This city camping on top of a hill was

This city camping on top of a hill was once a mining site. It's an experience. You have to pass a friendly surveillant to enter the site and it's a bit overwhelming if you're used to a rural camp site. There are a lot of residential inhabitants (yes, i've seen what a house in the city costs) and it feels crowded,... but in fact, once you settle down, it's not bad at all and we slepts well. Why come here for a long period? Perhaps if you're city folks and don't want to disconnect but still want to sleep among the trees. Not for shopping in the city at it's feet, 'cos it's shopping area has seen beter days, but is still worth a strawl. Now,... take the free bus, downhill to the city station, take the passerel there (you can't miss) and walk all the way up to the camping. The hill is in fact a most wonderfull park. You will have to go to one of Brussels' many parks or London's fancy green hills to come close to what this park has to offer. It's a gem! Of course you can do the other way around and walk down to take the bus back to the top. And if you have kids, go visit the small animal park next to the camping. It's build to give 'em the experience of a holliday, with friendly staff and an original playground, while you grab a local brew. So,... we did not regret our stay. Owkay,... about the camping,... Older Belgians might remember the movie 'Camping Cosmos'? Et alors! It was a good place to stay and we did have fun. So i would have given a 5/5 if the men's toilets hadn't smelled like a dixi after a festival. But don't let this stop you from discovering this surprisingly friendly environment.
