About this campspace

Hello welcome! If you're looking for peace and quiet and want to enjoy nature, you've come to the right place. My place is in the middle of the agricultural area of Zuid-Beveland. From here it is a short walk to the 'Veerse Meer' with the Piet forest. You can go canoeing and swimming there, it is a well-known place for outdoor sports in Zeeland. I live here with my dog, sheep, chickens, rooster and two cats. I've been working from home for my second-hand bookshop for 20 years, so you don't need to bring any books, though: if you're the writer!

There is plenty to do in the area and at the same time it is quiet here, in the evening it is dark sometimes there is a beautiful starry sky. In the morning you will be woken up by the crowing of the rooster!
