from 18 reviews Write review

The Gaalgebierg campsite is located in a quiet forested area on a hill near the former industrial town of Esch-sur-Alzette. The campsite is well maintained and is wonderfully quiet and green. Directly next door there is a zoo (free access) and there are numerous sports fields and city gardens in the immediate vicinity. Esch-sur-Alzette is located in the "Terre Rouge" region, an area of former mines and heavy industry. There are lovely walks in the surrounding area.

Quiet and green

The campsite looks wonderfully quiet and green. There are beautiful trees. The grounds are divided into terraces, which creates a nice atmosphere. Some pitches are a little small or are somewhat hidden away, but there are also plenty of spacious sites.

Immaculate sanitation facilities

The large central sanitation block is immaculately clean. The building is well maintained and heated. You will also find a baby care site and facilities for wheelchair users.

Guided hikes

Because of its location, the campsite is popular with hikers and peace-seekers. The bus near the campsite will take you (every 30 minutes) to the town swimming pool for free. At certain times, the campsite team organizes excursions and guided hikes.

Charming café

There is a charming café with terrace on the campsite. There is also a restaurant with a reasonable menu. People from outside the campsite like to come to the bar and restaurant. You have to go to the centre of Esch-sur-Alzette for shops and a supermarket.

Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Travelling party: Couple

Out if the way up a long steep road. Site looks uncared for, pitches and pathways overgrown with weeds and shrubbery. Resident vans were filthy and area around them unclean and not looked after. such a pity as Deer park was lovely and staff were pleasant.
