Kudos for Cheap Motorhome Parking
Can't pass up an opportunity to spread the word about a company we just learned about, whose mission is to develop inexpensive motorhome (RV, camping car, etc.) parking near large cities in Belgium. Once the Belgium sites are opened, they plan to expand to other European countries.
Today, we were declined entrance at "De Molen," across the river from Antwerp. Apparently they can have only 6 motorhomes at a time on the premises. They provided pre-printed directions for the site we would be welcomed. Feeling a little out of sorts, we headed out.
Turns out, "Vogelzang" is an old campground that is being revamped for motorhomes only (no caravans, sorry). It's currently free and electricity is 2 EURO/night. You have to use the site's adaptors to connect. It's closer to Antwerp than De Molen and the guys running the business are super friendly - even making sure we knew how to find the public transit and providing a tourist map!
Here's the location information:
Site name: Vogelzang - small signpost at entrance for "camping"
and "no caravans"
GPS Coordinates: 51.19033N 4.40227E
Street Address: Vogelzanglaan - take exit 5 off R1, follow toward Berchem/Wilrijk.
Utilities Available: water (currently on request due to repairs to the system); electricity (2 EURO / day); chemi toilet
Internet Connectivity: Via free public wi-fi signal from Crowne Plaza Hotel (Thank you!!) [yes, it's designated as a free hot spot in the description.]
Proximity to Public Transit: About 200m to bus and tram lines that t
ake you in to the city

Here's to a fun visit to Antwerp. Spring is in the air - it was clear and even a little warm today!
Ciao!
