  • Laidback Spanish-influenced Flanders campsite among pine forests
  • Half an hour's drive to Antwerp; 20 minutes to Bobbejaanland
  • Bar, tapas restaurant, playground and kids' activities on site
The name is Spanish, but the setting is Flemish… and the two come together to create a most delightful place to stay at Camping Siesta, surrounded by the pine forests of the Antwerp Kempen five minutes from Lille (the Belgian Lille, not the French one). The Spanish influence is perhaps most noticeable in the restaurant La Cantina, which opens on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for a menu of tapas (with the costillas – ribs – a particular highlight) washed down with jugs of sangria and set to the soundtrack of a live flamenco guitarist. The laidback atmosphere gives a nod to the southern lifestyle too, and there are plenty of lovely spots where you can have a well-earned siesta while breathing in the scents of the pine trees. Much of the rest of the place is the full Flanders experience – from games of pétanque with your new neighbours to taking a walk on the trails that wind themselves through the forest next door, and of course finishing the day with a local golden beer. Kids are very welcome here, and can busy themselves clambering on the climbing frames at the playground or joining a forest safari with the site’s own woodland ranger (warning: they tend to get happily mucky on these activities, so send them off in an outfit you don’t mind getting dirty…) In between your forest forays, there are plenty of places nearby for days out – a trip to Antwerp (half an hour’s drive) is a must for many guests, and families often have a fabulous time at Bobbejaanland, 20 minutes away.

Electric grass and sand tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The situation in the woods, good size of pitch, clean facilities, good electricity supply (16amp), good value, friendly and helpful staff.

Disliked: Very limited recycling compared to France.
Owners who don’t control their dogs properly - yapping dogs at 2 in the morning … but this cannot be controlled by the site staff.

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Beautiful peaceful location next to the forest. Miles of walks round about in the forest and short walk into town to a nice friendly bar/restaurant. Everything dog friendly too. Campsite restaurant closed as late in season. Showers and toilets really nice. Looked fairly new.

Electric grass and sand tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We was close to the toilets, and could let the kids play on the park freely.

Tent pitches are clearly marked

Decent location for things to do

Disliked: Sand pit very dirty the kids feet was black

We wasn’t a fan of the shared toilets

The pitch was loud - lots of road voice and sounded like a monkey forest in the morning

If you are on a tent pitch you are far away from the main part

The toilets seemed to get very dirty towards the end of the night

Local attractions

Even if it’s the forest frolics that are the main focus of your holiday, you should take some time away for a trip to Antwerp (half an hour’s drive). It’s really a fabulous city, with attractions including a chocolate museum, a brewery and lots of museums, including the excellent Rubens House. Antwerp is also home to one of the oldest zoos in Europe, and a whole district of glittering diamond shops. For those of you with kids, Bobbejaanland (20 minutes) is a top day out, with lots of rides, shows and themed areas to explore. There are also lots of fun things for kids to do at De Lilse Bergen amusement park (10 minutes), or they can spend hours splashing about in the outdoor and subtropical pools at Netepark (15 minutes). If you’d rather stick to lots of outdoor time, plan things like walks in the Landschap Liereman (25 minutes) or go paddleboarding from Herentals (20 minutes).
