Camping at Grijsberg
About this campspace #s003572

Your host
Christof en LizeCome and enjoy the vast forests here in the Antwerp Kempen. From your camping pitch, you have an ideal base for many wonderful hiking or cycling tours. If you prefer to enjoy the peace and quiet, you will find a nice spot close to or at your camping spot itself.
Ask the owners about the local assets, as they certainly are. For the sporty holidaymaker and / or the rather quieter, there are many beautiful, interesting nice places to discover.
On the camping spot itself you can find peace and sniff the wonderful forest scent. Would you like an egg and / or a jar of honey or jam with your breakfast? Your hosts are happy to offer it to you. Most of it comes from your own garden.
In the evening you can enjoy the sounds of the forest here: the song thrush with its evening song, a grunting woodcock flying over and when the campfire is lit you can also hear the tawny owl by the crackling fire.
If you have any questions about the possibilities at the camping site, you can always contact the host and hostess.

Grijsberg was originally built as a holiday home for a baron's family. We like to share that fact with others, just like our love for the green environment. We, Christof, Lize and our two sons, would like to welcome you to Gijzenberg.

We had a good overnight stay at this place! The cottage with sink, toilet and shower tray with water bag was very pleasant. Especially because it was raining and we could shelter well there.

Good! It was easy to find and communication was good too.
Tips for new guests?
Be sure to bring something against the mosquitoes!

Friendly reception. Beautiful location and wonderful place to pitch your tent. Choice between field and Beukenlaan. Very neat dry toilet without unpleasant odors, fine sink. If necessary you can take a fire bowl and some wood (voluntary contribution for the wood)
Just all right.

Great, good explanation

Very nice place to stay overnight. We were on the beech drive. Here you spend the night in a real forest with all the soothing sounds of nature. Electricity is not available in the beech lane, only on the meadow.
Bring mosquito repellent or anti-deet. There are relatively many mosquitoes and ticks.
How was the contact with the host?
Very nice contact and a warm welcome. We forgot to bring mosquito repellent and anti-deet . Luckily Lize was kind enough to make this available.
Tips for new guests?
Mosquito repellent 😄 and be quiet for a moment when you are there, you really don't hear anything, only nature.

What a lovely place! Away from all the hustle and bustle, fully enjoy the tranquility. The children were able to run through the field, play between the trees and chat with the chickens. A composting toilet (doesn't smell), running drinking water and electricity were provided, everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you Christof and Lize, we really enjoyed this beautiful location!
How was the contact with the host?
Very nice, Christof and Lize answer quickly and correctly. Everything was clear on arrival.

Nice quiet place to relax for a few days. A bit of walking in the area, nothing is necessary, just take it easy and watch the stars at the campfire in the evening.
How was the contact with the host?
Super friendly and glad we got the tip in advance to bring something against the mosquitoes.
Tips for new guests?
The Gray Mountain is definitely recommended for a relaxing weekend

What a lovely place this is! Spot a deer at dawn a few meters from your camper. The fog that comes over the field at night. Really nice outside!
How was the contact with the host?
Contact was very good, initially unable to find it immediately, but easy to call / send a message and received immediately on arrival.
Tips for new guests?
Be sure to visit Talander's Tea House!

What a lovely place! Nature and tranquility, and in abundance. From your camping spot you can walk straight into the woods for endless walks. I will definitely come back here!
How was the contact with the host?
Lize is the perfect hostess: engaging, warm and humble.
Tips for new guests?
So thoughtful that the hostess advised me in advance to bring mosquito repellent; no unnecessary luxury. The sanitary facilities (compositional + cold water tap) are simple but spotlessly clean.

We had a wonderful week. Spoiled with eggs, honey, jam and apple/pear juice. A beautiful and quiet camping spot. Beautiful red beech avenue. Many hiking opportunities.
How was the contact with the host?
Very good! The huge fire bowl was fantastic. The children provided the firewood. A solution for "pyromaniacs".

Very nice place where we could completely relax. We had a fantastic night and really enjoyed it very much. It is super quiet and we even saw a deer 10 meters from our camping spot.
How was the contact with the host?
Very nice contact! Both are super friendly and were immediately available if we had any questions.
Tips for new guests?
If there are no clouds, it is really worth looking at the stars after dark. I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful starry sky.

Very nice campspace on a fantastic domain. You enjoy the peace. There is also wood available to make a fire in the evening which is always nice. You can also immediately start walking or cycling from the domain. For a bakery or other shop you have to drive a little further. But a campspace where we will definitely return. Also because of the very nice environment. Recommended
How was the contact with the host?
Lize and Christof are two jovial people who immediately welcome you and immediately make you feel at home. You can always contact them for any questions or information or for a casual chat. Nature and nature experience are also central to them and they pass that on to their two boys. Top
Tips for new guests?
Be sure to go cycling/walking in the wider area. The region around Reusel is very beautiful. The Cartierheide just across the border is more than recommended. We thought the long walk (blue 13 km) in the Hoge Vijvers (can be reached on foot from the campspace) was great. Very nice walk and few other walkers. Super nice environment.

Very nice camping spot in the middle of nature, in the forest. Interesting that there was electricity and a compost toilet. Spacious place where we could choose between a large meadow and a red beech avenue. Great that you could use a fire pit with accompanying wood for the evening. Unfortunately, the rain was a bummer for us to test this out.
How was the contact with the host?
Friendly, helpful and always available.
Tips for new guests?
Definitely do: the Talander walk. Beautiful with different beautiful landscapes, we left on foot from the 'camping space' and this is certainly doable. Do not forget mosquito repellent .... the mosquitoes are abundant there in the woods.

As a city person greatly enjoyed the peace and nature in the middle of the forest. Many hiking opportunities through the wooded area. Ideal place if you want to isolate yourself from social media, reception is hardly there. To be repeated. Recommended.
How was the contact with the host?
Had a short but smooth chat with the host.
Tips for new guests?
Leave your mobile phone at home, but bring something against the mosquitoes.

We had a very nice time. Christof and Lize were never far away, but still gave us enough privacy. You walk straight into the woods and it is a beautiful place to wake up. Highly recommended!
Tips for new guests?
There were quite a few mosquitoes during the time we were there. So just to be sure, bring deet or citronella candles with you.

Was voor ons ook de eerste keer campspace en we zijn helemaal enthousiast. Wat een fantastische plek! Dit is kamperen op z'n best! Primitief, maar wat een rust, ruimte en uitzicht. Dat is dan weer pure luxe.
How was the contact with the host?
Lize en Christof waren super hosts. Altijd snelle reactie, vriendelijk en bereikbaar. We voelden ons zeer welkom en vereerd dat ze de luxe van dit uitzicht met ons wilden delen.
Tips for new guests?
Google maps wijst je inderdaad naar het verkeerde adres aan een zijstraat van de hoofdweg. Op de fiets of lopend is het dan echt heel ergens anders en dus even zoeken. Navigeren op nummer 80 levert betere resultaten op.

Beautiful place in the forest. Because the field was still wet from the showers, we were allowed to stand on the red beech lane. The simple facilities are fine for a few nights and the hostess and host are very friendly. The fresh eggs from the chickens tasted great. The area is beautiful for cycling, highly recommended!

Super nice and spacious area on the property of Grijsenberg. Feeling of being back in nature again. Toilet block is simple but tidy with a compost toilet. It sits on a large forest where you can walk nicely. A visit to the tea house and picking garden completes the visit.
How was the contact with the host?
Fast and good contact and very helpful.
Tips for new guests?
When it is very wet, be careful with a heavy bus/camper on the lawn, you can get stuck. Fortunately, there is a dear neighbor who can lend a hand ;)

Beautiful place with lots of space where you will not soon stand herring to herring. Hikers, runners but also mountain bikers can indulge themselves in the adjacent nature and recreation area. The Antwerp Kempen are more than worth a visit! I will definitely come back with family or friends.

If everyone was like Lize, the world would look a lot better. I wish Christof and Lize every success!

What a fantastic place this is. Wonderfully relaxed on the estate. Waking up early in the morning to the rooster's cock and the sun's rays on our tent. The fire bowl and the wood completed the experience, but also the warm welcome from Lize, Christof and the children. You can also cuddle with the donkeys and the chickens and take a lovely walk in the adjacent nature reserve.

A lovely place to relax in Arendonk. Beautifully located in the woods so that you can immediately start hiking from your camping spot. Spotting deer yourself is possible! The owners are very friendly people and are happy to assist you with advice and assistance. We were with a caravan and could even take electricity. We got a fire pit and wood and that really completed the camping experience.
There was 1 other family but that didn't bother us at all. The site is large enough for a few families so that you still have enough peace and quiet.
Highly recommended that definitely gets 5 stars! We will come back here again.
