Alan Rogers Review
The Campine is an area covering three quarters of the Province of Antwerp, noted for its nature reserves, pine forests, meadows and streams and is ideal for walking and cycling, while Turnhout itself is an interesting old town. Baalse Hei, a long established, friendly site, is a recent Green Key ecolabel award winner. It has 459 pitches including a separate touring area of 71 large pitches (all with 16A electricity, TV connections and shared water point) on a large grass field, thoughtfully developed with trees and bushes. Cars are parked away from the pitches. Large motorcaravans can be accommodated (phone first to check availability). There is also accommodation to rent.
