noch Rasen sind zurück geschnitten. Das Waschhaus ist top und immer sauber! Der Service nett und das Essen in der Brasserie ist gut (leider nur eine kleine Auswahl).

    **Excellent RV site with great amenities!**
    We had a wonderful stay at Camping de Bouwte. The RV sites are excellent and, on top of that, very reasonably priced. The grounds are wonderfully spacious and can accommodate anyone who wants to camp.
    The Wi-Fi is truly excellent, and the swimming pond with purified spring water is a definite plus! The cozy restaurant is also highly recommended; you can find just about anything there. Add to that the incredibly friendly people, and you’ve got a top-notch destination.
    *One minor drawback:* In some spots, the layout or vegetation can make it a bit tricky to maneuver the RV into the perfect spot. But that certainly doesn’t take away from the fun. We’d love to come back!

    **Uitstekende camperplaats met geweldige voorzieningen!**
    We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad op Camping de Bouwte. De camperplaatsen zijn zeer goed en bovendien erg aantrekkelijk geprijsd. Het terrein is heerlijk groot en biedt plek aan iedereen die wil kamperen.
    De wifi is werkelijk uitstekend en de zwemvijver met gezuiverd bronwater is een absolute plus! Ook het gezellige restaurant is een aanrader; je kunt er terecht voor van alles en nog wat. Tel daar de ontzettend aardige mensen bij op en je hebt een topbestemming.
    *Klein minpuntje:* Op sommige plekken kan het door de indeling of begroeiing wat lastig manoeuvreren zijn om de camper perfect neer te zetten. Maar dat mag de pret zeker niet drukken. Wij komen graag terug!

    Unfortunately we were only at the campsite for one night. Lovely reception, very nice pitches with water and electricity, very well maintained site. Sanitary building top, showers included. Reasonable price. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed today, maybe next time. We would love to come back!

    Wir waren leider nur eine Nacht auf dem Campingplatz. Reizende Rezeption, schöne Stellplätze mit Wasser und Strom, ausreichend groß, Anlage sehr gepflegt. Starkes W-LAN includive. Sanitärhaus top, Duschen includive. Preis angemessen. Das Restaurant hatte heute leider Ruhetag, vielleicht nächstes Mal. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
