Camping in West Flanders 

The province of West Flanders offers many camping options for visitors who want to explore the region and enjoy its beautiful beaches and nature. But camping in West Flanders offers a completely different feeling. West Flanders (or West-Vlaanderen in Flemish) is a province itself, part of the Dutch-speaking region called Flanders (or Flemish region). It is quite large and is the only coastline in Belgium. Of course, the province has a rich flora and fauna, but it also offers the possibility to spend time sunbathing on a beach. This type of all-inclusive offer is rarely found in Northern Europe. Because of the large number of tourists from Belgium and neighbouring countries, the province has many camping spaces to offer. It is a suitable region for camping due to several factors:

1. Proximity to the sea: West Flanders is situated on the North Sea coast, which makes it an ideal destination for beach holidays and water sports. Many campsites in the region offer direct access to the beach, which is convenient for holidaymakers.

2. Unspoilt nature: West Flanders is also known for its unspoilt nature, with dunes, forests and nature reserves. The region's campsites often offer a natural and peaceful setting for holiday makers, with activities such as hiking, cycling and bird watching.

The best campspaces in West Flanders

One of the most important things you need to consider when camping in West Flanders is how far you are from the beach and how important it is to you to be away from civilisation. Once you have made this decision, it will be much easier to choose a camping spot. 

For example, if you prefer a private stay away from the crowds, it would be best to look for something in the middle of the province, where there are plenty of forests. This campsite near a small village offers you the opportunity to enjoy your privacy without sacrificing leisure activities. The site itself is set in a green garden with a wall of trees separating you from the host, so you almost feel as if you are living in the forest. The hosts provide you with everything you need to make your own fire and prepare a well-deserved meal.
