Urban Gardens Ieper

Urban Gardens Ypres doesn’t have a swimming pool, but with so many things to do in the surrounding area, nobody will get bored. The campsite is, above all, a lovely base from which to explore Ypres and the beautiful Westhoek region. After a day full of new experiences, it’s wonderful to return to the peace and quiet of the campsite’s green surroundings.

The campsite has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and is a pleasant place to come home to after a day’s sightseeing. The great thing about this campsite is that the charm of Ypres is right on your doorstep. Fancy a Belgian beer, a delicious ice cream with the children or a portion of Flemish chips? In the centre of Ypres, you’ll find cosy restaurants, cafés and outdoor terraces. This way, you can combine the great outdoors with the charm of the town. At reception, every guest receives the ‘Citytrieper’ pack, which includes special offers such as a free walking map, free entry to a guided walk, discounts at museums and a discount on a local beer.

The surroundings are the main reason to choose Camping Urban Gardens Ypres. Ypres played a significant role during the First World War, and this impressive history comes to life throughout the town and the surrounding area. A visit to the In Flanders Fields Museum, housed in the beautiful Cloth Hall on the Grote Markt, is an absolute must. Here, the whole family can discover what happened during the war through personal stories, artefacts and images. The Menin Gate is also a place that leaves a lasting impression. Every evening at 8.00 pm, the Last Post is played here, a special tribute to the fallen soldiers. It’s a moment to pause and reflect together. Do also set aside a day to explore the surrounding area. Visit the impressive Tyne Cot military cemetery near Passchendaele or discover the trenches and war stories at the Sanctuary Wood Museum. As well as all the history, there’s plenty of scope for fun. Stroll along Ypres’s charming Grote Markt, admire the historic buildings and enjoy a Belgian waffle. For a fun-filled family day out, Bellewaerde theme park is just a short distance from Ypres, with attractions and animals for all ages. This makes Camping Urban Gardens Ypres a special holiday destination where history, a cosy atmosphere and quality time with the family come together.
