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, around 50 cm 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.

Tip from our team
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 pond is approximately 50 cm 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.

Glamping“We had a wonderful stay in the glamping at Camping Siësta. The accommodation was comfortable, tidy and fully equipped. It was the perfect combination of camping in nature with the comforts of home. The campsite itself is cosy, well maintained and has a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made us feel welcome immediately. The area is also beautiful and offers plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling or just to unwind. For us this was the ideal place to escape from the daily hustle and bustle. We enjoyed the peace, the beautiful accommodation and the hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable glamping experience! We will definitely be back!”

Good for families.“We stayed for two nights as a family of 4 with two small children. An email was sent before we arrived with a key code to get in and our pitch number, so we didn’t need to check in. The pitch was nice, a little on the small side but big enough for our tent and a table and chairs. There is a nice little play area with trampoline for littles just outside the cantina bar. The site is situated in woodland which is nice for evening/morning strolls. The shower block is nice - plenty of showers with warm water, and a handy little baby/toddler bath. Toilets - only two ladies toilets and a lack of toilet paper… but everything nice and clean and I just made sure to take my own paper in!”

Cowboys“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. Like the WiFi which is free for everyone but not for the annual pitches ,180€ per year. Electricity that's doubled. Enz. I myself have stood there for 10 years and experienced things that are so Scandalous. I myself have undergone 2 murder attempts on behalf of the camping boss Mark.by the Dutch boyfriends Mail being intercepted and disappearing. Wifi cable cut . Power cable cut in February, I sat there without heating in the dark. Real cowboy stuff. And why, because I still had an old contract on which he couldn't earn anything. Because that's what it's all about, money money and still money. The time of charm camping is over. And then there was the invasion of the Dutch in soft sand. I'd say Mark and Mariska, fu k you and you can be bankrupt rap”
