5 reasons why you’ll want to trade your tent this summer

#1 Ultimate comfort after a long day of concerts

After hours of standing in front of the stages, dancing, and having fun in the sun (or rain!), returning to a comfortable accommodation is an affordable luxury. No more stubborn inflatable mattresses and morning dampness.

By booking one of our fully equipped accommodations and mobile homes, you can enjoy premium amenities:

• Real, cosy beds for a restful night's sleep, leaving you with energy to burn the next day.
• A private bathroom with toilet, saving you from endless queues and the basic hygiene of communal festival showers.
• A fully equipped kitchen to whip up a hearty breakfast or a hot coffee before heading back to the party.
• A warm, well-insulated living space, perfect whatever the Belgian weather brings.

#2 Space to relax with friends and keep your belongings dry

Our accommodations offer a much more spacious living area than a simple festival tent. Whether you choose our modern mobile homes, our safari tents, or our luxurious Ranger Lodges, you will have all the space you need to:

• Store your festival gear neatly (and keep your best outfits safe from dust or mud).
• Sit back comfortably on your private terrace to debrief after an exciting day.
• Share meals together around a real table.

It’s the perfect way to turn a multi-day festival into a truly enjoyable and relaxing getaway.

#3 A budget-friendly solution for groups of festival-goers

It is a common misconception that staying at a holiday park is out of reach for a festival weekend. Yet, our accommodations can host up to 8 people!

When you split the rental costs with your group of friends, the price per person turns out to be very affordable—and in some cases, much cheaper than buying multiple official festival camping passes. Plus, you don’t need to invest in expensive camping gear that you will only use once a year. At our Arden Parks Baalse Hei campsite, you can enjoy all our services at no extra cost.

#4 Escape the hustle and bustle and recharge in peace

Even the most passionate festival-goers sometimes need a break. Living 24/7 surrounded by crowds, heavy bass, and constant noise can quickly become exhausting.

At Baalse Hei campsite, you can enjoy an oasis of tranquility on the edge of a nature reserve. No noisy neighbors shouting under your window until dawn: you get a peaceful, wooded environment to fully recharge your batteries and tackle each new festival day in peak form.

#5 The perfect starting point for the biggest festivals in Belgium and the Netherlands

Thanks to its ideal location in Turnhout, our campsite is the perfect strategic base for attending the best music events in the region:

• 🎸 Graspop Metal Meeting (Dessel): Located just one hour from our campsite. You can easily get there by car, carpooling, or by using local public transport (on-demand bus).
• 🎧 Awakenings / Decibel Outdoor / Best Kept Secret (Safaripark Beekse Bergen): Located just across the Dutch border, these giant festivals are only a 40-minute bike ride from Baalse Hei! It is the perfect opportunity to avoid traffic jams by opting for a green and active commute.
• ☀️ Sunrise Festival & Sjock Festival (Lille): Just 40 minutes away by bike, or quickly accessible by car and on-demand bus.
• 🌴 Antilliaanse Feesten (Hoogstraten): Just a 30-minute drive from our estate.

Your day thus begins in total serenity and ends in absolute comfort. It’s the perfect blend of a unique festival atmosphere and the relaxation of a successful holiday.
