A new chapter: Stijn and Xander Brandt take over Camping Du Moulin
Since 2025, Camping Du Moulin has been under new management. Stijn Brandt, born and raised in Belgium, had long dreamed of running his own campsite – a place where people feel at home, can relax, and reconnect with nature. That dream came true in Aizelles, a hidden gem in northern France.
Together with his brother Xander, co-owner and an active presence on the campsite, Stijn brings fresh energy and a personal touch to this beautiful place. They share a passion for hospitality, nature, and outdoor living, and are committed to making Camping Du Moulin a warm, welcoming, and peaceful destination.
With great respect, they build on the foundation laid by Jean-Marie and Magali Merlo, who managed the campsite for many years with care, dedication and kindness. Thanks to their efforts, Camping Du Moulin became a beloved place for families, nature lovers, and seekers of tranquility — a spirit that Stijn and Xander are proud to carry forward.
