Camping Urban Gardens Gent

Right next to Urban Gardens Gent lies the popular De Blaarmeersen leisure area. Here, you have direct access to the swimming lake with its sandy beach, where you can relax on hot days and take a refreshing dip. Fancy a bit more action? Then try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), hop into a kayak or go for a sail across the water. The leisure area also features water slides and fountains for extra water fun. This means that young and old alike can enjoy themselves to the full here, both on and off the water.

At the campsite and in the adjacent leisure area, you’ll find plenty of activities for the whole family. For a small fee, you can play a game of padel or tennis, try your hand at pétanque or beach volleyball, or tackle the climbing course. Children can let off steam in the play areas whilst you take a moment to relax. You don’t even need to leave the campsite for a bite to eat or a drink. Pick up a tasty treat from one of the food stalls, order a pizza from the food truck or enjoy a drink at the bar. Prefer to eat outside together? Then find a spot at one of the leafy picnic areas. You can also hire bikes at the campsite and explore the surrounding area at your own pace.

One of the absolute greatest advantages of Urban Gardens Gent is its fantastic location. You’ll be staying in the heart of a peaceful, green setting, yet just a stone’s throw from the centre of Ghent – one of Belgium’s most charming and culturally rich cities. Hire a bike and set off to explore the picturesque streets, visit the impressive medieval Gravensteen Castle, or admire the city from the water during a charming boat trip. Don’t forget to sample the local cuisine; the city’s cafés and microbreweries are just as tempting as the stalls serving authentic Belgian waffles and crispy chips. For those looking for even more to do, Bruges, Brussels and Antwerp are all within easy reach and make ideal destinations for day trips.
