It's in Belgium! (Ypres)
Embarassed I've moved it.

We stopped off there 2 years ago, but didn't stay overnight - I believe there is a sate / aire just down the road on the riverside (outside the gate)?

Hi Bri,

Short walk into town and the Menin Gate and 12 euro's a night. Great site.

We often stay here on our way to/ from holiday or just a weekend.
They are very helpful and when I organised a weekend for my son, who is a seacadet, all was done to make sure that it went off without a hitch. The cadets layed a wreath at the gate.

Have fun.

Maddie

Yes, that is where we stayed.

A couple of years ago, you could stay overnight at the leisure centre just down from the menin gate. Worth checking if you only want to stay to see the nightly ceremony.

I think that's what Maddie has posted the link to - when we were there they were doing loads of work on it; the facilities look excellent now, good idea to have separate MH hard standings at a lower rate than full pitches (Memling camping at Brugge please note!!)

That is indeed the link. If you stay on a pitch, it is more expensive. In my opinion, you don't need the full pitch unless you put awning, safariroom, etc. out. You still have more then enough space to put your table and chairs outside. Either next to, in front or behind the motorhome.

Although I love camping Memling at Brugge, they are taking the mick somewhat with their prices. We always come in late and so use the overnight place right outside the office. They still charge you the full whack. This campsite belongs to the town of Brugge like the campsite in Ypres is owned by the town, so I think that any complaints should go to the city council.

We stayed at the Jeugdstadion site last month. The renovations are now complete and was charged 12 Euros a night for a hard standing, EHU, and access to all the camping facilities (showers/toilets etc). Excellent site with friendly English speaking staff. We walked out of the back of the site and along side the moat for about 10 minutes to the Menin Gate for the 8pm ceremony. I noticed that some motorhomes were parked for an overnight stop in the road along side the moat. We stayed for 3 nights and as well as visiting the Flanders Museum also did a very interesting "Over the Top" battlefield tour.

Endorse the comments re Juegstadion.

When we were there in April the Aire appeared to be non existent now. Although there was one ancient motorhome parked on the road by the moat, there was no sign of any occupants.

The coaches seem to use that road for parking in the evening while their passengers attend the ceremony.

The ceremony is very moving and the memorial is incredible but also makes one very very sad.

We stayed at Jeugstadion last month for 2 nights.
Good facilities, short walk to town and Menin Gate, cheap.
The hard standing pitches were quite small, little bigger than a Aire.
I tried to book over the internet by email but got no answer. I suggest that you book by 'phone as there are not many pitches.
