Cheaper, closer or better rated: alternatives calculated from Brussels, the reference town for this page.
Cheaper alternatives

We have not read this park's price on the operator's site, so we do not compare it on price.

What sets a comparison site apart from a blog
How fresh the data is
Every family of data shown on this page, with its source and the date it was recorded when we have one. When we do not, we say so.
- Displayed priceNot verified
Indicative range: this park's price has not yet been checked with the operator. The amount shown, for 3 nights and 4 people, is an order of magnitude, not this park's price; nothing can be booked at that amount.
Not verified - Public ratingNot verified
No public rating for this park can be attributed to a platform and a recording date, so this page shows none, and the hoprat score is calculated without the “reviews” dimension.
Not verified - Park addressNot verified
Entered by hand from the operator's official website, because OpenStreetMap placed several parks in the wrong municipality. No verification date was recorded for this entry.
Not verified - Coordinates and driving timesRecorded and dated
Coordinates taken from OpenStreetMap (Nominatim) and real routes calculated by OSRM on 21 October 2026. The “Friday evening” column is not a measurement: it is the normal time multiplied by 1.3.
Recorded and dated - Activities and restaurants nearbyRecorded and dated
3 activities and 0 restaurants: addresses and coordinates taken from OpenStreetMap (Nominatim), distances calculated by OSRM, on 21 October 2026. No restaurant rating is shown: we have none whose platform is known. The descriptions, the audiences and the seasons are written by us, with no recording date.
Recorded and dated - Park facilitiesNot verified
5 criteria recorded from the operator's pages, 7 unverified — an unverified criterion is never counted as absent. No verification date was recorded for these readings: they may have aged without our being able to say so. The number of units is not confirmed by a citable public source, so it is not shown.
Not verified - Online bookingNot verified
Availability not checked: we make no claim to know whether any units are still free.
Not verified
No date in this table is inferred: when a check has not been recorded, the row says “not verified” rather than showing today's date or the date the site went live.
Put it up against another
The parks the same trip could put up against it: similar driving time and estimated budget, so a real choice to make.
