A lovely, relaxed campsite in a top location
For several years now, after our holiday we decide once again to spend our autumn break at Camping de Berken the following year. A beautiful, spacious pitch with private sanitary facilities, direct access from the campsite to the purple heather route, lovely cycling routes starting right from the campsite, and excellent restaurants nearby. Here, we have everything we enjoy.
