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

Very quiet location, in the middle of nature! Beaver tracks a few meters from the terrain and raccoons can be captured with the Wildcamera.
It is possible to make beautiful walks in the area

Had a nice weekend at the pond.
I had the idea that the location/grounds would be much bigger than it was in the end.
Toilet can be improved.
