Description by the author

't RHODESGOED, green lung on the border of Roeselare and Izegem, where campers are now also welcome.

Whether you're coming to catch a breath of fresh air in the beautiful nature or staying overnight with a camper and enjoying a delicious takeaway meal, the beautiful setting of 't Rhodesgoed gives everyone the opportunity to let go and relax. Forget the daily stress and hustle and enjoy intensely. 't Rhodesgoed, a place where you can let go for a moment and happily return!

Rhodesgoed is a young forest spanning 40 hectares. Despite its young age, this domain already hosts a rich collection of animals and plants. The combination of forests, ponds, open fields, and flower-rich meadows provides the ideal backdrop for a surprising walk. The Rhodebeek, meandering through the area, adds extra life to the scenery.
