Campground Bargeweg Bruge (couple trip)
How Couple-Friendly is Campground Bargeweg Bruge?
What makes it 70% Couple-Friendly: A couple can park their van and walk hand-in-hand to Minnewater and the Begijnhof in minutes, but the utilitarian asphalt lot lacks toilets, privacy or scenic pitches that boost romance.
Positives:
- Scenic Location: Pitches line the canal for sunrise and sunset views over the water.
- Essential Hookups: Free electricity plus paid fresh water onsite keep you self-sufficient.
- Easy City Access: A short walk leads to Bruges’ main sights without city-center parking fees.
Challenges:
- No Onsite Sanitation: The site lacks toilets and showers; use facilities in town or onboard.
- First-Come, First-Served: With no reservations, arrive before midday to secure a canal-front pitch.

Gillian Griffiths
So convenient for the town centre. Facilities electricity, water, waste and toilet empty. We stayed 6 nights in Dec for Christmas Market. Cost €150 £131 . Travelled to Ghent by train under £20 return for 2. Double decker trains, frequent and on time..

Can't fault it. Electricity, water, waste were all good when we were there early Dec. Brugge is fabulous and only 15/20 min walk away to the centre. So much to see, especially at Christmas. We will definitely come back. It's a very busy Aire, get quite full late afternoon, so try and get there before midday. Coach park next to it but very quiet at night. No toilets or showers, so youuch be self su...

5/2/24 & June 24: This Motorhome site is ideal for investigating the wonders of Brugge, its architecture, restaurants, bars, canal trips, horse and carriage rides and of course the spenders of its chocolate shops. There are two types of pitches on site; narrower ones closer to the entrance barrier (about 4 metres wide) and wider pitches roughly over 4.5 metres; all capable of taking an 8 metre van...
Barrie Simpson
Great site with all the services for €30 a night, worth it as it is literally in the city and you can walk there to see the wonderful buildings and canal network. A very beautiful city with some great restaurants and bars.

I wish the black water/toilet dump area was much more clean and doesn't stink whole year massively. Very good location of the camp though,close to the center across the beautiful bridge. Kind advice: come here not later than 10 a.m, otherwise will be no free space for motorhomes with the electric hookups.
