About Camping Siesta

Looking for a holiday where forest, space and family activities come together? Camping Siesta is tucked into the green landscape of Wechelderzande, in Belgium's Antwerp Kempen, offering a relaxed base for families who prefer nature and outdoor adventures to a huge holiday-park atmosphere. The 7-hectare park is surrounded by woodland and has spacious camping areas, rental accommodation, glamping options, children's play facilities, sports activities and free Wi-Fi. What makes Camping Siesta particularly appealing? The setting. Step outside and you are immediately close to walking and cycling routes through the Kempen forests. There is also a shallow swimming pond, reported at around 50cm deep, which is designed particularly with younger children in mind. Families with children aged approximately 4–12 are especially well suited here: there is space to play, a playground, children's activities and plenty of nature to explore, while teenagers can enjoy cycling, nearby attractions and day trips. The campsite also welcomes dogs, making it a practical choice for families travelling with a pet. And what about eating? La Cantina, the campsite's Spanish-influenced tapas bar and restaurant, is a real highlight when operating, while fresh bread and basic camping provisions make mornings easier. The campsite is also within easy driving distance of Bobbejaanland, Turnhout and Antwerp, so you can mix quiet woodland days with exciting family outings.

Surroundings

Camping Siesta sits among the pine forests and sandy woodland landscapes of the Antwerp Kempen. Within 10 kilometres, expect extensive forests, heath-like clearings, cycling paths, quiet country lanes and agricultural fields around Lille, Malle and Vlimmeren. The terrain is predominantly flat and green, making the area particularly attractive for family cycling, woodland walks, nature spotting and relaxed outdoor activities throughout the year.

“If you are choosing Camping Siesta, our advice is to make the natural surroundings part of the holiday, rather than treating the campsite simply as somewhere to sleep. The woodland location is one of its strongest advantages, with walking and cycling routes starting close to the park. Guests have particularly appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, spacious surroundings and the friendly welcome, while comments also highlight how pleasant it is to sit outside on the accommodation's veranda and listen to the birds. For families, I would take bicycles if possible. The Antwerp Kempen is exceptionally well suited to cycling, and the relatively flat landscape makes family rides manageable. For younger children, make use of the playgrounds and the shallow swimming pond during warm weather. The published information describes the pond as approximately 50cm deep, making it particularly suited to little ones, although parents should always supervise children closely. Another tip is to check La Cantina's opening schedule before arrival. The Spanish-style tapas bar can be a lovely place for an evening meal, but opening is seasonal and not guaranteed every day. For a bigger day out, book a day for Bobbejaanland. At around 16km away, it is close enough to combine easily with a camping holiday, while Antwerp gives older children and parents plenty of culture, shopping, museums and sightseeing.”

It's outrageous how people are treated. If you have an annual place, you pay for everything such as the water bill that is settled up to three years ago while we have a lump sum contractually fixed. L...
