Hermitage Boomgaardcamping

A small naturist campsite in a 2.4-hectare orchard (boomgaard) in the "De Manteling" nature reserve, between Oostkapelle and Domburg (Walcheren, Zeeland). Only 17 pitches (6 belonging to the owners, 11 for rent), a 10-minute walk from the textile beach and a little further by bike from the nearby naturist beaches; the area, with woods and dunes, is good for walks and bike rides. A large barn with a terrace offers a library, games, a free fridge/freezer/microwave and free wi-fi; there is a playground with a trampoline, sandpit and swings for the little ones. No entertainment programme: the only regular activities are informal, Sunday coffee and the Wednesday barbecue (everyone brings their own food and drink) followed by a campfire. Children and pets are allowed (the latter on a leash and taken outside the campsite to relieve themselves). Open from early April to late September, with fixed weekly stays (Saturday to Saturday) in high season. Overall it is very highly regarded, especially for its peace and quiet, cleanliness and the hospitality of the owners; recently the only negative account describes an isolated conflict with the management over the rules on dogs.
