I can tell you all about the herbs (planted * wild harvest) in the garden and vegetables in the conservatory. all from my own garden! 😃I like a pleasant chat, preferably by the campfire 🔥 😃! 🏕🤟️

Ahh! It was a great stay. So nice to be able to arrive so relaxed... it was the last stop of my road trip... wonderful to be able to park my van anywhere on the lawn where there was plenty of space. 5 minutes after arrival I immediately had a nice Belgian beer in my hand and a nice conversation with dear Eline.. The chickens, the puppy and the fresh eggs and the tranquility made everything complete! I also love all the nice details and texts!
Yippee, I'll be back again!

It was a great experience and we would love to go back! We were warmly welcomed and very hospitable. Very cosy.
Really nice to be among the animals. And nice view. Being close to nature is obvious and wonderful to see and experience.
The separate shower was actually super nice and actually very clean.
The whole thing with the kitchen was super fun!
And the shop was also so cool with the homemade products! Very unfortunate that we couldn't take anything on the bike because our luggage space was very limited.
In any case, a very nice experience that we enjoyed!!

CampMongoose is a magical place! A super chill vibe, free-range chickens (and the tastiest eggs in the world), sheep, dogs and cats and then in the evenings together by the campfire talking and making music. We were lucky enough to have some extremely talented musicians and singers (who didn't know each other beforehand) staying there and great jam sessions were created. We'll be back anyway!

Awesome! Eline, Kevin and Anita are super friendly and do everything they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Went yesterday and I already miss them!

We went camping with Eline 🏕 during an extended weekend. Although it was fully booked that weekend, we did not experience it as busy. It was very quiet, everyone respected each other. We enjoyed the campfire every night! Nice with different people around the campfire, we spoke English (German) & French 🙃
Our 3 children (including 2 teenagers) also enjoyed that weekend. Campfire 🔥 with marshmallows and popcorn and of course enjoyed the hot tub 💦
We went to Bruges for an afternoon and on the advice of Eline we also went to visit the castle of Loppem 🏰 and enjoyed the silence there too! Then the children (together with us) were allowed to test the maze.
How was the contact with the host?
Fine! Even though everyone arrived at about the same time, Eline made time for her guests. We were warmly welcomed. When we were "set up" she came over for a chat and welcomed us with a welcome drink 😁
Eline's brother always provided wood for our campfire 😉
They also regularly came to sit around the campfire, nice for a chat.

A blitz visit, we arrived after dark and woke up to an oasis of calm. Being awakened by the chirping birds. The large garden, the surrounding greenery and the animals in the garden make you feel at one with nature very quickly.

In the evening all guests were invite to join the campfire and the hosts were making pancakes above the fire. This was a great experience and its very nice to connect with other guests during your stay.
The hosts were also very helpful and very happy to make conversation and to share nice places to visit in the neighbourhood.

I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here to anyone that is looking for a nice scenic location to unwind.
I came as a solo traveler looking to disconnect from technology and city life for a weekend. The location is superb, with stunning sunsets to fall asleep to. it is in a rural area but in close proximity to shops. By bike, you can reach Brugges, Oostende and nature reserves.
The property itself is very cool, it has full of upcycled objects, a stone campfire, hot tub and a greenhouse. The campsite is spaceous, it can be private but equally nice for solo travellers looking to mingle with travelers.
You can rent a bike for a small fee and buy some drinks and snacks - They make their own walnut liquor (to die for!).
The hosts are superb, they are accomodating, full of tips and happy to chat with you. They have friendly dogs, cute cats and chickens that walk with sass.

Tips for new guests?
- Try their walnut liquor (homemade from their tree). It makes for a nice gift to bring home to friends and family.
-Hire a bike and cycle around the ''Vloethemveld'' nature preserve - Have a picnic and read a book. If motivated, cycle up to the coast!!
- If you are taking public transport and arriving from Bruges, be mindful of bus times as they differ depending on the day of the week. The campsite is a 30min bus drive from Bruges station.

Our journey led directly from Brussels to Aartrijke. The site is cordoned off with an electric gate. The terrain is easy to drive on and has enough space. The place was freely selectable. Electricity and internet was really good. Landlord and family live in mobile homes on the farm. Instruction and other contact in English. The shower is simple/ basic but nice and warm. The toilet is inside the old building. Farm eggs, homemade jam, local beer and much more can also be bought there. Our booked breakfast on Saturday and Sunday was awesome! It was totally made with love and according to our wishes. We will be back!
How was the contact with the host?
The welcome was very friendly and heartfelt by the mother, brother and Eline. Inquiries are answered quickly. We gratefully accepted daily tips (on paper and Google maps) where it was good. Families with children are very welcome and happy to be here. Eline is a great landlady with a heart.
Tips for new guests?
Families will certainly feel at home and have enough space on the fenced area and even a play box. Breakfast (weekends only) is a must. The small "shop" in the old house with drinks and own things makes life easier. Baker and other shop for daily needs in the village. Campfire possible. Sights just ask.

Eline and her team received us fantastic. Due to the stormy weather our bbq literally fell into the water, but Kevin and Eline let us take shelter inside. They gave my nephew an unforgettable camping adventure, he can't shut up about it. In the evening we drank a glass together on the series of adventures that took place in a few hours. The breakfast on Sunday morning was the icing on the cake, pure glamping in Aartrijke!

Brilliant from start to finish, Eline responds quickly online and is very attentive on site. With Kevin and her mom, she has four perfect extra helping hands.

Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate during our camping trip with Eline and her family. We arrived in the rain, set up the tent in the rain and were soaked by the time the tent was there. To warm us up, they had provided us with a lovely campfire, which is also a great way to get to know the other guests.
To dry our shoes (and clothes), they hung them in front of the stove. Eline and her family are really incredibly hospitable.

Eline and her family are very sweet, warm, pleasant people. They immediately help you with everything.

Very nice micro campsite where we immediately felt at home. Eline and her family are the sweetest people you can imagine. We stayed there for a week, with almost every evening a (non-mandatory) campfire with local beers (available in the available mini-market), so that you also get to know Eline and the other camping guests. Kevin (Eline's brother) also fixed a technical defect on our car. In other words: super helpful and hospitable people! We would love to come back here and highly recommend a visit to this campsite.

For our first camping trip, we booked this location. From here you can quickly reach the coast, Bruges and the Westhoek. There is a beautiful view of the fields behind and there is the possibility to shower and a toilet. There is also play equipment for children (and adults).
How was the contact with the host?
The booking went very smoothly, the reception was pleasant and friendly. We received an extensive explanation about the camp site and also some useful tips for trips and addresses to eat something. So a big stroke of luck!
Tips for new guests?
For a reasonable price you can get electricity and also wood for the cozy campfire. There is also a barbecue set, but it is best to agree with other guests for its use. Also think about toilet paper for the toilet.

Kind of like camping in the backyard. A free field with about 6 units occupied. Set up a small swimming pool, showering in an open cubicle with a curtain but excellent hot water, a small reception room with sink and toilet. Everyone went about their business, watched by the free-roaming chickens. Games and guitar to borrow by the campfire and various home-made products, eggs and local beers available. Not for the luxury camper but very relaxed!

Nice, quiet place close to both the coast and Bruges. Suitable for 1 night or a whole holiday. Back too basic and nature. Ideal place for people who like to laze around, go on bike rides, walk or make trips and want to use camping as a home base. Here you can really camp. Enjoyed it and going back next month.
Not only Belgians find this place. Also Ned. German. francr. etc...

Very cosy, small-scale and friendly campsite. We felt very welcome and were grateful to use the picnic table and extra chairs because we had forgotten these. We were with a baby of 10 months and he could crawl around the field. When it was busy (during the Ascension weekend) it was a bit of improvisation with the available sanitary facilities and the washing-up area, but all guests coped well with that. The atmosphere was very good.
How was the contact with the host?
Very good! Very friendly and always up for a chat.
Tips for new guests?
- Make herbal tea with all the fresh herbs from the campsite.
- Get fresh bread rolls or pastries from one of the 3 bakeries in the village.
- Atlantic Wall Raversyde open-air museum in Ostend, many bunkers and corridors from WWI and WWII have been preserved.
- Café Alainprovist in Snellegem, for delicious specialty beers during a bike ride.
- Nice playground at the Koningin Astridpark in Bruges Center.

Beautiful, manicured grounds. Due to the good weather there was a lot of people, but the different tents and campers were sufficiently separated, so that you still had some privacy. It is also nice that there are chickens, cats and dogs on the property, which makes the nature experience complete. This is so much more pleasant than a classic campsite. We really enjoyed our stay here, even if it was only short (one night).

Very pleasant! Eline is spontaneous and received us perfectly. We were first given a short, but clear explanation of everything we needed to know. And then we also got a welcome drink. Top!

Everything here is dedicated to giving guests a pleasant stay. The terrain gives you a distant view over meadows and fields. All facilities are available: water, electricity, toilet, shower, mini-shop with special beers, jam, drinks. We were very kindly welcomed with a home-brewed, super tasty drink. We got stuck with the caravan and we were immediately helped to settle in. A mover is therefore a must in wet grass. To our question "Campfire?" a wheelbarrow of wood was set out and the fire pit was prepared.
