Pitch types and how to set up smoothly

Camping Drei Spatzen offers several pitch options. Below you’ll find the essentials to help you set up quickly and correctly on arrival.

Dedicated Camper Pitches (near the main building)

• What you get: Each camper pitch has a 16 A electricity hookup, its own water point, and a drainage outlet.
• Arrival day setup tips:
  • Connect to the 16 A power supply with an appropriate, safe cable.
  • Fill fresh water and confirm drainage placement before extending awnings.
  • Keep access routes clear and position your vehicle considerately for neighbors.

Comfort Camping Pitches

• What you get: Electricity, Wi‑Fi, fresh water, and a drainage connection.
• Arrival day setup tips:
  • Decide device placement early (for shade, view, or proximity to connectors) before pegging down.
  • Connect power last—after your unit is stable and level—so you can check cable runs are tidy and trip‑free.
  • If connectivity matters, confirm Wi‑Fi signal at your spot before finalizing your setup.

Comfort+ Tent Pitches (car‑free, min. 100 m²)

• What you get: Car‑free tent pitches, most along the small on‑site stream, each with its own electricity connection.
