Emilie's opinion

Grand Lierne is a beautiful, shady campsite in the middle of nature.


Following the reviews from our customers, we invested a lot in 2018 and 2019 to expand the water park. In 2018 we added 2 large water slides. In 2019, we removed the existing pool cover and replaced it with a huge new cover of 936m². We kept the beautiful swimming pool below and added a second one!
