Beware of thieves on the camping site; especially when you come for a big event (like e.g. the Hardcore Vistival)! On Belgian festivals there are always thieves who try to sneak into people's tents. They look like festival visitors and sometimes they even put their tent on the camping site. But when the people sleep at night and when the public goes to the festival they enter the gaunted tents and steal everything in it. Some years ago several visitors of the Hardcore Vistival and a band who played on this festival were robbed. Don't leave valuable things in your tent when you leave it! If you see something suspicious then please warn the person in charge of the camping.
