The grounds and campsites

ECOlonie offers a unique nature campsite with a diverse landscape made up of various fields, each with its own distinct character. There are approximately 75 spacious pitches, primarily for tents, with a limited number of spots available for caravans and campers. This ensures that every camper can find their perfect spot.

Nestled in the natural beauty of the Lower Vosges, the campsite provides access to stunning forest edges, picturesque streams, and rolling hills. The grounds are completely car-free, allowing you to fully enjoy the peace of nature while children can play freely. Scattered across the campsite are cozy seating areas, shady corners, and sunny open fields, making it an ideal setting for relaxation and connection.

Camping in peace and nature

Our camping fields

  • By the lake: A charming field surrounded by trees, close to the water.
  • The orchard: Cozy, sheltered spots, perfect for small tents.
  • Spacious family tent fields: Ideal for families with larger tents and plenty of play space.
  • Petit Bois and the 'zilverweide': Fields with stunning open views, perfect for those seeking tranquility.

Most fields are intentionally kept simple and do not have electricity hookups. However, there are charging points on-site for small electronic devices. Caravans and campers have a separate field with a limited number of spaces, where electricity is available.

Flexible placement
Upon arrival, we’ll help you choose from the available spots, doing our best to match your preferences. Reservations ensure a place on our campsite but not a specific pitch.

Peace and quiet
Peace and quiet are core values at Ecolonie. We kindly ask guests to respect the natural surroundings and each other between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am, helping to maintain a relaxed atmosphere for everyone.

Facilities for a pleasant stay
Even in the early season, our campsite offers a delightful experience. Alongside the beautiful pitches, you can enjoy our cozy dining hall and the welcoming library with a seating area—perfect for reading, relaxing, or staying indoors on rainy days. Our nature campsite is also completely unlit, so you can camp under true darkness, saving energy and embracing nature.

At ECOlonie, we blend simplicity, nature, and hospitality to create a space where you can truly unwind.

Children’s Festival: One week in August, our grounds host the Children’s Festival ("het Eigentijds Kinderfestival").
