Cycling - Urban Gardens Ghent - Ghent, East Flanders, Belgium

Strolling through Ghent

This glamping in East Flanders is less than 5 km from the lively city of Ghent. A city is full of history, old canals, medieval masterpieces, cozy bars, and restaurants. Stroll the streets and discover the beautiful buildings, graffiti, and street art. Discovering Ghent from the water, during a cruise on the Leie, definitely belongs on the list of things not to miss. The Graslei and the Korenlei are the oldest and perhaps the most beautiful and cozy places in Ghent. Here you will find many nice catering establishments. Of course, tasting the real Ghent Noses should not be missed. You can find the best ones in one of the carts on the Groentenmarkt.

Venture into nature

In the natural surroundings, you will find endless cycling and walking routes. Less than 2 km from the glamping is the urban nature reserve Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen. This park, which covers 220 hectares, has three hiking trails that take you past beautiful green nature with meadows and forest areas. Tens of thousands of birds perch in this area every year. There are special bird-watching huts along the way where you can spot the most beautiful birds undisturbed.

Plenty of fun at Blaarmeersen Sports and Recreation Park

Glamping at Urban Gardens Ghent means free access to the Blaarmeersen Sports and Recreation Park. In this green park with a large pond, there are plenty of water sports activities to do. Get in a canoe or kayak and paddle up the Leie. Learn to water ski or go pedal boating. For children, there is a water playground with a slide and a sandy beach that completes the recreation park.

    We booked a night in a cabin. The welcome was top-notch: professional, efficient, with very friendly staff. As for the sanitary facilities, nothing to complain about. Always clean, whatever the time of day or evening. What's more, they're modern and have everything you need. As for the campsite itself, it's very pleasant, well signposted, well organized, with everything you need close to hand and, above all, very quiet. The beds were also comfortable (I can assure you that I enjoyed my night and my nap before my half-marathon haha). In any case, thank you for your welcome, it was really great!

    Nous avons réservé une nuit dans une cabane. L’accueil était top : professionnel, efficace, avec un personnel très gentil. Au niveau des sanitaires : rien à redire. Toujours propres à n’importe quelle heure de la journée et en soirée. De plus, ils sont modernes avec tout ce qu’il faut. Au niveau du camping en lui même, l’endroit est très agréable, bien indiqué, bien organisé, avec tout ce qu’il faut à proximité du logement et surtout très calme. Les lits étaient également confortables (je peux vous assurer que j’ai bien profité de ma nuit et de ma sieste avant mon semi-marathon haha) En tout cas merci pour cet accueil, c’était vraiment chouette !

    The pitches are large, but only a few are hard-surfaced, and the electric hook-ups are few and far between. In March, when the outside temperature was 5-8°, the toilets and showers were not heated, which was a bit of a scandal, but despite being reported, nothing was done. Otherwise very clean sanitary facilities. Close to the freeway and you can also hear the train. Bus to town 5 min. walk. Expensive for services.

    Les emplacements sonts grands, mais peu sont en dur, les bornes électriques sont peu nombreuses et peuvent être très loin des places. En mars, température extérieure 5-8 ° les toilettes et douches n'étaient pas chauffées, un peu scandaleux, malgré le fait qu'on l'ait signalé, rien n'a été fait. Sinon sanitaires très propres. Près de l'autoroute et on entend aussi le train. Bus pour se rendre en ville à 5min. à pied. Cher pour les services.

    This is a great location for Gent as the centre is a short number 11 bus ride away. When we arrived reception staff were helpful but gave us two pitch numbers that were already in use. The noise from the motorway is loud but bearable. Our pitch was a mess, just pure mud. Our 25 meter electric cable was only just long enough, although they offer extensions if needed. There is a new shower block but none of the facilities have codes on the doors. The Lanes that runs through the site is used as a cut through by cyclists and walkers, especially at night. This made my late night showere quite uncomfortable.
