The green Oasis

Tell us about your experience
Nice camp space close to Leuven. The place was easily accessible by our bus of almost 6 meters long. We enjoyed the garden and the goats and sheep in the meadow

Louis welcomed us warmly and showed us around.

Very nice reception, quiet green place! Very happy for the freedom we got to be able to cook - for an additional fee. I think some may find the bathroom unsanitary, but I could see this beforehand and knew what I was going for.

How was the contact with the host?
Nice! Friendly

The Oasis is indeed very green. Many sunny spots but also many shady spots under beautiful green trees. There are goats and chickens and here and there beautiful flowers. We had a wonderful stay.
Plumbing was very basic and could use a facelift. But both toilet, shower and sink with hot and cold water were present.
Leuven is within cycling distance, via a separate bicycle path along the water.

How was the contact with the host?
Louis is very welcoming and friendly. He gave us a tour through the garden where we could choose a place for our camper van. There was a large indoor area where beer, soda and wine were cold that we could grab and sign off ourselves.

The night camping with the kids was a very cool experience. Play with the kids, sheep, parrot Fred and parakeet Nero. Swimming in the small natural pond between the frogs was a nice snack, in addition to visiting the ponds of Bellefroid.

How was the contact with the host?
On arrival we were given an extensive tour and we were allowed to choose our camping spot under the apple tree. They are very lovely people.

Tips for new guests?
If you want basic camping in nature, this is a top location to de-stress without luxury.

Very quiet place in an unmaintained and somewhat messy backyard. Goats walk in (separate) part, but they do not cause any nuisance. Suitable for small motorhomes, caravans and tents (3 places).
Good cycling distance from Leuven (over 5 km).
Sanitary very basic. Doesn't look very neat, but if you look through it, it's fine to use. It is clean and shower gives a wonderfully warm powerful jet.

How was the contact with the host?
Friendly, flexible landlords, who can and can do just about anything (within reason).

Tips for new guests?
If you don't pay much attention to the appearance, fine place. If you are precise, you will be shocked by the plumbing.

Truly a green oasis, thoroughly enjoyed in this special place.

Beautiful place! After a packed beach campsite, it was an oasis of space and tranquility here. The sounds of (air) traffic are there, but disappear into the background with all that beauty. We had private sanitary facilities, simple but clean and functional. Leuven is within cycling distance.

How was the contact with the host?
We found Louis to be a very sympathetic, cheerful and somewhat philosophical man. His love for and knowledge of trees is an important aspect in the management of his land. The conversations with him were pleasant and educational.

What a lovely place. We completely relaxed in the beautiful paradise of Louis with goats and various trees and fruit trees.

How was the contact with the host?
Louis is very helpful and takes all the time to tell you about his place and the area.

Tips for new guests?
Perfect cycling distance from Leuven, if you can get yourself off the campsite ;)

Set back from the road, the 'Green Oasis' is full of surprises. The lovely couple, Louis and Lieve, received us friendly and full of enthusiasm. Immediately we were given an extensive tour of the beautiful self-built site full of goats, chickens and sheep, but also various fruit trees (you can pick your own fruit!), flowers and fish ponds. This site has been a fish pond garden center for years and Louis is still working in the garden with passion and conviction every day. It is nice to see how Louis is working 100% circular; nothing is thrown away. The bad apples go to the goats and sheep, leftover wood is used to make a campfire and the compost heap clears itself. It was wonderful to be sung to sleep by the frogs and to be woken up by the kids in the morning. There is also another pleasant surprise in the barn, named Freddy. To give away a tip of the veil, the animal can talk! ;) There is a nice, spacious shed for when the weather is bad. Louis and Lieve like to share their beautiful stories, but also give the guests their freedom and tranquility. The sanitary facilities can be improved, but equipped with all the basic comforts you need. All in all we had an unforgettable time and we can definitely recommend this unique place! :)

Superb camping spot, including entertainment: a football goal, goats, sheep and above all a lot of space. In addition, a handy bathroom is also available

How was the contact with the host?

Fantastic host, very helpful and sociable. The garden is very spacious. More than worth it!

How was the contact with the host?
Easy and he always made time.

Tell us about your experience
The reception was very good and cordial. We were received pleasantly and were given an extensive tour of the domain. my experience on campspace was positive because we could sleep in a location close to our multi-day trek for little money. We did the GR dijleland route and slept on the way at a campspace address.

Tell us about your experience
The site is ideal for camping with a camper, van or tent. If it rains or is a bit cooler, you can always go to the outbuilding. The goats and sheep are fun activities for the children: cross-country skiing together in the meadow.
The host and his wife also do everything to make the stay as good as possible. In any case, we felt very welcome there. Should we ever be in the vicinity of Leuven, we will definitely come back here to spend the night.

A few weeks ago we camped for a few nights in De Groene Oasis in Herent. I can recommend the location: it is a beautiful, very quiet location, very rural with bucolic sounds :-)

"People who see solutions despite the problems are extremely valuable! We thank our host for the solutions offered! Even our children thought the host and his wife were such lovely people! A top location where we will definitely visit again! Highly recommended !"
