Hi Geoff,

Do you have a better address for the site?

I work in Rotterdam and commute from the UK via Calais, Brugge, Antwerpen up to Rotterdam.

I know of a Roosendael camp site in Belgium near Gent - is this the one you are thinking of?

Geoff,

A few years ago - and nothing has stuck in my mind, other than the woman owner (I think) spoke English and was helpful - but that's pretty normal in Benelux.

The centre of Gent is a great place to visit, don't be put off by the motorway network to the South and East of the city - the main Zeebrugge (and Brugge / Bruges) to Brussels, and Antwerpen to Kortrijk (and then Lille) motorways cross a few km to the south east of the city.

I'd certainly recommend visiting Brugge (learn to say Brugge rather than Bruges if you want to impress the natives) - park at the main car park south of the town and walk in.

I'll try to look up the Roosendael camp site in the Dutch ANWB guide.

Robert

Perhaps 'Nimrodphil' from Hemel Hempstead can help. He seems to have been there several times.
