Hidden Belgium: Spend the night in a vintage caravan

Hidden Belgium: Spend the night in a vintage caravan

Adventurous travellers can spend the night in a vintage caravan parked inside an abandoned brickworks on the edge of Ghent.

The quirky Treck Hostel offers guests a room in one of nine caravans decorated in different styles, including one decorated by a Ghent street artist and another with a Hawaiian beach theme.

Each caravan has its own little garden with deckchairs, random tables and potted plants. The hostel also has a bar, play area and bikes to get you into town.

It’s maybe not for light sleepers, but perfect for anyone looking for something a little on the wild side.
