About this campspace

REST & NATURE spacious camping on the grounds of a 16th century castle farm (mentioned in Flandria Illustrata, Sanderus). Choose your own grass spot on the edge of the FOREST, with lots of SHADOW! or in our historic ORCHARD.

BACK to BASIC, a quiet place in the middle of nature, without much luxury.

Do you want to take a break and are you looking for a unique spot in the Westhoek to relax? We temporarily make our estate available for those who wish to camp in silence in a beautiful piece of nature.
With our micro-camping we offer a very limited number of camping spots with lots of space and tranquility. It is a meadow of 3 hectares with an orchard and a grove with many shady spots. You can choose your own spot. Outdoor overnight stay without luxury near the sea on the West Coast, the polders, the French border and Heuvelland. Only accessible after reservation.

Or are you looking for a place to camp privately in a group, with family or friends? That is also possible. A SEPARATE space, not visible to the others, is then kept free for the group. To guarantee peace and quiet, we do NOT mix groups with private places. Request your reservation below.

An unexpected green piece of nature with a wide view over the fields and the village church in the distance. The estate contains an orchard, a small grove and is completely surrounded by a hawthorn hedge, the favorite place of many birds. You can enjoy their singing talents and the sounds of nature. You often see hares, pheasants and partridges. And a beautiful sunset, moon and starry sky - if it's not too cloudy. Pure nature!

It refers to a former 16th century castle farm of which only a partly walled farmstead is still visible. It is located in the village of Beveren-aan-den-Ijzer which is part of the Westhoek, also called 'Bachten de Kupe' (with 'Kupe' one refers to the valley where the river Yser runs). A large part of this region is characterized by its wartime past. It is close to Ypres, Heuvelland, the art village of Watou, Veurne, Diksmuide, the Belgian West Coast and 100m from the border with Northern France, with Bergues and Cassel as beautiful places to visit. With a wooded and mountainous area on one side & the flat land towards the coast (the Moeren - reclaimed area in the 17th Century).

In addition to enjoying nature, you can also do many fun activities:
>Lovely cycling along cycling junctions
>Beautiful walking routes - eg the Dode Yzer walk can be started from here, approx. 18 km / Tweebergen walking route Heuvelland 7 km
>Lazing in a hammock in our grove (bring your own)
> Wooded area where you can spot deer
>Fishing on the Yser in Roesbrugge (1km)
>Canoeing on the Yser in Roesbrugge or from Diksmuide (15km)
>Boat trip on the Yser in Lo-Reninge, info De Hooipiete (10km)
> Zoo De Zonnegloed, Oost-Vleteren (10km) >Horse riding in Koksijde, Oostduinkerke or Rodeberg (20km)
>Walking in nature reserve De Westhoek (De Panne)
>Golf & sailing in Oostduinkerke & Nieuwpoort (20 km)
>Tourism on the West Coast (20km)
>Amusement parks Plopsaland and Bellewaerde (20km)
>Heuvelland with its beautiful landscape and wine estates Monteberg & Entre deux Monts : guided tour and wine tastings (20km)
>Many war sights in Ypres and surroundings (10km)
> Last Post Menin Gate Ypres, commemoration of fallen soldiers from WWI, daily at 8 pm
>Art village Watou & gallery Emergent in Veurne (10km)
>The best Trappist (abbey beer) in the world, to taste in the café/restaurant 'In de Vrede' of the Sint-Sixtus abbey in West-Vleteren (5 km) and buy a number of crates to take home! Always nice to surprise friends with it.
>Or visit the new brewery café of Bar Bernard. On the roof terrace you will be spoiled with a breathtaking view of the wide region around Watou (10 km).

Our village includes a café, a shop with farm products, a bread machine and within a radius of 10 km you will find a proxy delhaize (Proven), fresh bakery (Lo), bank machine (Proven), doctor (Vleteren), pharmacy (Roesbrugge) and cozy restaurants.

A real camper showers outside right? We installed a simple solar outdoor shower. This facility ensures that our guests touch the same surfaces as little as possible. A highly recommended facility by Campspace in corona times.
The site is remote. Accommodation very limited. A few mobile toilets with disinfectant spray are provided to guarantee comfort. If you have your own Porta Potti, you can always bring it with you.

If you come with your tent or (cara)van, normal use of water and electricity for small conveniences (mobile phone, water heater, coffee maker...) is included. If other appliances are connected (fridge, coolbox, etc.), an additional cost of 10 euros/n will be charged, payable locally upon arrival. Please report this in advance in your booking request and don't forget to bring an extension cable (100m or +). This way you have more options to choose your favorite place. We do not offer a charging point for a car.

Are you coming with your camping car (max 6m): Electricity tap is optional 20 euros/day, to be paid on site upon arrival. Please also mention this in your booking request. We do not offer a sanitation station. For discharge and branching of fresh water, etc., we would like to refer you to a fully equipped sani point / car wash nearby in Hondschoote (France 2 km).

Tell us about your experience
We had a great time there. The host is very friendly. the toilet and shower may be a bit basic, but any doubts quickly disappear when you see the landscape. It is a beautiful meadow with a good portion of shade. You almost feel alone there, other campers are 100m or more away. You can camp anywhere you want. A really great place and we will definitely go back. I'm even thinking of going back in a few weeks

During my stay at Nadine's Campspace I was able to rest and enjoy the beautiful nature! The space offers plenty of parking options and privacy, while it has one of the best sunset view's in the area. †

How was the contact with the host?
Nadine was very friendly and welcoming. She took the time to welcome me and get to know me personally.

This is a beautiful campspace for those who love the countryside, nature, the vastness of the landscape. And for those who love France, because you are right on the border. The place itself is very spacious, neat and sober and you will receive a friendly welcome.

If you like the wide open space of Flanders' fields and the proximity of France, you should come to this campspace in the countryside close to the border. The spot itself is very spacious, clean and simple with a friendly welcoming....

How was the contact with the host?
Simple, practical and cozy....

Het was de eerste keer dat we voor een nachtje kamperen niet naar de Ardennen gingen, maar Noordwaarts trokken. Op het moment dat we het veld zagen wisten we dat we een goede keuze gemaakt hadden. Wat een prachtige plek; rust, natuur, een prachtig panorama, een fantastische zonsondergang, een zalige outdoor-douche, de Franse kust op 25 min rijden en als kers op de taart de gallopeerende paarden in de nabijgelegen weide. We kijken ernaar uit gauw terug te keren!

Calm spot. There is little comfort, only water, a shower and electricity. You can enjoy birds and the sunset. A wonderful place to quietly enjoy nature.

A very nice place, lots of space with a panoramic view...basic facility with outdoor shower - nice and refreshing or chilly, it's a surprise! - and toilet cubicles. Peace, birds everywhere, horses in the surrounding meadows, plenty in the green surroundings with the Yser in the first kilometers on Belgian soil nearby. Village centers of Beveren and Roesbrugge in the vicinity. Pleasant owners, smooth appointments.

How was the contact with the host?
Fast, smooth and friendly, but also at a distance... camping spots and home owners far from each other, so each other's privacy remains intact. Good tips about the area and what to do. Let the meadows take their course, not artificially constructed plots.

Tips for new guests?
Sunset with a view of the French-Flemish border region
Bread machine in Beveren, bread sale in supermarket in Roesbrugge.
Located on many walking routes and cycling junctions, less suitable for those who want to view Poperinge and Ypres up close.
Be sure to cycle or walk across the border...

Host nadine has responded

Thank you for your stay and glad you enjoyed it!
We are located in an agricultural / rural area and with its specific regulations, we can only offer the basic needs. The water in the shower is heated by the sun, so the temperature is not always the same. Back to basics. Enjoy, along with nature.
Beveren-aan-den-Ijzer is a tiny village centrally located between Poperinge - 15 km and Heuvelland, Ypres, Diksmuide, West Coast - all at 25 km. Ideal as a base for walking, cycling in the different directions or to move around short distances by car and explore the different places up close.

Host nadine has responded

Hi Robbie,

However, we try to describe everything very well in the text and photos. It is about simplicity, silence and purity. Feeling at home and de-stressing in a unique and well-maintained domain, where only the most necessary utilities are installed where possible. Back to basics. Slow living, along with the rhythm of nature. And this in a region full of views, the National Park of the Westhoek.

Pure nature has become a luxury. And this is what we stand for with our camping spot.
But maybe you had more expectations of a really equipped campsite with more facilities, a smaller surface, more populated and closer together, without the pure nature experience but with more entertainment.
We are therefore very sorry that you did not camp in a place that you were looking forward to.

Regards,
nadine

Pieter

Tell us about your experience
Wide camping it is certainly because it is a very beautiful and especially spacious area. However, this campsite offers virtually no sanitary facilities. The toilets are 2 mobile units (which were not maintained during our stay) and the shower option is a cold shower in the open air, next to a parking lot (owned by the owner). In our opinion, this campsite sells itself very expensive. The high price you pay only applies to the wide feeling.

How was the contact with the host?
The host came to report on our arrival that we had to pay another 10 euros per night for electricity. It was agreed to arrange this by bank transfer. In the following hour, 2 reminders were sent to hand over a proof of payment. There was no confidence here at all.

Tips for new guests?
Only camp here in warm weather. If after a day of cycling in this beautiful region you have to shower with cold water and in the open air, without any form of shelter, this is not really nice.

July 2023 · Translated from dutch

Host nadine has responded

Peter,
We are glad that you liked the site very much. That's why we open it up. We are therefore sorry that you did not have good weather. Wild camping is never fun in that case. Unfortunately we can't do anything about that. You can cancel via campspace until just before arrival. We also provide all information about the stay in advance so that you are not faced with any surprises. You were also sufficiently informed about the electricity and you absolutely did not have to connect. However, you did not honor the agreement and we only reminded you the next day (and not after two hours). We have 2 mobile toilets with weekly maintenance. This is more than enough for the few reserved spots. Your statement is absolutely incorrect. The price correct for the unique location and open space. You may have missed the fact that we have to maintain everything. And that the larger the site, the more maintenance costs there are. And that we allow very little accommodation and that there is 10,000 m2 of space for each. You were very distant when we first met and we respected that. We are sorry that you are now attributing this to us. You have also caused damage, which we deeply regret.

Very nice place! Unfortunately not good value for money. €70/night for only cold water shower (1 for the whole campsite) and a Dixi. It is a pity that it is indicated that a hot shower is possible, because we have not experienced a single x.

How was the contact with the host?
Good.

Tips for new guests?
If you don't mind taking a cold shower in any weather, this is a nice place to camp. Unfortunately we didn't think it was worth the money.

August 2022 · Translated from dutch

Host nadine has responded

The price is 20 euros and not 70 euros. The text clearly states that we offer outdoor overnight stays without luxury and that there is a mobile toilet and solar shower. The water is heated by the sun, along with nature. Someone recently sent me 'lovely shower'. We regret that you did not experience this. But maybe it's because of the extreme heat and that you didn't feel the heated water. Glad you liked the place. Everyone can stay there peacefully, very far from each other, as it were a private place.




Unique nature spots are not easy to find. The moment you were there, other lodgings had thanked me for opening up our beautiful domain and allowing them to camp there. I surveyed them for the basic plumbing and this was absolutely sufficient for them. They were grateful to me and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sunset, shooting stars and then the blood moon came up. Unforgettable they said. And they will come back. And that's why we do it. For those who want to step out of their comfort zone and enjoy nature to the fullest. Back to basics. Where it all started.

Hi Ben,

Each camp space has its own individuality. Nobody is professional. Everyone approaches it in his own way, the way he sees the beautiful things in life. And that's the fun of it. To avoid all misunderstandings and to clarify our 'back to basics, enjoy with nature' approach, we have added a very detailed text.

But you hadn't read the accompanying text - you told us that when you arrived. That's why you expected something that wasn't there and your review is wrong. There are 2 portable toilets, well known to you. These are cleaned twice a week and are equipped with disinfectant spray. During your stay 3 campers stayed here. Someone also brought their own porta potti. So they couldn't possibly have been dirty. However, there is no running water. That is also not possible because they are in the meadow, located in an agricultural area. This entails limitations in terms of comfort, no installation of underground pipes allowed - we installed electricity above ground, but this does ensure a unique location with a beautiful nature experience - as you yourself indicated. A curtain is provided for privacy in the shower. This can't be a problem.

Hereby reaction from camper William during your stay. 'I had a good stay at your domain. Everything went well. Maybe till next time.'

We understand your frustration but regret that it has to be this way. When you left early you sent a message 'Dear Nadine, we had to leave earlier than planned. Best Regards. Ben and Kris'. I was thinking of a family reason. And then three weeks later this negative review. We live in an age of openness and we are certainly open to criticism. We can only learn from it. But this is sneaky. As a classic 65+ visitor you bring the rating down with this and you are not punishing me, because I can refute it, but the people who would certainly have a good time here. Because there are already many.

I hope this has made the concept of campspace clear to you. It is not a chain of 1 owner with all the same experiences, but a very diverse range of camping in nature. Especially for open-minded people.

Stayed 3 nights
+ spacious place
- low quality toilets, I felt like a construction worker
- bad shower, very provisionally put together, leaking tap, despite the warm weather no hot water with the solar panels, only showered in a stone cold so brrrr
- An extractor fan can be heard from the neighboring farm all day long
- on the day of departure, the smell of manure was not very nice

How was the contact with the host?
Nadine is a nice and fun hostess. She came to my place at the appointed time to get acquainted

Find a campsite with more comfort. E22 for such poor facilities is expensive

August 2023 · Translated from dutch

Host nadine has responded

Hi René, it's a shame you wrote this down like that. The domain is 4 hectares, large enough to choose a quiet place. There is even a bush and many hedges to sit behind. But no. You chose near the toilets, the entrance and the one neighbor we have. Nobody sits there on that 10m2. There is a choice of 40,000 m2. It doesn't say anywhere that we have a shower with solar panels. The water is heated by the sun and many people appreciate that. Since we offer the possibility to camp almost wild in an agricultural area, we do not have the possibility to provide toilets with running water. Everything is described in the booking. But you haven't read it. On the contrary. You called me in the evenings and on Sundays for an explanation. Nobody does this except you. I also allowed your dog when we normally don't. No appreciation for this… You think everything is normal. You gave me everything to pick up the dog while I cleaned up a lot myself... yuck. I don't think it's correct. Sorry. I'm sorry I answered your question. It's easy to pick the worst place and then criticize.
