This campsite near Ghent is primarily a base for visiting the city, with convenient access to public transport including bus line 11 and trains to Antwerp and Brussels. A free shuttle bus to the city center was available in some years but has been discontinued. The location within the recreational area 'De Blaarmeersen' offers a large lake suitable for swimming and sports, with a beach and walking trails. However, persistent traffic noise from a nearby ring road and train line is a major complaint, making it unsuitable for those seeking quiet. Sanitary facilities are consistently described as outdated and often dirty, with cold showers, blocked drains, and unpleasant odors. Pitches vary; some are spacious and screened with hedges, but many become extremely muddy after rain, leading to guest dissatisfaction. Electricity hookups are limited, requiring long cables, and power outages occur. The on-site pizza restaurant receives positive feedback but can be closed unexpectedly; a shop is absent after 2021. Staff friendliness is praised in some years but criticized as rude in others. The campsite is undergoing renovation and transitioning to a glamping focus, which has led to higher prices without corresponding improvements for standard campers. Value for money is poor, especially given the condition of facilities. WiFi is only available near the restaurant. The site is open year-round but strongly not recommended during wet weather.
