    If you have kids that love horses, this is the place to be! You can even borrow (for a fee) your own pony while you’re there. Great concept, not sure there are many places like this in the UK.

    We enjoyed a blissful extended weekend! Not far across the border from Belgium is this beautiful campsite with very luxurious tents. Our kids had a grooming pony to pet and ride. Making new friends on the playground and a walk in the woods with the ponies. They had a great time here!!! Back home with a backpack full of memories.

    Wij hebben genoten van een zalig verlengd weekend! Niet ver over de grens met België ligt deze mooie camping met zeer luxueuze tenten. Onze kids hadden een verzorgpony om te vertroetelen en op te rijden. Nieuwe vriendjes maken op het speelplein en een wandeling in de bossen met de pony’s. Ze hebben zich prima kunnen vermaken hier!!! Met een rugzak vol herinneringen terug naar huis.
