Like all extermination camps it was small as nearly all prisoners were killed as soon as possible after arrival. The only exceptions were those selected to help the Nazis sort the belongings of the victims and to dispose of the corpses. Belzec was almost square and measured approximately 275m by 275m except on one side.
275 x 275 sq. metres is about 18.7 acres.

How many extermination camps were in Europe?
By 1941, the Nazis began building Chelmno, the first extermination camp (also called death camp), in order to "exterminate" both Jews and Gypsies. In 1942, three more death camps were built (Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec) and used solely for mass murder. Around this time, killing centers were also added at the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Majdanek. So i would say 6 or more.
How many people escaped from Belzec?
From a statistically point of view, Belzec was the most 'efficient' extermination camp of all. In January 1943, when the camp had ceased to operate, the SS recorded the number of Jews killed there as 434,508.There were only two known successful escapes - Rudolf Reger and Chaim Hirszman. However, Hirszman was murdered by Polish antisemites in 1946. In that year Reger emigrated to Canada. (There are stories about possibly 4 or 5 other escapes, but the escapers were caught in later round-ups ...)
