About this location

Come and enjoy the expansive Gewestbossen forest in the Antwerp Kempen region. From your pitch you have an ideal base for numerous wonderful walks or cycling trips. The pitch is located along the forest where you can depart within metres for walks along routes selected as walk of the year 2021, including the 10km bridge walk and the 3km raven path. If you prefer peace and quiet, you will find a lovely spot near or on your pitch itself. Your pitch is located in an ecological garden on a farm where a caregiver and three people live in co-housing; they are happy to be your hosts.

Ask them about local attractions—there are certainly plenty. For the sporty holidaymaker and/or those seeking tranquility, there are many beautiful, interesting and fun places to discover.
On your pitch you can find peace and enjoy the wonderful forest scent.
Would you like to enjoy breakfast in the morning? Let your hosts know, and for an affordable price they will happily prepare something for you, perhaps with ingredients from their own garden.

In the evenings you can enjoy the sounds of the forest here: the song thrush, a grunting woodcock flying overhead, and when the campfire is lit you can also hear the tawny owl by the crackling fire.
If you have any questions about the possibilities on your pitch, you can always contact your hosts.

Perfect for...

Nature lovers, hikers, on your own, with family or with friends. People who enjoy life.

Camping & Create: Stay based on barter!

Are you looking for a unique, sociable, and affordable way to camp? We believe that bartering is the most fun form of trade. With us, you don't camp in exchange for money, but in exchange for your unique talents, qualities, or helping hands! What are we looking for? That's up to you! The Handy Harrys & Harryettes (and everything in between): Will you help build our dreams? We would love to build a pizza oven, make an insect hotel, or integrate art into the garden. Help with gardening or small repairs is also very welcome. The Atmosphere Makers & Caretakers: Not so handy with a hammer? No problem! We get just as happy with a delicious home-cooked meal, a relaxing massage, an evening full of tall tales, acrobatics, or an intimate garden concert. Artist in Residence (also for longer periods): For several years now, we have been offering (professional) artists a nice residency spot. Do you want to write your debut novel in peace, compose your latest summer hit, or put up a cool piece on a (legal!) wall? We offer you the space to create in a quiet, yet homey and cozy environment. The only thing we ask is a contribution that adds value to the house or the surroundings. In short: we offer peace, space, and coziness. You bring your passion. Do you see a match? Send us a message telling us who you are, when you would like to come, and what your 'exchange' is. We look forward to your stay! 🌿 PS: The base price is a one-time payment.
