Actually the above is not a problem you are allowed to close tags if you
want (and IMO you shoud)

Your problem is that you are directly nesting ordered lists

<ol>
<li><a href="Camping/index">Camping</a></li>
 <ol>
 <li><a href="Camping/wawbeek">Camp Wawbeek</a></li>

The spec lays out that the only allowed content of an ordered list is an li
element

from the spec:
<!-- Ordered (numbered) list -->

<!ELEMENT ol (li)+>

Change the above to

<ol>
<li><a href="Camping/index">Camping</a></li>
<li>
 <ol>
 <li><a href="Camping/wawbeek">Camp Wawbeek</a></li>

(Big Snip)
 </ol>
</li>
</ol>

And you will validate.
