About this campspace
On a unique natural camping site in Dranouter - Heuvelland, right on the border with France, Piet offers several unique places, "returning to the essence" or "rewilding" yourself (see our plans for 2024 below). From old-fashioned camping with your own tent or camper, to an authentic caravan or the renovated guest house!
You will stay in peace and quiet in the orchard, vineyard, hay meadow or (food) forest, on a site of 1.7 hectares, with very spacious camp pitches and a view of the hills of the beautiful Heuvelland.
On site you can walk to the vineyard, the food forest, the overgrown forest, the sheep pasture, and the natural swimming hole (where you can take an invigorating dip from 5 meters high).
Or enjoy the wood-fired sauna barrel* and/or hot tub*!
There is also a continuous ice bath at 3°C. Go back to basics, with plenty of space and nature around you, make a cozy campfire at your pitch and enjoy the things you don't do at home - based on the 'leave no trace' ethic. The 52m2 teepee tent is made available free of charge to guests and offers access to a refrigerator, kettle and electricity for charging your telephone, headlamp, etc. You can take shelter from the rain, make a campfire, etc.
Everything has been deliberately kept very basic, minimalist and natural, including the dry toilets and showers (with the necessary hygiene!). You are welcome with your family, loved ones and some friends, and/or four-legged friends!
The region is fantastic for walking or cycling! There is a walking junction and a cycling junction on the site, from which many unpaved (walking) routes start. As an avid walker, Piet is happy to help you find a suitable walking route for you.
You will find several restaurants and cafes within walking or cycling distance. You can cycle into France for fresh croissants and 'une baquette, buy French delicacies at a culinary butcher, go to a farmers' cooperative for vegetables, buy fresh oysters in the French supermarket... and you can even watch a live performance. join us in the Folk music centre. You can only book our guesthouse and the complete teepee via our website. You can also BOOK ALL extra services (electricity, fire bowl, firewood, etc.) ON SITE and pay in cash without extra service costs!
*You reserve and pay for the sauna and hot tub on site, if available. Sauna, private: €45/1.5 hours (incl. fuel wood, swimming hole, scrub soap…) and hot tub from €80/3 hours. ATTENTION, on site: ONLY cash payments, NO electronic payment systems!
We do not accept groups during the holiday periods; or inquire first! Be sure to take a look at the many beautiful photos of our past guests at the end of the photo series. Also visit our website for even more information.
NEW in 2024!
In 2024 we will focus even more on 'experience' and 'rewilding' yourself at 't Heuvelhof and in Heuvelland. On fixed days we offer silent walks, we search for the 'primal power' within ourselves by means of: breathing meditation and ice baths, we do yoga in the morning sun, we make dishes in the wood-fired clay oven with plants from the 'wild', we practice the 'Nordic Cycle' (Viking bath: sauna/ice bath/hot tub/sauna...), we learn bushcraft techniques, we climb trees... and drum circle, cocoa ceremony, sweat lodge, we jump from 5 meters high into the water, we sleep under the open starry sky...
and we are looking at installing more dry toilets (and reducing any odor nuisance). Follow us via social media or via the newsletter on our website.
Perfect for...
Adventurers, minimalists and added value seekers who love staying in nature with little luxury, but still that little bit extra. Come and 'rewild' yourself here. NO GROUPS, sorry.
