Why stay here ...

Situated within an hour’s drive of Calais and Dunkirk ports, Klein Strand is ideally situated for stopovers or short breaks to Bruges, Ghent and Ostend. Laid out in two parts, it has a lakeside location that offers access to a beach with a swimming area, water slides and boating. The other half of this large site features touring pitches on level grass that are separated by hedges. The site is well-serviced by a reception building, restaurants, supermarket and amenities. It has a nicely renewed wash facility. 

Bruges is a delight to visit, with its cobbled streets, canals and relaxed cafés. Those with a sweet tooth won’t be able to resist the handmade chocolate shops scattered throughout the city. Transport enthusiasts will enjoy a day trip on the Coast Tram (Kusttram) a tramline running along the Belgian coast between De Panne and Knokke-Heist.

Disappointed.

To be fair it does state that the site can get a bit noisy in high season, but it wasn't high season when we stayed and it was noisy! The site is in 2 halves with the reception in 1 half and we were in the other half further... Show more

Superb location for Bruges visit with water sports lake

We booked this site because of the excellent location but I was a little unsure because of the mixed reviews. I have to say we had a very good experience. This is a very family friendly/local centre. The nearby lake (opposite campsite) had loads of water sports... Show more

Absolute Horror show!!!

It doesn't even deserve 1 star. Everything was awful from day 1. Firstly I paid for a hard paved pitch but was put on grass as the paved ones were being redone or so I thought as after a couple of days people were put on them. The electrics are... Show more

Met our needs for stopover but unlikely to return

Site is posted from main road. It is actually split into 2 separate parts but there is plenty of space to turn around after checking in at reception to go on to touring site a little further down the road. Receptionist was helpful and spoke English well. Paid deposit for... Show more

Christmas Treat

We booked this stay as a post-Christmas / pre-New Year treat and the location did not disappoint. We took the overnight PO ferry from Hull to Zebrugge (highly recommend this route for this site) and were at the site within an hour of landing in Belgium. Very convenient, the site... Show more

Lovely site but with terrible toilet block

We visited here in August 2018. The touring pitches are separated by hedges and most seem to have water adjacent to the pitch. Some of the pitches are tricky to get to. Other than the toilet block, which was small, not very clean and a bit smelly, the site... Show more

We stayed here in August 2017 and we were appalled at the state of the site. The toilets were only cleaned once a day, the bins, of which were all over by the main entrance, were over flowing to the point that people were putting the rubbish on the tarmac... Show more

Klein Strand

This is not a site for all those who only want hard standing as all the pitches are grass. Whilst being fairly level they are not exactly smooth. Why they describe them as "Special Pitches" I have no idea, possibly to charge more. Basic setup is 1 bollard with 4... Show more
