About this campspace

The camping meadow is very spacious and very remote. There is a large swimming pond, lots of open space (meadow) and it is very quiet. Partly because we offer only 8 spots, everyone has plenty of space and privacy. Upon arrival you are completely free to install your tent, camper, caravan, etc.
The donkeys and the horse are in the front meadow, away from the campers but still accessible.
There is a fully equipped kitchen, toilet, hot shower, sink and a very spacious and very cozy room where you can relax (including 2 billiards, tables for breakfast/lunch, piano, sitting area with lots of comics and board games).
There are fire pits and wood available to make a cozy campfire at your spot.
Next season there will be a bar in the room where you can enjoy pleasant evenings, a covered outdoor area with picnic tables and a general campfire circle that will provide opportunities for people to meet. A sauna for up to 4 people and a glamping tent with made-up beds are also coming.

Perfect for...

People who love nature and peace, lovers of animals (donkeys, horses, chickens, cats)

Beautiful location with everything you need. A house to relax in and a beautiful garden with swimming pond to enjoy nature.

How was the contact with the host?
An incredibly pleasant and warm contact with Ria. I thoroughly enjoyed her stories (and her bag of soup). Definitely recommended, someone with his heart in the right place.

Very warm welcome, we immediately felt at ease with Ria.
The relaxation room has books, games, billiards and plenty of room to take shelter indoors in bad weather. Together with the comfortable kitchen (microwave, hob, oven) and refrigerator that you can use, they transform this camping experience into a luxurious stay :)
We will definitely come back because the swimming pond looked really lovely (unfortunately it was too cold for us to swim in November)

How was the contact with the host?
very correct, received sufficient information in advance. super.

Tips for new guests?
highly recommended.

We had a nice late summer stay with our tent. The kitchen, sanitary facilities and meeting room made it extra comfortable now that the days are getting shorter. The dip in the swimming pond after our walk was super refreshing.

How was the contact with the host?
The contact with Ria was great! Ria is friendly, welcomed us warmly and regularly checked whether everything was OK. She also shared many tips about the area. We are really looking forward to coming again.

Tips for new guests?
The campspace is located in a surprisingly beautiful region. Damme, Bruges, Middelburg, Sluis,... are very close. Beautiful region for walking and cycling or for something more adventurous, for example with a packraft.

Very beautiful and luxurious camping spot. I was there with my 6-year-old daughter. We camped in our camper box. We really enjoyed the swimming pond. We were allowed to use a refrigerator and freezer. We also had toilet, kitchen and bathroom available.

How was the contact with the host?
Ria was super friendly, we could ask her anything and my daughter loved being able to feed the donkeys and the horse with her. top reception!!

It was a prime location, a super pleasant field with enough space for each other's privacy. The swimming pond is a priceless double plus to the stay.
Thank you Ria, Jakob and Marie-Sophie.

Green campsite. A beautiful lawn and a lovely swimming pond. It's nice that there is a building with a shower, toilet, kitchen and sitting area. There is also a refrigerator with freezer for tent campers.

How was the contact with the host?
A warm welcome. Very friendly. A chat from time to time. Come by every day to check if everything is okay.

Tips for new guests?
Beautiful walking and cycling environment. Coffee, food and drinks at Moco Loco (nice atmosphere, bit of an alternative) and Convent St Clara (delicious home-baked cakes). Both in Middelburg.

We enjoyed it immensely! It is a beautiful place that radiates peace and conviviality. Ria & her son really made our stay, are super friendly and think along with us a lot. It is a place if you like a luxurious form of camping. There is a spacious kitchen, a nice bathroom and especially the swimming pond is clean and wonderful to cool off in. When I forgot my bikini, Ria had already sent it to my home address the next day. Definitely a place to return to and we look back on it with great pleasure

How was the contact with the host?
Very pleasant, helpful and hospitable. Ria came by every now and then but was also able to let us do our own thing

Tips for new guests?
You don't have to bring chairs and a gas tank, think of it as a glamping.

It is fifteen minutes to Knokke & Bruges. Both highly recommended to spend an afternoon

It was our first experience with campspace and it was an immediate hit. The description was exactly correct and the campsite fully met what we were looking for: peace, space, nature and yet ample basic comfort. All this in a beautiful environment with many walking and cycling opportunities.

How was the contact with the host?
Super friendly people, both Ria and her son Bart. The welcome is warm with a detailed explanation of the site and the relaxation options. Ria and Bart are also very attentive and catch questions before you can ask them.

Tips for new guests?
The swimming pond is a great asset for this campspace. And if the weather is bad, there is a large room (actually a converted stable, but you won't notice it) with billiards, etc.

Very nice, well-kept garden with beautifully landscaped swimming pond. There is enough space to set up your tent. There is a shower, toilet and kitchen available to guests. In case of bad weather, there is also a large, cozy room to eat or relax. There are donkeys, a horse, chickens and a cat. The hostess makes an extra effort to spoil the children. Top!

How was the contact with the host?
Very smooth contact. Good communication!

Tips for new guests?
There are not that many shops nearby. Those traveling by bicycle or on foot should take this into account.
ice cream parlor across the street (50m to the left) is very good.
Don't forget your swimming gear!

We arrived and were immediately impressed by the super beautiful place at Ria. We were quietly secluded and could use a well-equipped kitchen, bathroom, large swimming pond and a super nice and large relaxation area, in other words we certainly had nothing short of anything. Ria and Bart were super friendly and you could ask them anything. When we saw them we usually chatted and that was always super pleasant. We loved staying here, will definitely come back and definitely recommend this place. Many greetings to Ria and Bart! Regards Robbe, Corneel and Sebastien.

Just spent 2 nights at Ria's place and highly recommend going to her place 🙏
I was lucky to have the sun and I was able to take advantage of it to swim in its natural pool/pond. Taking a good hot shower afterwards was also a real pleasure 🤗
I really enjoyed chatting with Ria who is very attentive, helpful and discreet, thank you again for your welcome Ria.
The other campers were also friendly and it was nice to share a coffee together in the morning or to meet together in the kitchen or in the living room.
I will return with pleasure 🙏
See you soon
