Juniper Campground (Lier, Belgium)

Open most of the year, but may close in the winter depending on the weather. The gate to Frijoles Canyon closes for the night at sundown and opens at 7AM, the entrance to this campground is just before the gate. There is a 24-hour paystation close to the entrance to pay camping fees (not entrance fees). The station accepts cash and most credit cards using a do-it-yourself keypad and credit card reader. After dark, its lights turn on automatically when someone approaches the station. Campsite fees are good until 12 noon, more than a single day can be paid for at one time. First-come, first-serve, no reservations. 94 sites, no hook-ups, but centrally-located water taps and a dump station are available. Each site has a paved parking pad, picnic table and fire grill. Parking pads, picnic tables and tent sites are nearly all sloped, a few pieces of 2 inch x 6 inch slabs of wood will usually prove helpful in levelling vehicles and picnic tables. During extreme fire hazard conditions building of fires in the grills may be prohibited. It is always a good idea to bring a fueled stove for cooking rather than to rely only on the possibility of building a fire in the grill. The restrooms have electrical outlets, flush toilets, sinks with hand soap dispensers, and special sanitary sinks to dump small portable toilets and gray water from dishwashing. No showers (available for a fee at the public pool and the YMCA in Los Alamos, 12 miles/20 km away). Limit 10 people/2 vehicles/3 tents per site. Firewood gathering is not permitted. Pets are permitted only in campsites, parking areas, or along roadways, and must be on leash. Evening programs are offered at campground amphitheater in summer as staffing permits; check the bulletin boards on the restrooms.
