Peaceful green corner, completely off-the-grid with basic facilities. This is a place for retreats and rest, for that reason you cannot book with children younger than 12. Self-development and connection with nature are central here.
We have space for tents and campers and a yurt. As a camper, you can choose whether you prefer to stand in the clearing or between the trees.
The authentic Mongolian yurt is heated with a large wood stove. Outside you can make a campfire in the fire pit. There is a compost toilet and outdoor kitchen. However, there is no shower or bath yet, you can wash yourself in a plastic tub in the cozy 'toilet house' for the time being.
The nature reserve De Gratiebossen is nearby. And the Donkmeer is not far either. There you can sail with a boat, enjoy good food or visit the butterfly garden.
If desired, you can also book a relaxing massage. Feel free to message me for more information about this.
Campers longer than 5 meters are not recommended, as the entrance has a sharp bend, and the wheels can sink into the ground in rainy weather.

Hello, I would like to welcome you to my little paradise. I have specifically set up this spot for retreats and anyone who is looking for peace and quiet. You are close to everything and at the same time wonderfully isolated between the greenery. This piece of nature is steadily transforming into a food forest.

We were met by the sympathetic Karolien. We entered the yurt and it felt like a breath of fresh air! Relax completely in a warm cocoon, away from unnecessary stimuli. Complete zen experience!
Ecological, back to the essence, enjoy nature!
How was the contact with the host?
A gentle sweet Karolien came to meet us, even though we were a little later than originally agreed. She welcomed us with open arms. We got a short tour about the ins and outs. Everything fine and clear.

Wow, what a magical place! Wonderful to be able to camp in the winter, in an environment where you can walk very nicely. But not too much either, because it's so wonderful to just stay in the yurt and read and sit in front of the fire.

Ideal for disconnecting and refocusing.

The hostess is a very pleasant person.
I really found what I was looking for.
It's very rare to feel at home with others....but this was the case!
How was the contact with the host?
Karolien is a good listener who makes the effort to speak a language that is not usual for him.
When the feeling passes no need for long speeches.
Tips for new guests?
If you are looking for a place withdrawn from the off-grid nature, you will be satisfied.
Here there is no place for the superfluous or the Chi,Chi.

We camped with 3 for 1 quiet, warm autumn night in this lovely place of Karolien.
We built a campfire, visited some local geocaches, baked a burger on the barbecue and drank a few Chinese teas by the campfire. We eagerly made use of the outdoor kitchen and slept well in the pine forest. In the morning we got some coffee cakes in the village and we were given the freedom to pack and leave at our leisure.
The site has many different places (forest, open ground, campfire place, covered garden kitchen, bees, chickens, compost toilet/bathroom, ...). There is a lot more infrastructure than we expected, the kitchen has just about everything, it almost became glamping, with fresh drinks from the off-grid fridge and tea made on the gas fire. Everything is very neat and tidy and everything has been thought of.
We did not use the yurt, but it looks very cozy for people who prefer not to sleep in a tent.
How was the contact with the host?
Our online booking went very smoothly. Karolien welcomed us warmly and showed us around her site. Karolien is easily accessible for questions and a chat. Thank you for giving us a night of rest in your forest!
Tips for new guests?
Go here for the tranquility. We brought a few bags of firewood for the campfire. In the fridge in the kitchen you can keep some drinks and snacks cool during your stay.

We had a LOVELY stay at Karolien's forest. The yurt is amazing! Nicely decorated and super cozy. The mattresses are a little too soft for my liking but that's a matter of taste. As there are two mattresses in one bed they tend to drift apart and build a valley in the middle, but it didn't bother us too much. the yurt is really well isolated and got warm and cozy! The outdoor kitchen is well equipped. Karolien brought us drinking water, firewood was included aswell. The compost toilet was clean and neat and pleasant to use :-) We were even provided with some towels to wash (there's no shower yet, we just heated water to clean ourselves). I would've liked a curtain for the window though. We were the only guests so it was very quiet and we had a lot of privacy. It is not as off grid as we expected from the pictures but still very nice.
The place is still under construction, I know that Karolien is doing her best to make the space perfect :) Excited to see what's coming next!
All in all it was an amazing three-day-holiday, we enjoyed it thorougly and can only recommand it!
How was the contact with the host?
Karolien was a lovely host! She replied quickly and was super helpful. We had some change of plans but it wasn't a problem and Karolien was always understanding and friendly! She was always at our disposal for any questions. We could even check out late as the yurt wasn't booked right after our stay. Thank you, Karolien!

We brought pets along and we’re asked to leave them outside of the yurt. Personally I was uncomfortable with this as my dogs sleep inside. This should be stated in the ad ahead of time or the rules should be changed.
I remedied this by thoroughly cleaning when we checked out.

Text from the host: "I mentioned on my Campspace profile that the silence had to be respected + that your own garbage had to be taken with you. Two rules that you have ignored. As far as I'm concerned you should not come back." We arrived with our family of four.. we often book with airbnb and campspace. Almost all had good experiences .. Bit weird and rude reaction after. We sang 2 songs around the campfire and apparently the neighbours, who live tens of meters from our camp site, were disturbed by that, they will have to endure a lot more when you are fully operational. We did stop immediately after your text message. Forgot to mention? We did not take the garbage bag with us after the very heavy cloudburst that night. It was very wet and full of ants. That does not go in our car and there was no space provided on your property. Maybe a first point.. Too bad you literally tell us that we don't have to come back anymore, instead of friendly feedback..
How was the contact with the host?
Fairly quick response via campspace. In real life also short performances, afterwards received less nice reaction. This made us feel uncomfortable..
Tips for new guests?
Don't go here if you expect a nice piece of forest, because the terrain is still fallow
Not even if you make a little more than 10 decibels of noise..

Dear Cato,
all the campers who have already been here, and there are quite a few, have left everything clean, you are the only exception. Whatever excuse you may have to leave a full bag of unsorted waste, it seems respectful to report that instead of just leaving it silently behind.
It also seems obvious to me that singing loudly after midnight, in the midst of an oasis of tranquility, is unheard of. Also in this you are the only ones who seem not to understand this.
I have always been clear in communication that the site is in full development. Improvements are made every week. The provision of a waste point is still on the program, you knew this.
I leave all campers free on the site and give all privacy. Everyone can choose the time of arrival and departure themselves. I provide free water bottles if desired. I am also always available for questions or help. In other words, I really do everything I can to please everyone. But there are also limits. Out of respect for the place, the tranquility and myself, I would rather not receive the same border crossingers twice. Thanks for understanding.

It was a very pleasant reception. We were told we were the first guests. The personal vehicle could be parked on the plot and water bottles were provided. We were given a tour of the domain. Complete privacy was then given by Karolien.
The plot is a piece of forest under construction, currently a bit bare but this will only improve in the future. In the future, for example, a yurt, toilet and outdoor kitchen will be provided. Currently there are no amenities but that's just what makes it fun for me.
The forest borders a hiking trail but there is plenty of opportunity to sit out of sight. There is a large clearing to pitch the tent and make a campfire. However, you can place a tarp or tent between the trees in the forest.
There are many birds where you can really enjoy their singing.
Worth repeating!
