from 21 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.

Om bij de camping te komen dient u eerst door de zeer drukke stad Esch sur Alchette te rijden met veel stoplichten en drukke kruisingen. De laatste 3 km is een soms zeer steile kronkelige smalle weg omhoog met een aantal zebra\'s waar voetgangers voorrang moet geven zodat je stil staat op een steile weg. Op ongeveer 800 meter voor de camping is een slagboom die door de receptie gesloten kan worden. Dit gebeurt wanneer het op de camping druk is, zowel bij het restaurant als bij de receptie. Men besluit dan gewoon de slagboom dicht te houden en je via luidspreker bij de slagboom te vertellen dat de camping vol is (wat niet het geval is)
Gezien je stil staat op een steile helling en de weg te smal is om te keren moet je dan 500 meter achteruit rijden, bergafwaarts met caravan tot je in een doodlopende zijweg kunt inrijden om daar vervolgens de stad weer in te rijden. Wanneer je diverse recensies op andere websites leest, gebeurt dit vaak. Zorg dat je niet in het weekend of feestdag daar aankomt, sterker nog, ga daar gewoon niet naar toe gezien deze onvriendelijk mentaliteit.

Wir waren für eine Nacht dort. Die Auffahrt ist steil, die Wege am Campingplatz eng, die Stellplätze uneben und matschig. 90% bestehen aus ungepflegten Dauercamperpazellen. Die Sanitäranlagen sind okay, mehr aber nicht. Der Tierpark nebenan ist das einzige gute.

Acsi onwaardig. Inspecteur ga goed kijken. Smerige bende, vieze lappen op de vloer in het toilet bedoeld als matje. Slecht onderhouden plaatsen van vaste gasten. Weg ermee.

Absoluut de overnachtungsprijs niet waard. We mochten zelf onze plek zoeken, kozen de minst modderige uit. Uitzicht op haveloze, groen aangeslagen caravans met slecht onderhouden \" tuinen\" vol met rotzooi en zelf gebouwde tenten etc. Overal onkruid. Begrijp niet dat dit een anwb/ ACSI camping is. Geen mening over restaurant, kindvriendelijkheid, snel wegwezen.

Zeer matige camping. Veel jaarplaatsen met aangebouwde tentjes etc. De camping komt zeer onverzorgd over. Sanitair zeer matig. Ik snap niet dat deze camping nog op de acsi app staat!

Jammer dat het sanitair slecht wordt onderhouden, vies kleedje, wc potten vies, jammer. Vriendelijk personeel, niets is te veel. Veel vaste bewoners die van hun eigen stukje camping niets maken, het is een zooitje, vieze caravans en aanbouwen. De plek van de camping is mooi, zo hoog op de berg. Zijn hier echt al meedere keren geweest voor 1 nacht. Nu beslist dat dit de laatste keer was. Of het acsi onwaardig is heb ik geen mening. Acsi zou eerst zelf iets aan hun onoverzichtelijk boekjes moeten doen.

Travelling party: Couple

Twee personen met een buscamper met electriciteit. Sanitair oud, dameskant schoon, kant van de heren niet. Geen broodjesservice. Veel vaste staanplaatsen die ronduit rommelig en niet onderhouden ogen. Verder rustig. Mooie omgeving. Er is een wandelbrug met lift die je wandelend snel in het stadje brengt.

Travelling party: Seniors

Volgens ACSI boekje een mooie camping. Wat een bende, smerige caravans met aanbouwsels, waarschijnlijk veel seizoensplaatsen, lijkt wel een grote vuilnisplaats zoveel rotzooi, bij mag geen vermelding hebben als mooie camping. We zouden hier 2 nachten staan, 1 nacht was al teveel. Onbegrijpelijke waardering van de ACSI inspecteur.

Wir waren dort aufgrund vieler positiver Bewertungen.
Steile Auffahrt, enge Wege auf dem Campingplatz, Stellplätze uneben und matschig.
Viele nicht weggeraümte hundehaufen!!!!!!!
Platz besteht zu 90% aus ungepflegten Dauercamperpazellen.
Sanitäranlagen okay, aber mehr nicht.
Aber sehr freundliches Personal

Das Restaurant ist schön angelegt, auch der Platz an sich. Die Sanitäranlagen sind ungenügend, alles dreckig, kleine Fliegen überall, es riecht nach Urin! An den Decken und auch an den Fliesen alles voller Schimmel! Es gibt auch leider keine Möglichkeit am Morgen Brötchen zu kaufen, da kein Supermarkt.
