campsite Au Bord de l'Ourthe (1-Ouder), Ardennes
Single Parent Camping Au Bord de l'Ourthe is a charming campsite located on the grounds of an old Ardennes inn. The campsite is nestled among the rocks in an area known as the "Gateway to the Ardennes." The main building is constructed from the characteristic grey stone sourced from local quarries.
On the Campsite
The facilities at the campsite are well maintained, with clean sanitary facilities and new safari tents equipped with all modern conveniences. For those who prefer, festival bell tents are also available—perfect for children who would love to have their own tent next to the safari tent. The tents offer plenty of privacy but are also arranged in a way that encourages spontaneous interactions with other single-parent families.
The campsite is particularly suited for single-parent families with older children, especially due to the wide range of outdoor activities on offer. An outdoor activity centre is located nearby, and there are daily activities organised for children, tailored to their age and interests. For parents, workshops such as yoga and sporty workouts are available, often for an additional fee. The campsite also provides sports and play equipment that children can use freely.
Directly by the River
Au Bord de l'Ourthe is situated right on the banks of the Ourthe River, a favourite spot for canoeists. There is a lovely cycle path along the river, and the campsite offers yellow bicycles free of charge, perfect for a quick trip into the village. Fishing in the river is also an option.
Less than a ten-minute drive away is the village of Comblain-au-Pont, with a selection of charming shops and cafés. Rivage, an old mining village on the Ourthe, is located about 20 kilometres south of Liège. The well-known Remouchamps caves are nearby, but the caves of Comblain-au-Pont are perhaps even more impressive.
The surrounding area offers countless opportunities for cycling, hiking, and practising mountain sports. Popular activities include zip-lining, mountain biking, climbing, abseiling, and hiking. A visit to the old quarry with its attractions, the Abbey of Banneux, or the picturesque town of Durbuy is also highly recommended. Those looking to venture further afield should consider Liège, a vibrant city with a beautiful centre, a bustling Sunday market, and distinctive districts such as the African quarter. The city is also easily accessible by train.
For families with children, there is plenty to do, including a day out at Plopsaland. The campsite offers a festive atmosphere every day, and guests can choose to stay for a long holiday, a midweek break, or a long weekend. The unique Friends²Camp concept, designed specifically for single-parent families, ensures that both parents and children have ample opportunities to make new friends.
