Hi, I'm Jorn. I live in the Ardennes, not so far from the camping pitches that I offer. I myself work as a nature guide in the region. For example, if you want to do a night game safari, to spot game, using a thermal binoculars and 4x4, you can also book this with me. I also guide beaver excursions during the day and I rent kayaks.

Tips

  • Visit the beaver sanctuary which is 500 meters away!

  • Go on a night game drive with the landlord

Had a nice weekend at the pond.

Toilet can be improved.
