  • Belgian Ardennes holiday park with spectacular views over Bouillon
  • Château Fort de Sedan 20 minutes’ drive and Abbaye d’Orval 35 minutes
  • Swimming pool and sports courts; bistro and evening entertainment
Set on a forested plateau with spectacular views over the Belgian Ardennes to historic Bouillon, Papillon Bouillon is a family-friendly, laidback sort of a holiday park – and as it’s only five minutes’ drive from the border, you can easily hop into France for the day too. Dogs are welcome and there are plenty of walks in the forest hills around the site for everyone to stretch their legs (be that two or four legs), as well as cycling routes and kayaking on the Semois River. But there’s no real need to leave the site if you’d rather simply get there and flop. The spacious grass pitches are neatly tended and separated by hedges, and around the grounds you’re looked after with a covered swimming pool, a well-equipped fitness room and a bowling alley for family fun in the evening. Outside, you can play gently competitive matches on the tennis or pétanque courts, and let your kids scramble around on climbing frames in the large playground. Gas barbecues are allowed by the pitches but for those who’ve got the holiday bug and don’t want to cook, there’s a bistro for a bite to eat and a drink – plus evening entertainment in the high season. Other handy amenities to ease you into relaxation mode include heated modern showers, a washing-up sink and laundry facilities.

What customers say

Cleanliness good, but pitch/electric issues & construction noise were hassles. Pool often closed/grubby, comms poor. Weird bin system, rubbish costs extra.

Liked It was available. Gym looked ok

Disliked Everything else. Pitches were dust bowls. Pool was discoloured with dangerous steps and no basic safety. Very shallow. Loud music not to my (or anybody else’s) taste.

Liked Le cadre, le calme, le bowling, le bingo, la serviabilité d’une jeune étudiante qui a permis de récupérer une balle envoyée sur le toit d’en face.

Disliked Nous n’avons pas su nous brancher sur la borne pour avoir l’électricité. Le manque de propreté : -dans le fond de la piscine.
-dans les sanitaires.

Liked Superb welcome from the guy at reception.
Pitch was lovely and close to the amenities.

Disliked Yapping dog was left outside while the owners were away from the pitch. 4 hours of yapping was annoying.
No waste water drain site.
No access to the bins ( some kind of pay per use ). So we took our small bag of rubbish with us (only 1 night stay. Don’t know what we would have done if staying longer).

Liked Swimming pool out of use during our stay.
Ablutions generally clean.
Showers need a card. We were given this on arrival. I was told it had 10 x 7mins showers. I had one, my wife then tried with no success. In the morning reception refilled the card and my wife got her shower. But no way to know what happened.
Bins also seem to need some card to open, maybe same card, it wasn't explained.
Launderette was heavily used by staff day we arrived, but got in there next day.

Disliked Showers small with poor changing or dry storage.
No toilet paper, no soap, no hand drying.
Toilet entances are open opposite each other. Sinks are readily visible to casual unintentional observance, ie you have no privacy at sinks and mens urinals.
Not spacious pitches.

Liked The location. And the toilets were clean.

Disliked Everything else. Impossible to get in touch with the reception. The pool was dirty, and on the second day they closed it. We wanted to cancel the last 2 nights, but couldn’t get in touch with anyone. Called several times, and left messages. Ended up booking another campsite, 20 minutes away. Really disappointed, especially that it was impossible to communicate. The place is mostly long term or privately owned mobile homes, which really gives it a wierd vibe. Wouldn’t recommend anyone

Local attractions

Hiking in the Belgian Ardennes is second to none, with trails for all ages and abilities. Families with older kids can go cycling and mountain biking in the surrounding hills, and if you’re visiting in summer, there’s kayaking and other watersports on the Semois. You have stunning views over Bouillon from the site, and it’s equally splendid up close. Walk down to this medieval town in half an hour (it’s an uphill trek getting back). It sits on a Semois River meander cut deep into the cliffside; you can catch historic multimedia displays at the Archéoscope Godefroid de Bouillon and see regional crafts at the Musée Ducal, but the star of the show here is the medieval castle, its ramparts and torture chambers. When you all need a day off from sporting activities, you can jump aboard the mini-train in Parc Animalier de Rochehaut (20 minutes’ drive) to see fallow deer, donkeys and bison grazing in the meadows. Other day trips could include the Cistercian Abbaye d’Orval (35 minutes), where local cheeses and Trappist beers can be sampled (and bought), or Sedan (20 minutes) over the border into France and the host of medieval events in one of Europe’s largest castles.
