Café de Congé opened in 2015 and was primarily intended as a meeting and resting point for all guests of Camping Houtum. The name is local dialect: 'café' means bar and 'congé' means vacation or holiday. So 'Bar the Vacation' if you want...
But in Houtum everyone is always a bit 'in congé' or 'on a holiday', so even if you are not staying with us you are very welcome! Come and have a drink, enjoy a small snack, play a game inside or outside, read a book or just relax. Everything is possible!

A TOP campsite!
On a colleague’s recommendation, we came to Houtum — and we didn’t regret it! The café was such a pleasant surprise!

Great place, we’ll be back!
After a friendly welcome, we were shown to our pitch. The café next to the campsite is a lovely extra for some relaxation.Wij proberen zeker terug te komen.

A wonderful holiday experience nearby
Every time we stay here for a few nights, we’re always satisfied. The surroundings are beautiful, and the on-site café adds to the cosy atmosphere.
