  • Laidback Spanish-influenced Flanders campsite among pine forests
  • Half an hour's drive to Antwerp; 20 minutes to Bobbejaanland
  • Bar, tapas restaurant, playground and kids' activities on site
The name is Spanish, but the setting is Flemish… and the two come together to create a most delightful place to stay at Camping Siesta, surrounded by the pine forests of the Antwerp Kempen five minutes from Lille (the Belgian Lille, not the French one). The Spanish influence is perhaps most noticeable in the restaurant La Cantina, which opens on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for a menu of tapas (with the costillas – ribs – a particular highlight) washed down with jugs of sangria and set to the soundtrack of a live flamenco guitarist. The laidback atmosphere gives a nod to the southern lifestyle too, and there are plenty of lovely spots where you can have a well-earned siesta while breathing in the scents of the pine trees. Much of the rest of the place is the full Flanders experience – from games of pétanque with your new neighbours to taking a walk on the trails that wind themselves through the forest next door, and of course finishing the day with a local golden beer. Kids are very welcome here, and can busy themselves clambering on the climbing frames at the playground or joining a forest safari with the site’s own woodland ranger (warning: they tend to get happily mucky on these activities, so send them off in an outfit you don’t mind getting dirty…) In between your forest forays, there are plenty of places nearby for days out – a trip to Antwerp (half an hour’s drive) is a must for many guests, and families often have a fabulous time at Bobbejaanland, 20 minutes away.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its quiet, woodland setting with spacious pitches and excellent, clean facilities, including showers. Guests appreciated the friendly staff and convenient location for exploring nearby towns and cycling routes. Some noted issues with unisex facilities, muddy pitches after rain, and occasional noise from neighbours. The on-site pizza was a hit, though the snack bar opening times varied.

Kayo M.

Electric grass and sand tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked De rustige omgeving, de goede nutsvoorzieningen en de extra services.

Disliked Nachtlawaai door buren die van het festival terugkeren en tot 2u 's ochtends zaten te babbelen, zonder rekening te houden met de omstaanders.

De Cantina was enkel open tijdens het weekend, ondanks dat het (heel) goed weer was en er vermeld was dat het open zou zijn in de week en met goed weer.

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked De plek was geweldig! Direct zicht op de speeltuin en in een bosrijke omgeving. Weinig omgevingsgeluiden en een onwijs goed onderhouden sanitair gebouw. Hele vriendelijke bediening bij het tapas restaurant en gastvrije sfeer. Bijzonder diner op een steen en heerlijke desserts. Voor de kids er een menu met nuggets, altijd een hit!

Disliked Niet blij is een groot woord! Maar de zwemvijver was erg groen en in de volle zon, daarom durfde wij het niet aan om onze kids hierin te laten zwemmen. Was meer een aangelegd meertje om even te pootje baaien ipv volledig te zwemmen. De camping zou helemaal af zijn met een zwembad voor ons! Jammer dat je er niet een tosti of broodje als lunch kunt scoren maar de camping kan niet alles hebben!

Electric grass and sand tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Mooie plek in het bos, wij hadden een schaduwplek met 30 graden! Heel fijn.

Disliked Jammer dat de bar in het hoogseizoen niet alle dagen open is.
Toiletpapier gaat er snel doorheen als de camping goed bezet is.

Gemma D.

Electric grass and sand tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Nice, level pitch, although it felt a little small. Good for children with a play park including a trampoline, which ours loved. Situated next to woodland which is great for a morning/evening stroll. The shower block has great, clean showers including a baby shower/bath room.

Disliked The toilets often didn’t have any paper, and there are only two ladies toilets which means some waiting during busy times. This wasn’t too often though.

Local attractions

Even if it’s the forest frolics that are the main focus of your holiday, you should take some time away for a trip to Antwerp (half an hour’s drive). It’s really a fabulous city, with attractions including a chocolate museum, a brewery and lots of museums, including the excellent Rubens House. Antwerp is also home to one of the oldest zoos in Europe, and a whole district of glittering diamond shops. For those of you with kids, Bobbejaanland (20 minutes) is a top day out, with lots of rides, shows and themed areas to explore. There are also lots of fun things for kids to do at De Lilse Bergen amusement park (10 minutes), or they can spend hours splashing about in the outdoor and subtropical pools at Netepark (15 minutes). If you’d rather stick to lots of outdoor time, plan things like walks in the Landschap Liereman (25 minutes) or go paddleboarding from Herentals (20 minutes).
