Arrival from 13-21h except on Mondays until 17h. No pizza on Mondays.
CAMPERVANS and CARAVANS can be max. 6m long. So unfortunately, large campers and caravans longer than 6m can not stay with us. Our campsite, with narrow paths, many hedges and old trees, is better suited to ‘small’ camping.

Peaceful nature campsite at the gateway to the Ardennes ~ on the banks of the river Ourthe ~ 17km south of vibrant Liège ~ rustic charm ~ magical place next to a nature reserve ~ good old-fashioned camping that makes you happy!
Camping Les Murets in the village of Hony is the campsite closest to the city of Liège (17 km south) and the only campsite in 4130 Esneux. The small Hony station is 350m from the campsite, ideal for visiting Liège or heading south into the Ardennes. Flat hiking and cycling from the campsite or steeper into the hills. Lovely swimming and paddling in the Ourthe. Idyllic summer terrace with snacks and pizza every day! Large grassy playing field for young and old. On the 73 pitches, you will see a nice mix of tents, caravans and small camper vans. For hikers on foot, by bike or by train, there is always room! We are right on the Ravel de l’Ourthe, between cycle junction 22 and 23.
Follow us on & for great adventures!
Liesbeth & Mihai, the campsite owners, and Billie, the campsite dog, give you a warm welcome!

Conviviality on the terrace
Delightful doing nothing overlooking the nature reserve
Small fire on the terrace
Cyclists and hikers passing through can take shelter and cook under the star tent in rainy weather. Or eat pizza in the bar, of course ;-).
First play, then BBQ and end the evening with a campfire…
Happy friends
