An abundance of peace and greenery amidst fens, heather and forests. And besides nature, Flemish culture and ambiance is never far away. In addition, there are recreation lakes for the necessary water fun. These are the main advantages of camping at Baalse Hei in the Kempen.

From the reception you will reach the tent of caravan via grassy nature paths. The quietly located pitches can be more or less shaded, according to preference. Furthermore, they are equipped with water, electricity, drainage and cable television. In addition to these pitches, this campsite also has several types of rental accommodation: luxury mobile homes, safari tents and camping huts.

Lots of fun on the water

The three water bodies on this campsite provide lots of water fun amongst nature. First of all in the swimming pond near the bar/restaurant, with adjacent sandy beach and grassed area. You will also find a rowing and fishing pond. Further down the grounds there are play areas with swings, slides, walking bridges and shelters for the children. Adults will also have no difficulty keeping fit at Camping Baalse Hei with the sport fields and sporting facilities (soccer, tennis, table tennis, volley ball and petanque).

Regional beers

At the campsite you will be able to buy fresh bread. The tavern has a menu to appease both small and large appetites. If you prefer takeaway, you can find it at the Belgian Fry. Obviously, you will also find the well-known beers of this region here.

The numerous marked walking trails and cycling routes in the area are an invitation to explore the Antwerp Campines. With beautiful and interesting towns like Turnhout, Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges at relatively short distance, there is a plethora of day trips to choose from. Theme Park Bobbejaanland is only a 20 minute drive away.

Travelling party: Seniors

Op hun website staat dat men voor de rust naar de Baalse Hei moet komen en zodoende hebben
wij onze stacaravan verhuist v.d. kust naar hier. Daar hebben wij al dikwijls spijt van gehad dat wij
al die kosten en het vele werk gedaan hebben want het is hier alles behalve rustig.
Radio\'s en tv\'s die buiten staan te spelen en dan spreek ik nog niet v.d. feestjes die plaats vinden met de nodige muziekoverlast, terwijl dat dit volgens het reglement niet mag en als men daarover klaagt dan antwoord men naast de kwestie en doet men er niets aan. Er is gewoon geen toezicht en dus ook geen handhaving. Sinds de camping is overgenomen is het er niet beter op geworden, wat men hier nu meemaakt was bij de vorige eigenaars nooit mogelijk geweest. Wanneer je rust zoekt kom dan zeker niet naar de Baalse Hei!
