The campground is located at an elevation of 400 m. The spacious campsites stretch out over a rolling landscape. You have different views everywhere. You can get a spot next to the castle or along the forest, but also on the side of a hill. There are spaces with, without and with some shade.

Castle room

There are mobile homes and tents for hire on site. There are various luxury chalets in the forest. You can also spend the night in a real castle room! On Wednesday and Sunday, for a small fee, you can visit the 15th century castle with a tour. The restaurant with a small menu is located in the courtyard of the castle.

Natural stone swimming pool

The swimming pool next to the castle is completely made of natural stone. There is an outdoor pool and a small heated indoor pool. You can enjoy the jacuzzis and the slide. There is also a sauna. From the campground there is a walking path to the river de Allier where you can swim. You can hire canoes, kayaks and mountain bikes at the reception.

Climbing adventures

There is a playground and a sports field on site. You can play table tennis and use the jeu-de-boules pitch. You can play tennis, go horseback riding, ride ponies and practice archery for a fee. There is an activities programme in Dutch for the kids. For children from about ten and for adults, the via ferrata is a climbing adventure.

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - Very scenic, nice pool, food was good (pizza and burger) nice sized pitch, great to stop over
Disliked - Over charged correctly the stay (accidents happen), showers were quite dark particularly the ladies. When ordered drinks and asked for ice they lady rolled her eyes almost to say REALLY !! Didn't think that was appropriate. More sun loungers required around the pool along with umbrella stands that actually hold the umbrella. Most of the ones there are holed and don't hold any sand or water to weigh them down.
