  • Tree-shaded site in the Campine region, a five-minute drive from Balen
  • Pakawi Park zoo and Fietsen door de Bomen cycle path 15 minutes’ drive
  • Playground and outdoor pool with slides, plus café and sports hall
The Campine region of north-eastern Belgium is a top destination for cyclists – or, indeed, for anyone keen to explore its wetlands and forests. Making the most of all that requires some accommodation, and slap bang in the middle of this area is Camping GT Keiheuvel. With spacious pitches, this site is popular with families thanks to the presence of a play area and an outdoor swimming pool with a slide (open during high season only). While the kids entertain themselves and make new friends, the grownups can relax poolside or, if they’re feeling particularly active, hit the on-site sports hall, with a gym and tennis courts. A 10-minute walk past Aeroclub Keiheuvel (where you can watch gliders take to the air), leads to a recreation park with an adventure playground, miniature golf and go-karts. Meanwhile, cyclists shouldn’t miss the Fietsen door de Bomen (15 minutes’ drive or half an hour by bike), a cycle path with stretches going through the tree canopy. This site scores highly in terms of leisure facilities, but what about amenities? Well, it’s top marks again, with showers and a toilet block (including facilities for the disabled), plus a washing-up area, launderette and recycling points. There’s also a café for when you start to feel hungry, or you can stock up on provisions (the nearest supermarket is a five-minute drive away) and have a barbecue. There are also plenty of dining options in the town of Balen (five minutes).

What customers say

Spacious, well-kept sites in nice woods. Staff are friendly & helpful. Good amenities, pool, and kids' activities. Generally clean & good value. Some mention older bathrooms with occasional soap/TP issues. Noise from events & infrequent services were minor complaints.

Immer wieder gerne.
Sind leider nur auf der Durchreise für eine Nacht geblieben. Die gebotenen Aktivitäten lassen uns aber überlegen, auch mal länger zu bleiben.

Liked Lovely big pitch, facilities were good. We arrived after the reception had closed but were met by a member of staff who was nice and helpful.

Disliked The fact that the pool didn't open until 11am which was not stated on the website. We were only staying one night and had to check out by 11.30 so we were not able to use it. Rather annoying as that was the main reason we chose this site. Very difficult to get food too.

Excellent for the price, and peaceful

Paul A.

Powered grass campsite (woodland)

Liked Huge pitches under the pine trees which gave welcome shade. Water and electric on the pitch. Friendly and efficient welcome. Bar options on site as well as a pool. Great jogging and cycling routes from the site.

Disliked If I'm being fussy: not many pool loungers, and shower temperature not adjustable as I like to cold shower sometimes.

Powered grass campsite (family)

Liked Loads of space, playgrounds, clean showers/toilets, helpful staff, cafe food wasn’t bad

Disliked Not the fault of the site but there seemed to be some kind of military manoeuvres going on nearby as there were a lot of fighter jets and chinook helicopters flying over

Local attractions

Lions and tigers and bears – oh my. These are just some of the residents at Pakawi Park (15 minutes’ drive), a forested zoo where you can also see cheetahs, capuchin monkeys and pink flamingoes. And when the kids get tired of the animals (as if…), they can take a break on the giant bouncy castle. Sahara Lommel (half an hour) is a nature reserve named after the large expanse of sand at its core. Unlike its African namesake, though, this area is surrounded by green forests and dotted with lakes. You can spot birds like grebes and ducks here, or climb the 30-m Uitkijktoren Lommelse Sahara tower for far-reaching views. Amusement rides await at Bobbejaanland (35 minutes), with something for every age group – from gentle boat trips along a lazy river to thrilling rollercoasters and water attractions – all spread between four themed areas, including a Cowboy Town.
