Company history/background
The company is a unique, medium-sized campsite in the Belgian Ardennes, situated on a safe river with no risk of flooding. The campsite is open from mid-April through the autumn holidays. The campsite does not have permanent annual guests. The business is located just 30 minutes from the Dutch border and offers everything one can expect from the Belgian Ardennes in the immediate vicinity: caves, rivers, vast nature, and picturesque towns. All well-known Ardennes attractions and sights are located within a maximum one-hour drive. There is a heated swimming pool and a spacious central building. The campsite features a large central building for hospitality and other activities.
The acquisition concerns the operation and the entire site, buildings, and structures.
Company activities
The customer base consists primarily of Dutch and Flemish people. More than 50% are returning guests, and the composition of the travel groups is very diverse. Additionally, the campsite is strong in group bookings, which ensures a relatively high occupancy rate during the low season. The campsite has 80 rental accommodations available, in various designs and price ranges. This number can be further developed within the existing permit.
