Come camp in my quiet meadow between the trees, with a wide view of the fields and the sunset. Birds around you, the necessary facilities, large campfire place, regional beers in the fridge. Great base for numerous trips - to the coast, the Blankaart nature reserve and the nearby city of Diksmuide.

On the large camping meadow you sleep between the trees, and you are accompanied by hares, rabbits and pheasants!

There is electricity for a fee (3 eu / night 2 persons, from 3rd press there will be an additional EUR each time) with the help of extension cables that you can bring yourself, wood available, (not free) extra garbage bags available. You can also book a spacious Pagoda tent of 36m2.
I myself have two dogs in a fenced yard.

SILVESTRE

Tell us about your experience
Very well equipped small campsite. Solid sorting of bins with compost, correct sanitary facilities, a shower, a toilet, a washbasin and a sink but that's okay, it's a mini campsite. The cleaning is well done.
Bike paths everywhere.
Only one small downside, a somewhat indelicate farmer neighbor.

How was the contact with the host?
The welcome is friendly, everything is explained and in French.
The week was a bit rainy (the only one in the summer!) and Gerdi came several times to check if we needed anything.
The terrain is great.
A few drinks available in the fridge and it's cool when you arrive.

For the first time I went camping alone and I really enjoyed it. I specifically chose a place far away from where I live. A challenge that I was looking forward to and secretly also a bit afraid of. Although those worries were unnecessary and you will understand that when you arrive there. I was immediately sold and in love with the site. The campsite is an oasis of peace, beautiful vast landscapes, beautiful pieces of land to place your tent and a super friendly host who makes you feel at home. In addition to the beautiful domain, there is everything you need on site. You can take a hot shower, you can easily do the dishes, there is a pleasant toilet and never too many people, so you don't have to wait anywhere. Recycling and attention is paid to the environment, which is very important to me. It also seems like a great place to come with friends, you can sit around the campfire and do a lot of things in the neighborhood. In the end I didn't do that myself, because I needed rest and rest ;)

How was the contact with the host?
Super! Very friendly, social and loving man.

Nice place, quiet location. Perfect for discovering the region by bike. Located close to the cycle route network, and thanks to the flat environment you can quickly reach Ypres, Diksmuide, ...
Plumbing was basic but clean, lots of space on the location to find a place, children can also play well. Highly recommended.

How was the contact with the host?
Smooth communication, quick response, friendly.

Tips for new guests?
Bring a bike if you can, so you can explore the area.

Tell us about your experience
A lovely quiet and rural site without the rigours of a strict pitch and site setup, just perfect. Shower was very warm and drinking water was provided for us by the host. Lots of recycling opportunities so one bag was fine for rubbish. Only thing that would help was an outdoor tap for filling up.

How was the contact with the host?
Gerdi was very friendly and was very helpful.

Tips for new guests?
Pitch where you fancy (noting the electric is by the recycling area to the right of the fire area) and Gerdi will be along to welcome you.

Hi Tony
Thanks for the nice review, unfortunately there will be no outside tap to keep the price low, another nice Tour de France to you and thanks for staying here.

Nice place to camp between the pollard willows. View of the fields. Quiet fellow campers.
Do not expect luxury, but very 'basic' sanitary facilities. The toilet was always clean, that was all for me.

How was the contact with the host?
Gerdi is a friendly host. I made a last minute reservation and got a quick response.
In the evening Gerdi does a tour with his guests to give information and have a chat.

Tips for new guests?
As mentioned in the reviews, you can hear the traffic from the adjacent road and the activities of the farms. But the chirping of the birds in the morning more than makes up for it.

2 night stay over 4 dangen time, we liked it so much we came back on the way back. Very friendly welcome by Gerdi and good communication. Everything is provided and well cared for. Spacious sink with hot water for washing dishes, hot shower and good toilet. Beautiful camping spot between the trees and birds. We strongly recommend this place. Only small downside: the track is close by and is slightly audible in the morning and evening.

How was the contact with the host?

Tell us about your experience
Campsite was small, but pleasant environment for us. Nice view. Cycling is less fun in Belgium because you always cycle along the road. Beautiful cities Ypres and Diksmuide a nice walking area nearby. Unfortunately, the farmers were busy until late in the evening. Still, it's nice to be able to do that.

How was the contact with the host?
Gerdi was very friendly and helpful. Beers in the fridge. Good shower and toilet. Good electricity. Overall, we had a great time and the weather was fantastic.

Tips for new guests?
The long cycle path fortzate is beautiful but starts at the supermarket and not at the museum.

Camping as it should be. A field for me alone with a panoramic view. Sunset from your seat. Trees, buttercups and a donkey as a neighbor. Fridge with St. Bernard! In addition, all kinds of facilities, but you can already read that in the description. Great place!

How was the contact with the host?
Nice sincere host who wants to maintain his site well and has a heart for camping.

Tips for new guests?
If you want to be in the farthest corner of the donkey, it might be a long way to the toilet. (Very is also relative) Your own facility can be practical, especially at night.

Tell us about your experience
A piece of heaven on earth, there in Klerken. It is a wonderful place to sit with a beautiful view of the West Flemish fields. We were a group of 13 people, had a lot of tents with us. We got the barbecue for the evening and could enjoy the fire pit all evening / night. There were two more guests on the property next to us, but it's big enough to be spread out. We also had a dog who isn't great with other dogs, but we were able to crawl far enough that they couldn't disturb each other. There are sanitary facilities, a hot shower, drinkable water, a fridge on the site... In short, everything you need. In the neighborhood you have nice walking routes, a great cafe with folk games (30 min. walk), a beautiful nature reserve, the beautiful Diksmuide ... Highly recommended!

How was the contact with the host?
Gerdi welcomed us with open arms. He responded quickly to all our questions in advance and was also available during our stay. He was flexible with any changes or questions. Top guy!

Tips for new guests?
Don't hesitate too much, just book here! There are some hyperactive birds on the property that make a lot of noise in the morning.
