Excellent site

We only stayed here for one night but our impression was very positive. It had excellent facilities and the pitches were nicely spaced out and shaded. The pool is nice and the restaurant looked good even though we ate from the on-site takeaway. The site is a bit off the beaten track but is in a nice setting right by a river where lots of youngsters were enjoying paddling in the shallow waters. The evening entertainment by the site staff was popular although it was all in Dutch so we had no idea what was going on!

Go to La Clusure - It's fantastic

We are a family of four (two adults and two teenage children) and have recently returned from a weeks stay at La Clusure (mid-August 2022) and can honestly say it is one of the best campsites we have had the pleasure of visiting. It has obviously undergone some serious redevelopment since some of the previous reviewers have visited and now boasts a wonderful new family swimming pool, outside bar area and entertainment area along with an American style diner, which does burgers, pizza, milkshakes, ice cream etc. The site also has a great little shop with fresh bread and croissants daily and a nice bar/ restaurant, which whilst not the cheapest was good quality. Yes, the site caters predominantly for the Dutch market, however this should not be seen as a downside as in our experience the Dutch are fantastic people, very friendly, polite, helpful and easy to get along with as well as being great fun. It is also predominantly a family campsite with lots and lots of young children milling about all over the place. The site also boasts a great kids club, which keeps the young ones entertained all day and in to the evening. We did not experience excessive noise or any anti-social behaviour and the park has a no noise policy between 11pm and 7am, which was strictly policed by park wardens. The site is kept very clean, is well maintained and the staff and management were all very friendly, polite and helpful. La Clusure is ideally situated to explore the Ardenne region and is set amongst some beautiful countryside, with nearby towns a short drive away and well worth a wander around. Further afield there is Luxembourg (about an hours drive from the site), which is also worth exploring along with numerous World War 2 museums, battle fields and cemeteries. The European Space Agency visitor centre is also a short drive from the site and whilst not the cheapest day out, is worth a visit. All in all we really enjoyed our stay at La Clusure and would encourage people to visit as not many British families venture in to that part of Belgium according to the park staff. We would certainly not hesitate to stay at La Clusure again.

A fabulous out of season get away!

We stayed at La Clusure camp site in March 2019 for 5 nights. It was a great base to explore this corner of Belgium, the Ardennes & WW2 museums and Battle of the Bulge locations. The camp site is predominantly used by the Dutch, all very friendly, but can be a little noisy ( but please don’t let this put you off). We stayed early in the season and did not experience any noise problems at all. Staff were extremely welcoming & friendly. Shop & restaurant/bar only open during high season, but we didn’t miss these amenities. Well maintained facilities and heated shower block. Ask for 16 amps electric hook up on arrival to avoid any electrical problems. We found this to be a perfect base to visit the Ardennes, Bastogne etc. Just to note, some museums/attractions don’t open until April, so just plan ahead to check what is open before you travel. Highly recommended for out of season visit!

Probably the noisiest site I have ever been to!

Stayed here for a week in August - first thing to understand is that this site is 99.9% Dutch, all the staff are Dutch and all the entertainment is Dutch. The Dutch are probably the loudest nationality I have ever come across and allow their children to run feral throughout the site until well past midnight. So don't come here if you're after peace and quiet! We ended up moving pitches down to the bottom of the site to find some quiet and once we had done that it was OKish. The issue with everything being Dutch is that all of the entertainment is in Dutch and all of the activities are conducted in Dutch which makes them pretty much inaccessible to British children. Location wise it is quite an interesting area with some walking but finding out about routes is quite difficult, the staff don't really know much about the local walks as I don't think the Dutch really do much walking - so do your research before you arrive. Similarly research any tourist information before you arrive as there isn't much available on site, eg. there is an Ardennes open air museum just 2 miles from the site but no mention of it at all in the site information.

Lovlely Site

what a lovely site, we have just stayed for four nights stop over may 2019 on our way to Switzerland the site is peaceful and quiet at this time of year, In high season it could be Biscay at times I would imagine, but very peaceful at the time of year. the toilets and showers spotless and washing areas clean and tidy, the restaurant and bar area looked nice but we did not use it, spoken to someone camped at the side of us said it was a very nice meal in the restaurant. it only opens a few time to the end of the week the staff was helpful and friendly, there is a walk around the site along the rive that runs past lots of bird life and woodland surroundings, the site. as a main train line that runs past the site but that did not bother us, the site is a bit out of the way but you can still get around in the car if need to, the only thing it as not got is a swimming pool, if you have children that might be a problem for soon family's got a play areas for the children and a American style dinner on site called doggie dinner when open you can get food from it if you like to, we would come back to this site at some point what a lovely welcoming site if you need it peaceful come in may and June probably not so Biscay then.

A Gem

Stopped here for two nights early in May 2017 on our way to Italy, and found the place charming. The staff were so friendly, with excellent english. The facilities were beautifully modern and clean. The shop was a bonus as there didn't appear to be any other in the vicinity (quite a drive to the closest supermarket), and the restaurant and bar were excellent with good choice of meals. Not a bad word to say about the site - in fact booked again to stay on our return journey.

Fun to be had but noisy

Firstly the review by BARHAMS does not relate to this site - I think a mistake was made there. We stayed at Parc la Clusure for five nights in August. This is a large site which is very busy at the height of summer. The guests were overwhelmingly Dutch and everything is very much set up for Dutch speakers which we are not. The staff were helpful and friendly though and did speak English. The site and facilities were clean and tidy. The little shop is useful. The site seems very popular with Dutch families with children of all ages including teenagers, as well as couples and there was entertainment every evening which was popular. The pool is small and with the number of people of all ages trying to swim, it was not much fun. The downside for us was the noise. The evening entertainment was extremely loud and went on to around 11pm every evening. We did enjoy the band that played one evening but other than that it was not really for us, and was all in Dutch eg the bingo. The other source of noise was the trains. The track runs immediately adjacent to the entire length of the site. The trains run from early in the morning to late at night. At first we thought they would be OK, but combined with noise of the evening entertainment, it was too much for us. Having said all that, once the entertainment and trains had stopped for the night it was very quite. Because of the noise we would not return to this site.

So good we went back again

We initially booked for 10 days and planned to move onwards to Luxembourg and then Germany....we went on to Luxembourg for 10 days but instead of going onwards to Germany we decided to go back to La Clusure as we liked it so much. The staff are friendly, helpful and always available. The bar staff are particular good at making sure you are never kept waiting for a refill (we both loved the white beer) The site itself is well laid out, with utilities and social areas nicely spaced around the site, not all in one place. The toilet blocks were very modern and clean. Hot water showers were free, just press the timer button. Sitting outside the caravan in the evening and I saw fire flies....it was quite magical. The ground is well drained so although on two nights there were heavy rain and thunderstorms the area didn't become muddy. Parts of the site were a little stony so you may need heavier tent pegs. I also noticed that where some areas had become worn the ground staff would seed and water these areas to regenerate the grass. Very well looked after. Given the very hot weather we experienced the swimming pool was an absolute delight, surrounded by trees and lots of pool side seating and parasols to keep off the sun. I swam and my partner sat watching in the Bikini bar and supping white beer. We enjoyed the various entertainments that were arranged (birds of prey, music, etc.) and although we didn't take any children I could see that children were kept entertained each day too. My only criticism is that the pitches are not large and this was noticeable especially during high season. But this is my only criticism as we loved the place.

First stop going south

Large site with modern toilet blocks and very good WiFi. Pitches were all bare and muddy in September, it must have been very busy in high summer. Nice indoor and outdoor restuarent although we could'nt try because it was closed Monday & Tuesday. Nice swimming pool but too cold to try when we were there.Busy raiway nearby but we forgot about the noise after a while. Interesting towns in the area Rochfort, Bastogne and La Roche have much WW1 history and worth a visit.

Overcrowded and over rated

This might appear smart but is one of the worst sites I have stayed in on the continent. The pitches are small, and the staff young and quite ignorant in what is needed to run a good site. It was bad enough in September, but with all 400 plus pitches occupied in high season it would be unbearable. Take my advice and give this one a miss.
