  • 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 woodland campsite offers spacious pitches and a peaceful atmosphere, with many enjoying the natural surroundings and proximity to walking and cycling routes. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are frequently praised as clean and modern. The on-site restaurant is highlighted as excellent. Some guests experienced noise from the bar area, and the approach road can be muddy. Management acknowledges the balance between conviviality and tranquility.

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

Liked Size of the pitches gave plenty of room

Disliked Unmade road approach with many bad patches
Being in the middle of the forest felt like you had been abandoned there
Horrendous thunder storm and lightning, quite scary at times. Not their fault.
Restaurant was closed the night I was there
Caravan after one night was filthy from the paths and overhanging trees. Not a good bad weather site

From the manager: Soms krijg je feedback waar je even over nadenkt… 🌿

“Daar ga je met je rustige camping…”

En eerlijk? Op een camping midden in het leven horen soms ook spontane momenten bij. Een goed gesprek op het terras, een groepje locals dat geniet van een drankje, gelach op de achtergrond… 🍷☀️

Wij blijven elke dag zoeken naar de juiste balans tussen gezelligheid én rust. Want uiteindelijk willen we vooral een plek zijn waar mensen zich welkom voelen — gasten, buren én voorbijgangers.

En geloof ons: zodra de zon ondergaat, hoor je hier meestal weer gewoon de vogels. 🐦💚

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

Liked Volop ruimte, privacy, prachtig vogelgezang bij zonsopgang, zelfs het kraaien van een haan of het kakelen van kippen stoorde ons niet, maar deed ons juist denken aan onze kindertijd.

Disliked WasTe weinig dagen om uit te rusten, maar dat is mijn eigen fout.

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

Liked Blij met de mooie plek in de natuur. Op korte afstand van mijn stalling. Dus de mogelijkheid voor mij om een extra ritje om alle spullen thuis te krijgen zonder parkeren voor mijn huis. Twee nachten met daartussenin een dag om de caravan schoon te maken van de vakantie.Verder is jullie camping comfortabel en prachtig gelegen. Dit was niet de laatste keer!

Disliked Geen.

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

Liked The campsite is set in the woods, with some great cycle tracks to local towns, all sign-posted, even stumbled on a small lake, and a few skiers.

On arrival I eventually discovered the ablutions, which was unisex but more female biased, with a hair-wash room. Men generally accompanied their other halves (women) to the ablutions, just in-case they were raped in the shower or something, although most of them were elderly.

The bar girl was very nice and chatty, she spoke English well, and was able to offer some house beer as well as some fine Belgium beer. There's not much else to do at night and most campers just get steadily drunk until closing, half a pint at a time.

The campsite was close to a main town, Lille, which gave me my first impression of Belgium, efficient and organised. Prices were reasonable except when it came to meat products, so I stuck to Russian sausage.

Disliked I found staff to be friendly, however when coming back one day I discovered my bicycle lock had been tampered with. I couldn't unlock it which may have been a sin in the first place, just taking security precautions. I did have a sense that there was not much security, it was close to the dirt road which had no street lights.

I couldn't work out if the tampering of my bike lock was one of the campers that arrived on my last day, or had been a member of staff.

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

Liked Lovely forested setting with a large sized tent pitch.

Staff were friendly.

Disliked The bar/restaurant was close to the pitches and was occupied by many people enjoying a meal and drinks. I'm all about having a good time but sadly it was very loud for those wishing to sleep.

The washing up/shower/toilet facilities were generally pleasant but quite cramped for the number of guests present.

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.

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).
