Why families love seasonal camping here

Nature-first family time, every week

Seasonal camping builds a rhythm that’s great for kids and parents alike. With your pitch set, every arrival is simple: park, play, relax. The site is a true family destination where children can explore and play outdoors for hours.

• Adventure highlights include multiple playgrounds, a discovery trail with an observation tower, a sports field, and watersplay areas. See more: On an adventure
• A nature-rich setting supports stress relief, creativity, and free play. Open-ended materials (sand, water, sticks) and unstructured spaces help kids invent games, cooperate, and build confidence.

A car-light, convenience-rich base

The heart of the campsite—Centrumplein—puts daily comforts within easy reach:

• Knoest Eten en Drinken: a cozy, child-friendly restaurant with a generous terrace by the (water)playgrounds. Tip for adults: try their own Noest beer or a refreshing Geversgin.
• Minimarkt: for essentials and last-minute groceries.
• Laundry (Wasserette) and modern sanitary buildings keep long stays simple.
• Padel court on-site for an easy match when the mood strikes. Details: Padel court
• Bike rental available via the reception, website, or app—options for kids, adults, and e-bikes. Check the map: Map
• Camping app (iOS & Android) to manage bookings, payments, hire bikes and the padel court, sign up for activities, and discover what’s on. Learn more: Camping app

Dunes, forest, and beach within easy reach

Geversduin is not far from the dunes and the beach, putting coastal walks, play-in-the-sand afternoons, and watersports days on your doorstep. Find inspiration for seaside days: To the beach

A greener way to holiday

Sustainability is baked into the site’s design and daily operations. You’ll see solar panels on all sanitary buildings and the Centrumplein building, plus sedum (green) roofs on the reception and the forest theatre. Green roofs help insulate, capture rainwater, support biodiversity, and even improve the yield of solar panels on top.
