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!

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
