  • Well-equipped Flanders holiday park on the edge of Jabbeke
  • Bruges or Ostend 15 minutes' drive; half an hour to Blankenberge beach
  • Restaurants and kids' activities; playground and pétanque court
Bruges 15 minutes’ drive in one direction, Ostend and the Flanders coast the same amount in the other, easy access from the A10 motorway… and right here by the site a small lake, a beach (open in July and August only) and a whole lot of open space in which to relax. Yes, it’s safe to say that Vakantiepark Klein Strand is in an excellent location for an action-packed family holiday. This well-equipped holiday park is just on the edge of Jabbeke, about 10 minutes’ walk from the town’s shops, cafés and restaurants. If you don’t feel like going that far, no worries – there are two small restaurants on site (a Chinese and another serving up family favourites like pizzas and burgers), and you’re welcome to light up a barbecue as well. Working up an appetite shouldn’t be difficult at all, given the many activities available on site or nearby. A real highlight of this park is the lifeguarded lakefront beach with waterslides, which is open in July and August for swimming; it is close to the A10 and you may hear some traffic noise. From May to the end of September, sign yourself up for watersports for an additional fee too. Elsewhere are a playground and pétanque court, and the site runs kids’ and teens’ activities in high season (giving parents a chance to chill out on the park’s terrace or around the gardens). More activity? You got it. There are some lovely areas nearby for walks and bike rides, and you can easily take days out in Bruges (15 minutes’ drive), Ghent (35 minutes) or up at the coast in places like Ostend (15 minutes) and Blankenberge (half an hour).

What customers say

Well-kept site, friendly staff, private pitches. Great for Bruges access. Lake aqua park is a hit with families. Some noise issues and remarks about costly showers and less-than-ideal upkeep in restrooms due to high use.

Jake B.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great park, camping is set away from the main area of static homes but this actually works nicely. Camping area has its own splash pool, play park, bar, takeaway and eat in food. There’s also access to the beach included within your stay (we didn’t go). We used for an overnight stay before going home on the Eurotunnel, met several other campers who were doing the same as their first or last stop of holiday

Disliked Some of the facilities in the toilet block were broken. You also have a code system for the shower where you pay for the usage, although I don’t mind, you only find this out at check in (able to top up by card)

Maryjane M.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely busy site with a great location close to cities and loads to do.

Large pitches fully serviced, but catch when I go to dislikes.

Toilets were always clean but there was a wait for a toilet as there are only around 6 male toilets for a large site.

Nice bars.

Nice beach as long as the suns out and great walk round the lake.


Aldi is within walking distance and 20 min walk.

Good stuff for kids with a play park and small water park.

Water shows is a must on a Sunday.

I would come back and recommend.

Disliked Caveat these dislikes with I loved this site, but there were a few issues which were rectified by staff.

Electric plugin on pitch one has a multiple plugin for both pitches. It did not work. Then I noticed a random cable in a hedge which was the hook up. Sid not look really safe and power went off when it rained.

Also found a random water cable there too which was the services water.

There is one on the post but that is for two pitches to share, so you can’t connect your hose or its stops others.

Avoid pitches close to the park as kids screamed all day and until 10pm. Not really an issue but the bouncy castle was terrible as the kids kept collapsing it and then turning it back on. If you have kids then I would watch this area.

Permanent residents behind pitch 1 blasted music all day that it shock my van. Their dog also barked all day. Staff did tell them to turn it down.

Amusements plays very loud techno music. First night it never went off till 0030hrs. Next night we called reception after 2300 and it was turned off straight away.

Last night there was a group of 20 year olds in the park on the swings making a lot of noise. Reception came straight out and sorted at 0100hrs which was great.

Pay for showers which is mental.

Pizza cost 15 euro and if I had known would have went to Aldi and bought a few for that price. Not worth it and would not fill one person.

Local attractions

Gentle walks and bike rides part of your holiday plan? Start local with trips to the Maskobossen forest (five minutes’ drive/10 minutes’ cycle) or visit one of the last Flemish polder hayland landscapes at the Paddegat nature reserve (10 minutes’ drive/15 minutes’ cycle). A little further afield is the coastal scenery of the Zwin Nature Park (35 minutes’ drive), where you can also take a walk on the beach. Speaking of beaches, there are some lovely beach towns along the coast, including Blankenberge (half an hour), with its aquarium and Art Nouveau buildings, and Knokke-Heist (35 minutes), a local favourite for its nine kilometres of sand. A day trip to Bruges (15 minutes) should certainly be on the cards too, for a boat tour on the canals, a climb up the Belfry Tower, some art at the Groeningemuseum and a wander around all the pretty streets and squares. If you’ve got more days to fill, you could also take a trip to Ghent (35 minutes) or visit the battlefields and In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres (50 minutes).
