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. 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. Here you will see mainly tents, caravans and (mini) campers. 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.

Enjoy Belgian beers and delicious pizza in our cosy brown cafe!

We are Mihai and Liesbeth, the owners of this idyllic campsite in Esneux, just behind Liège/Lüttich. Welcome!

WHAT DO OUR GUESTS SAY?

Panorama from the ‘Roche aux Faucons – the Falcon Rock’ with a view of ‘la Boucle de l’Ourthe – the Bend of the Ourthe’ nature reserve, right next to the campsite.

The Ourthe at the back of the campsite ~ the river is lovely to watch and to swim in

Les Murets is a back-to-basic nature campsite** where tranquillity and conviviality are paramount.

Lovely sleep!

Unique location

17km south of Liège, 140km from Köln, 300km from Calais
view of the ‘Grand Site de la Boucle de l’Ourthe’ nature reserve, our immediate neighbour
hiking and cycling routes from the campsite with beautiful views
near swimming water – in the river Ourthe
at the foot of ‘la Roche aux Faucons – the Falcon Rock’ (224m altitude), the climb to this panoramic view is known as the final slope of the cycling classic Liège-Bastogne-Liège
HONY station (at 350m) ↔ Liège station (Guillemins) in just 16 min! The area is definitely special yet not very touristy. By train you can go south into the Ardennes to busier tourist areas, where you can also kayak, to return in the evening to the quiet of our campsite….

Who comes?

We are visited by people alone, people together in all ages, families, divers, climbers, cyclists, hikers, fishermen, visitors of flea markets, people who have been coming here for 50 years or who are just discovering the place…People who are passing through (and then stay longer 🙂 ), people who want to spend a weekend or a longer holiday here… People who come especially for the city of Liège, people who have fallen in love with this magical place…People who love nature and enjoy silence, people who want nothing at all except rest and a good book by the tent….

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

Our campsite is located on the banks of the river Ourthe, in the picturesque village of Hony, 4130 Esneux, 17km south of Liège, on the edge of a nature reserve. ©Ruth Swart
