  • Peaceful and lush site in the garden of a former monastery in Wallonia
  • Pairi Daiza zoo half an hour’s drive; an hour to Ghent
  • Dogs welcome; close to hiking and cycling trails; meals on request
The well-maintained garden of a former monastery in Wallonia, north-western Belgium, is the setting for the La Divine Providence. And don’t worry: owners Lieven and Maya will not want to see your religious credentials before opening the doors of this peaceful site to you. Everybody is welcome, and that includes families, bikers and single-sex groups – and their dogs. The site is set in a lush six-acre park dotted with trees (and therefore plenty of shade) in a splendidly rural area on the outskirts of Wodecq, which is less than a kilometre away, should you wish to stretch your legs or go for a meal. There are a couple of restaurants in the village, one of them a friterie, so you can sample this most Belgian of street foods. There's also a café on site, and breakfasts and simple meals can be arranged on request. If you wish to cook your own meals, both barbecues and campfires are allowed, and there are picnic tables on which to devour your fare; as for supplies, the nearest shops are in Flobecq or Ellezelles (both about five minutes’ drive). Other amenities at La Divine Providence include a toilet/shower block and a washing–up area. There are lots of excellent hiking and cycling trails in the local area, especially to the north-west of the site in the outskirts of Ronse (15 minutes' drive, or 40 minutes by bike).

What customers say

This natural, wildcamping-style site offers peace and space, with clean, basic facilities including showers. However, many guests found the grounds uneven, with unclear signage and a lack of readily available staff or reception. Some felt the site was run-down and overpriced for the amenities offered, with reports of missing facilities like soap and toilet paper. The manager notes the site is not a commercial park and aims to attract nature lovers.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Showers and toilets were relatively clean.

Disliked The facilities are not as described on there listing. There is no chemical or waste disposal provided and campers were using the water point in stead with the overflow running onto the ground. May be suitable for a one night stop if you had to. Extremely run down site.

Liked Close to Pairi Daiza zoo!

Disliked Floor was very uneven, signage not the clearest in the dark. Couldn’t locate the toilet block. Felt very expensive in comparison to quality of stay. Also didn’t receive any information prior to our arrival.

From the manager: To our future guests.

I send to all my bookings till the end of august the check in information on 18/8. I sent out information to my last minute bookings.
If you make A last minute booking and you know you need a late arrival, don't hesitate on contacting us, to make sure you receive the information in time.

I will not change the nature of the campsite that a lot of people love on Google.
The pitch up guests are used to more facilities on the campsite. If you need this, please look for a different campsite. We are there for the guests who enjoy some wildcamping with basic facilities and no crowd.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nothing to like at this site.
Pulled in, there was a toxic waste bag left in car park at the entrance and in the camping field 200 fly's clung to the car so we left straight away.
Looks nothing like the photos, site feels derelict
Avoid at all costs

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Our entrance and our exit are at the same gate. Therefore we have our containers at the exit indeed.
You came in yesterday with full containers after a busy weekend. On Wednesday they are emptied. I am depending on the services of our partner which is not everyday in our rural village.

The closest pitch of the campsite is on the other side of this huge building and is more then 100mtrs away.

Me the owner lives the closest to the entrance and I don't notice any flies the whole summer while having a meal outside.

I know we don't have a commercial campsite where we adapt nature to the campsite. We allow 10 places on 2 hectares of nature and you can look for the spot you like.
I know it's a love it or hate it concept for people who like wildcamping (not aloud in Belgium) with basic facilities. Thank you for your comment, and I'm sorry we couldn't fulfill your wishes.

An overnight stop if nothing else available.

Electric grass pitch

Liked the peace of the site
the fact that it accepted twin axle vans

Disliked The price! There was no area on the site which was flat. There was no reception and there was no one to greet you upon arrival. That would have been acceptable if we had been pre-warned but we were not. The signage at the entrance was too small to read and was torn. We drove past and so had to reverse a long caravan down a busy street. The grounds looked as if the site was disused until a walk proved otherwise. We never saw the owner. We just left a note with someone to pass on to say we had stayed. Other "inmates" told us what to do as there was no sign to direct campers as to where to pitch. This is not what we expect from a Pitch Up site and certainly not for the price we paid. We left a much cheaper site with far more facilities and with staff to help and talk to!
In the UK we would class this as a certified location site and the price would be at least half of what were charged. I realise Belgian is more expensive but it was advertised as having a bar and restaurant and we found neither of these.
Only one water tap was labelled as drinkable. The chemical disposal was not labelled. There was no site lighting so it was quite eerie in the evening. The grass did not appear to have been cut but we did note as we were leaving there was a gardener clearing a pathway to the main building.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.
We are working on a new sign. And will certainly take this feedback seriously.

I am sorry you didn't receive the instructions we usually send to our guest by email for the self check in, I understand this mus have been difficult. I am working on getting them into the pitch up system as I noticed it is possible. But we are new on the system.

Our concept is a nature campsite where we do not adapt nature to the campsite. We allow 10 places on 2 hectares of nature and you can look for the spot you like. It might be a bit more difficult to stand straight but it is definitely possible. So there is plenty of space to enjoy nature at its best.
I know it's a love it or hate it concept for people who like wildcamping (not aloud in Belgium) with basic facilities. Thank you for your comment, and I'm sorry we couldn't fulfill your wishes.

Liked De rust en de ruimte

Disliked Het is een groot knollenveld, niets is vlak! Het duurt een tijd voordat de caravan een beetje recht staat!! Matig sanitair, voor de douche twee trappen op, het water van andere douches komt over de vloer binnen!! Enkele scherpe tegels op de grond in een bocht waardoor je de banden zou kunnen vernielen!!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Inderdaad de geschiedenis van het gebouw speelt een grote rol in hoe de camping is ingericht. We gebruiken de douches van de voormalige kampplaats.de douches zijn inderdaad op het eerste verdiep.

Ook voor de toiletten moet je drie tredes stijgen.

De campsite is een kleinschalig initiatief in de natuur, geen grote commerciële camping.
Dit is nooit onze intentie geweest en zal het ook nooit worden.
Bedankt voor uw review zodat toekomstige gasten een beeld kunnen vormen.

Disappointing for the price, would have hoped for a bit more..anything

Electric grass pitch

Liked The site itself is nice enough. Green space. Probably not bad if you have your own toilet/bathroom.

Disliked I'm not sure what we were paying for here - Belgium is more expensive but there was no toilet paper, no soap, no one there, no one reachable (for example when a smoke alarm went off for hours in the building next to it.
The spaces next to the electricity points were all taken and the building gives very haunted vibes.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: On our own website we call our camping 'wildcamping' because we offer only 10 pitches in 2 ha.
The facilities are nothing fancy indeed. We want to attract lovers of nature.

Lovely quiet site, clean facilities, friendly…

Local attractions

In Lessines (10 minutes’ drive), the 13th-century Hospital Our Lady with the Rose has been turned into a museum displaying collections of art and surgical instruments. There is a medicinal garden, too. Lessines was the birthplace of René Magritte, and a suitably surrealist sculpture dedicated to the artist (‘Magritte au Chapeau’) sits in the Grand Place. If you’re travelling with children, you might want to treat them to a day filled with kid-friendly activities. Head to Pairi Daiza (half an hour), a zoo with a collection of reptiles in a former whaling boat, plus a petting farmyard and an adventure playground. WoWpark Gavers (35 minutes) aquatic park is the place for water-based family fun. Criss-crossed with canals, Ghent (an hour) is a lively university city. In the Old Town, a series of connected central squares is lined with the heavily ornate City Hall, the 14th-century Belfry and St Bavo’s Cathedral (home of a famed altarpiece by the Van Eyck brothers).
