Naturism in Belgium

't Vennebos is the naturist residence park and campsite of Natuurleven vzw, a family-oriented naturist association that belongs to the Belgian naturist federation (FBN). It lies in woodland at Klein Opperstraat in Langdorp, part of Aarschot, where the Flemish Kempen meet the rolling countryside of Flemish Brabant, about 6 km from Aarschot town centre. The association's main activity is running its own grounds, which hold around 32 permanent annual plots alongside about 12 touring pitches and a few motorhome places with water, electricity and Wi-Fi. There is an outdoor swimming pool, and sanitary facilities are reported as very clean. Dogs are allowed. The association describes its aims as community without clothing barriers, body acceptance, closeness to nature and relaxation, and nude recreation is the norm across the site. It is a small, quiet site rather than a holiday resort, popular with walkers and cyclists, as it sits on the regional cycle-route network. The season runs from about 1 April to 30 September.

Athena Hélios

Athena Helios is a naturist campsite and day-recreation park in the woods at Meerbeek, part of Kortenberg between Brussels and Leuven. It is run by the non-profit Athena, a naturist association that also operates sites at Ossendrecht, Waimes and Ostend. The park covers about 5.5 hectares and takes caravans, motorhomes and tents on pitches with electricity, with a large share given over to seasonal and annual pitches; safari tents and a glamping tent are available to rent. Its main draw is a 25-metre open-air pool with a separate children's pool, which reopened in summer 2026 after repairs and attracted extra visitors during that June's heatwave. There is also a new sauna and a clubhouse with bar and terrace serving snacks and home-made spaghetti, but no full restaurant. Nudity is expected on the grounds. Many families with children come, and the manager told VRT in 2026 that anyone is welcome.

Athena Le Perron

Athena Le Perron is a naturist campsite run by Athena, a Flemish-rooted naturist association that also operates the Hélios grounds near Leuven and a park at Ossendrecht in the Netherlands. It lies at Agister, a hamlet of Waimes in the German-speaking East Cantons, on a slope at about 540 m that looks over the Warche valley, close to the Hautes Fagnes (High Fens) plateau and a few kilometres from Reinhardstein castle. The car-free grounds cover about 4.5 hectares, with pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, all with electricity, plus wooden pods and safari tents to rent. Facilities include two sanitary blocks (one under renovation in 2026), a clubhouse with bar and Wi-Fi serving snacks and pizzas, a heated outdoor pool, a children's paddling pool and playground with trampoline, and pétanque lanes; bread can be ordered in high season. Nudity is the norm on the grounds, which are family oriented, with children's activities in summer. Camping runs from April to September, and the pods can be booked all year. The altitude keeps it cool on hot days, and the area suits walking, cycling and, in winter, skiing. Dogs are not allowed.

Brunat

Brunat is a small naturist club in the Brussels region and a member of the Belgian naturist federation (FBN). It has no grounds of its own; activities centre on regular nude sauna and swimming sessions in hired facilities, plus walks, cycling trips and group weekends at naturist sites elsewhere in Belgium. New members sign the club charter, which stresses friendship and good humour. Contact is through the FBN website, as the club has no separate site.

Natuur Puur

Natuur Puur is a naturist association in Herselt, in the Kempen area of Antwerp province, and a member of the Belgian naturist federation (FBN). It offers members and visiting naturists a place to spend time nude in a green, rural setting. Details of its grounds and opening times are published on the club's own website, and visits are arranged with the club in advance, as is usual for Belgian naturist associations. An FBN or INF membership card is generally expected.

SoyNature - espace naturiste

SoyNature is a naturist association with its own grounds in the hamlet of Mélines near Soy, in the commune of Érezée in the Belgian Ardennes. The site offers open meadows for nude sunbathing and relaxing in a quiet, wooded landscape and is affiliated with the Belgian naturist federation (FBN). Visitors are expected to make contact in advance and to hold a naturist membership card. It is a small, rural spot rather than a large holiday resort.

Zonneleven (Bockstaelhoeve)

Zonneleven is a Dutch-speaking naturist association (VZW) whose ground lies in the Flemish Ardennes at Zegelsem, part of Brakel in East Flanders, on a former farmstead known as the Bockstaelhoeve. It is one of the larger Belgian clubs, with several hundred members, and it says it belongs to the Belgian naturist federation (FBN) and INF. It is a day ground only: there is no camping or overnight accommodation. The site covers a little over a hectare of lawns. Outside there is a large sunbathing lawn, an outdoor swimming pool, two wood-fired saunas, petanque courts, and a barbecue area with an outdoor kitchen. Tables, chairs and parasols are free to use. The old farmhouse holds the clubhouse: a bar with modest prices, a relaxation room with games, books and comics, a room for activities, showers and toilets, and an infrared cabin. Families get a playground, sandpit and trampoline within sight of the lawn, and the club actively welcomes young adults as well as experienced naturists. The summer season in 2026 ran from 11 April to 3 October. In June, July and August the bar opens every weekend and on public holidays, and at other times openings depend on the weather and the volunteers. In winter the club only opens for events.
