On the edge of the Hoge Kempen National Park, just across the border near the Flemish town of Maasmechelen, lies Recreation Resort Kikmolen. At this campsite you will find beautiful touring pitches on small grassy areas scattered throughout the wooded campsite. Walk or cycle directly from the campsite into the multifaceted nature park, or take a dip with your children in the large swimming lake with its water slides.

The campsite is located about 5 minutes from the A2 highway. Take exit 33 towards Lanaken and you will soon find yourself in the wooded area of the campsite. These forests are part of the Hoge Kempen National Park, the large Flemish nature reserve on the Kempen plateau. From the campsite, you can walk or cycle straight to the Hoge Kempen National Park.

Camping on small grassy fields

Most of this large campsite consists of permanent year-round sites. Nearly 130 more touring pitches are scattered around the campsite on separate grassy fields. Nice modern sanitary buildings with rooms for disabled people, baby rooms are close to the touring pitches.

Swimming in the natural pool

The extensive swimming lake at the front of the campsite is ideal for young swimmers or kids who can't yet swim (properly). Much of the lake is quite shallow, making it safe for even the youngest to swim.

Hoge Kempen National Park

From the campsite, you can walk or cycle straight to the Hoge Kempen National Park. There are some 200 kilometres of hiking trails in this more than 5,700-hectare nature reserve.

Travelling party: Group of friends

Liked - We stayed for a long weekend on a cycling trip so only really needed a place for the tent with access to showers. Upon arrival, the reception staff were able to speak enough English to check us in. The site seems popular with families owing to the pool/lake and water slides. We did see the cleaners attending to the shower block.
Disliked - Cash deposits are needed for both a car barrier key and also for the pay per minute shower key. The shower system is annoying, the one key provided is slotted into a meter at shower that turns it on and off when the key is removed. There were coin operated showers however this was not known until after we had placed the deposit for the key and loaded it with shower credit. The shower/toilet facilities are also tired

Liked - The calmness of the campsite
Disliked - To leave the Childrens indoor play park open all day ,, it was frustrating to have to ask each time for the door to be unlocked , and then always have to wait long periods for the Gentleman to arrrive to open / unlock the door and then he would complain to me about having to open / unlock the door doors

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - Great facilities and access to outdoor space
Disliked - Not the most dog friendly location, however no dogs beside the lake is a rule I understand.

The tag system for the hot water is a bit of a pain, I would rather just pay a little more as part of the reservation.
