Very pleasant camping spot, creatively decorated and very child-friendly. Recommended!

How was the contact with the host?
We were welcomed by the host's family. Very friendly, correct and smooth. The online contact with the host was also very pleasant.

Tips for new guests?
You can reach the site by driving onto a dirt road, a hundred meters before the monastery building if you come from the direction of Hoogstraeten (we soon passed the dirt road)

What a beautiful place and how fun it is for children. You can also walk straight into the forest for a nice walk. We had less weather with rain, but there was a nice covered table in the outdoor kitchen where we had a nice sit. Toilet is also neat. The shower is open air, so it is less convenient when it rains, but that did not spoil the fun.

How was the contact with the host?
Jacq's sister received us very nicely and explained everything.

We had a lot of rain, but luckily we were high and dry. It is a beautiful and nice campsite. Lots of space for the kids to romp. Many amenities (especially the fully equipped kitchen was useful, because we had no more space in the car for kitchen utensils). Friendly people (both the host and the guests).

How was the contact with the host?
Well, Jac is a friendly, cheerful man who clearly does his best to make your stay a success.

Tips for new guests?
Find a higher spot for your tent if rain is expected. Leave kitchen utensils at home if you have little space in the car (four-burner gas stove, senseo, kettle, pans, plates, cutlery, mugs, it's all there).

We spent a full week at Jac and loved it. The location is so beautiful and the fully equipped open kitchen means you have to bring so much less equipment yourself.

Jac was a perfect host, before and during our stay, always happy to help. Thank you for all the strawberries!

From the garden you can step straight into the private forest to take walks in the beautiful surroundings.

There is a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. You can make a campfire if you want. Jac comes by regularly for a nice chat. And his grandchildren are also used to "strange" people in the garden. They just go their own way :-)

The very first trip with my van went very well. The monastery garden is a beautiful place where you can enjoy peace and quiet and from where you can easily explore the beautiful surroundings on foot or by bike. It also seems like a lovely place to go with my granddaughters during warmer days. This is a real play paradise for young children.

It was a pleasant stay in Jac's cloister garden. I had looked up a whole range of activities in the area but we just stayed in his garden because the game offer was so large! I would love to go back and recommend it to everyone!

How was the contact with the host?
Jack is a sympathetic host. In the evening he came to light the fire for us!

Tips for new guests?
Don't forget marshmallows. Jac himself has very long sticks to pick up your marshmallows.

Wonderful experience with children. Play paradise with swing, trampoline, play caravan, outdoor play kitchen and gambling doctor. For fun, there is a campfire in the evening where you can enjoy a cozy moment with your marshmellows. Everything is there, so you can safely install yourself with only your tent and your own equipment. At the time we were there, there were also other children so that they could have fun with each other to their heart's content. The parents also had a moment for themselves. Recommended!

How was the contact with the host?
Super friendly and helpful man.

Tips for new guests?
Do not bring too many items such as pots, pans and the like. Everything is there!

Beautiful camping site. Very friendly welcome and everything well arranged. A campsite with that little bit more personality than your average campsite. We even got to meet the young owls that were present.
Jac does this with great dedication and came to sit by the campfire in the evening. Top!

Beautiful camping pitch in a wooded area where you can cook in the outdoor kitchen or on the campfire. A unique experience!

How was the contact with the host?
Very hospitable people who open their entire garden to their guests.

Tips for new guests?
The camping site is located on the route of both cycling and hiking nodes. De Mosten, a beautiful recreation area with a swimming pond, is nearby. Root Colony is a beautiful nature reserve nearby. But you can also spend a day at the camping site itself. Ideal for families with children.
