Camping Memling

We are considering making a booking at Camping Memling.

Does anyone have any experience of staying there?

The website makes it look like a very good site, but it%26#39;s always nice to get a recommendation as well.

Thanks!

We stayed there for 2 nights June 2008. Efficient booking - confirmation email didn%26#39;t reach us before we left, but there was a little plaque with our name on it on the pitch. They hire out bikes, which are essential if you want to enjoy Bruges, - about 10 mins ride away.

Only thing that caught us out was that they don%26#39;t have toilet paper in the loos;- hadn%26#39;t run out, there was no facility for it at all.Also no soap in the dispenser - whether that was accident or design I don%26#39;t know.

Pitches are quite small, but a nice friendly place.

If you are shopping locally, there%26#39;s an Aldi %26amp; a Lidle just down the road, but the Aldi was useless!

There%26#39;s no shop on site. Reception guy spoke excellent English (but so did virtually everyone else we spoke to in Belgium. French seemed completely useless - all signs in Dutch/ Flemish; never in French)

Thanks.

Sorry it %26#39;s taken so long to reply, my pc hasn%26#39;t been playing recently!

We%26#39;re staying at Memling at the end of the month.

Looking forward to it.

Gets very busy at public holidays with motorhomes and camper vans.Try to avoid pitching in a corner if poss. Great spot though if you like a walk, it%26#39;s about 30 mins walk into Brugge and there%26#39;s a McDonalds handy if you%26#39;ve got Kids. Massive Carrefour Hypermarket/Fuel/Restaurant is on main road just after crossroads. Also across from McDs is a great Outdoor shop if you need camping bits and pieces.

I%26#39;d stay here again

We%26#39;re recently back from a 6 night stay.

I would definitely recommend this site to anyone, whether camping or in a camper / caravan.

It was VERY busy, so I guess it would be imperative to pre book during the summer season.

In response to post re signs in Flemish not French. French is spoken in the South of Belgium - the area around Bruges is Flemish speaking. We stayed in Belgium for nearly 3 years and were told more than once that if you%26#39;re in the North and don%26#39;t speak Flemish they prefer you to speak English rather than French !!. In the South they seemed to enjoy hearing my %26quot;stumbling-aided by a dictionary%26quot; French so they could reply in perfect English. But we loved it anyway

I stayed here for a 1 night stop over on my way back from Germany, in a 2 man tent.

It does get very busy, they are quite happy to let tents take up any available patch of grass bigger than a postage stamp, also if you have booked a pitch with no electricity on the %26#39;tent field%26#39; then the chances that someone else has already taken your spot when you reach it are very very high! Perhaps not the best place to stay if you can%26#39;t stand having a stranger snoring all night 2 feet from your tent door! On the plus side a strict 10:30 silence curfew keeps the site peaceful.

Yes it is a bit of a squeeze - so if you have a large tent (i.e. more than a 2 man tent) I would book a pitch with a electric hook up, even if you don%26#39;t use it. At least then it will be easier to reclaim your pitch from any invaders!

Apart from this it is a great little site, showers are hot, staff are friendly, helpful and speak good English. Toilets can get a bit dirty, but then there are a lot of people sharing them! The fairy lights decorating the site are a little old in places but add a nice effect.

They also have some apartments and huts for rent, but I didn%26#39;t see them. The caravan/touring part of the site looked busy but pretty nice.

We walked into Bruges, which took about 30min at a easy pace to reach the market square. There are also bikes to hire and very good cycle paths which are off the main road.
