Rain? So much to do indoors

Every camper knows the feeling: you wake up and it is drumming on the tent canvas. No worries, the Kempen has enough indoor fun for a whole wet week.

In Herentals you dive into the Netepark, a covered swimming paradise with slides and a wild water creek. Discover science at Hidrodoe, where children learn by doing what water can do. And in Turnhout you step into the Playing Card Museum, where old printing presses show why this city is world-famous among card players.

Rather soak up some atmosphere? The abbeys of Postel and Tongerlo hold centuries of history under their vaults, and the cafés around the Kempen market squares are twice as cosy in rainy weather.

Tip: many campsites have their own covered play area or cosy brasserie. That way a rainy day simply becomes a different kind of holiday.
