🏕️ Camping

Welcome to my home. I live in a tiny house on a 3800 m² plot in Bois de Roly (Philippeville, Belgium); a domain made of residential woods within Viroin Hermeton Nature Park. There is plenty of space and I am happy to welcome happy campers over, so long as everyone is respectful of the space and leaves no trace so that nature can thrive.
