About this campspace #s004613
Your host
PieterOn this private piece of meadow of 100 m² you have a beautiful view of the Berendrechtse Buitenmolen and you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.
The campsite
You always have the camping spot all to yourself. There is room for a few smaller or 2 larger tents and a maximum of 8 people. The basic facilities are: 1 drinking water tap, 1 socket, 1 compost toilet and 1 'sunset sofa'.
The site is 70 meters from the street, at the intersection of the slow roads Berendrechtsvoetpad and Toon Verbraakpad. It is surrounded by shrubs which, like the surrounding meadows, are teeming with life.
All the woodwork on the camping site has been recovered and assembled together with miller Jorn: from beams washed ashore in the Galgeschoor - Lillo, over discarded meadow posts to pallets ready for heating.
Area
The mill often rotates, and there is a cozy snack bar with a terrace, children's playground, trampolines and mini golf .
In Berendrecht-Zandvliet-Lillo there is still a lot of nature and heritage. You are halfway between Antwerp and Bergen op Zoom (both at 20-25 km). But also on the border of Polder and Kempen, of rural villages and port industry, of Flanders and the Netherlands.
on a trip
This is the ideal starting point for one-day walking and cycling tours in the area or a little further away, such as the Molenwandelroute , the Gansrijdersroute (bicycle): pdf with description / junctions , the walking routes of Grenspark Kalmthoutse Heide , the district routes around heritage and nature , about -and-back to Yerseke (food & drinks), Wemeldinge (beach), Scheldeoord (beach), Lillo-Doel-Emmadorp (Scheldt and Saeftinghe), Bergen op zoom (historic town), ...
But it is also a great stopping point on a multi-day trip along mini campsites , such as a 'Rondje Westerschelde' with ferries Lillo-Liefkenshoek and Breskens-Vlissingen or a 'Rondje Zeeland' via Willemstad, Tiengemeten, Goedereede, Westenschouwen, Dreischor, Zierikzee, Oranjezon, Veere, Ellewoutsdijk, Nisse, Scheldeoord, Wemeldinge, Yerseke and much more…

Great camping site, clean toilet. The kids loved the proximity of horses/ponies. The restaurant at the mill is also highly recommended for children.
How was the contact with the host?
Good.
Tips for new guests?
At first I was looking for the entrance to the camp site in the wrong street, Zandvlietsestwg 3 instead of Zandweg 3, a few houses further, where nothing can be found.

This camping site is incredibly beautiful and cleanly decorated! Nicely decorated compost toilet, beautiful wooden bench, a border with wild flowers, a beautiful working old windmill nearby, drinking water and electricity. Plus, you get this place privately to yourself. The only slight drawback, if the wind is wrong, is the nighttime noise from the harbor industry, but you can sleep well with that.
How was the contact with the host?
Very friendly and attentive host, gives hiking tips, and knows the neighborhood very well.
Tips for new guests?
You can take the Waterbus to Antwerp nearby in Lillo. A boat trip on the Scheldt, an experience in itself!

We stayed two nights in Kamp Molenzicht. All facilities are available and user-friendly. During our breakfast on Sunday morning we could watch the miller start the mill. Afterwards we could also take a look inside, a unique experience! The rooming spot is an ideal starting point for various cycling and walking tours.
How was the contact with the host?
Pieter was very welcoming and helpful.

In May 2021 we went camping for a night at camp Molenzicht. Host Pieter gave us tips for walks and nice addresses in advance. The camp site is intimate and cozy, with a view of a beautiful working windmill and a cafe nearby. Beautiful surroundings, nice camping spot. Highly recommended for walkers and cyclists.
