Come and enjoy the vast forests here in the Antwerp Kempen. From your camping pitch you have an ideal base for many wonderful walking or cycling trips. If you prefer to enjoy the peace and quiet, you will probably find a nice spot close to or on your camping spot. Ask the owners about the local assets because they are certainly there. For the sporty holidaymaker and/or the quieter, there are many beautiful, interesting places to discover.
On the camping site itself you can find peace and breathe in the wonderful scent of the forest. Would you like an egg and/or a jar of honey or jam for breakfast? Your host and hostess will gladly offer it to you. Most of it comes from our own garden. In the evening you can enjoy the sounds of the forest here: the song thrush with its evening song, a grunting woodcock that flies 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.
Ideal starting point for walking and cycling: Hoge Vijverbossen in Arendonk, Regional Forests in Ravels, Landscape De Liereman in Oud-Turnhout, Turnhouts Vennengebied in Turnhout.
Within a short walking distance is 'de Wouwershoeve' with a flower picking garden, tea house, ... More information via the Talander website.

Christof and Lize have a spacious plot where you can stand in the beech avenue as well as on the meadow. We enjoyed the nice and beautiful place in the middle of the forest.
The peace and quiet was a blessing. It was very hot and dry and of course the neighbors will moisten their crops with a water cannon, but we didn't find that a problem at all. Waking up in the morning to a cackling rooster and clucking chickens is a real pleasure.
How was the contact with the host?
We were warmly welcomed and were allowed to choose a spot ourselves. They are a nice and cordial couple, who value the tranquility of campers.
Tips for new guests?
It is a beautiful area for cycling and walking, with the junctions very close.
There is running (cold) water, a compost toilet that does not smell, the sawdust you use smells delicious. There is also no shower.

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.

After a day of geocaching I chose this place to spend my night on this site . The roof tent was set up fairly quickly.

The fire pit was lit and with this it was great fun on this site

To describe the contact , I had sent a message asking if we could already put 1 car on the site , unfortunately that remained unanswered for quite a while.

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.
