About this location
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).
