Why Comfort+ pitches suit large caravans
Comfort+ pitches are purpose‑designed to make setup straightforward for bigger units. Here’s what makes them a strong match for large caravans:

- Firm, stable surface: Comfort+ pitches provide a firm surface so even larger caravans can be set up without problems.
- Private utilities at the pitch: Every Comfort+ pitch comes with its own water tap and a grey‑water drain, so you can connect directly without trekking to shared points.
- Reliable connectivity: Wi‑Fi is included on Comfort+ pitches at no extra cost.
- Flexible power options: Comfort+ pitches offer 8 A or 16 A electricity depending on location—ideal whether you run a light setup or prefer more headroom for appliances. Electricity is an optional extra on Comfort+ at €2.00 per night.

Choosing the right Comfort+ pitch for your big caravan
When you arrive with a long caravan, a little pre‑planning pays off. Consider these factors to select the pitch that fits your style and setup:
1) Amperage vs. usage
- Choose N1–N7 or N11 (16 A) if you expect to use multiple or higher‑draw appliances.
- Choose C1, C2, C4–C10 (8 A) if you prioritize a creek‑side ambiance and run a lighter electric load.
2) Space preference
- All Comfort+ pitches have generous room, but N5 and N6 offer extra‑large pads ideal for long outfits, bigger awnings, or a more expansive outdoor setup.
3) Surroundings and vibe
- The creek‑side “Aan de Beek” field is a favorite for its natural setting beside the campsite’s small stream (great for children to clamber, but not for swimming).
- The village‑side and central Comfort+ areas keep you close to core facilities.
Note: Car‑free Nature and Comfort+ tent pitches are reserved for tents and are not intended for caravans. For caravans, select from the Comfort+ caravan‑friendly pitches listed above.
Step‑by‑step: Setting up a large caravan on Comfort+ pitches
Follow this simple sequence to arrive, position, and connect smoothly.
1) Arrive and check in
- Check‑in for camping pitches: 13:00–17:00. Check‑out is 08:30–11:00.
- Grab the campsite map to confirm your pitch location and the quickest route in.
- Enjoy the quiet valley setting with no through traffic—perfect after a long drive.
2) Position on the firm surface
- Use the firm pitch base to stabilize the caravan and align your door and awning with your preferred view.
- Leave safe clearance for neighbors and for opening lockers and compartments.
3) Level the caravan
- Use your usual leveling aids to ensure accurate fridge and appliance operation and comfortable sleeping.
4) Connect water and drainage
- Connect your private water tap using your hose.
- Route your grey water directly to your pitch drain. If needed, a short hose makes this clean and easy.
5) Hook up electricity (8–16 A)
- Electricity on Comfort+ is an optional extra (€2.00 per night).
- Verify your pitch amperage and manage loads accordingly (see Power Planning below).
- Use a suitable camping power cable and adapter; connect and test before switching on larger appliances.
6) Lay flooring the right way
- No plastic tarps or root canvas are permitted under awnings or canopies. Use a breathable camping groundsheet or tent carpet to protect the grass.
7) Connect to Wi‑Fi and settle in
- Wi‑Fi is included on Comfort+ pitches—connect your devices and you’re ready for route planning or a relaxing movie night.
8) Explore on‑site essentials
- Showers are included in your pitch price; you’ll also find a washing machine and dryer (small fee per cycle).
- There’s a communal fire and BBQ area for a classic camp evening.
Power planning for 8 A vs. 16 A (made simple)
Good power planning keeps things running smoothly and avoids tripping breakers.
- On 8 A pitches (creek‑side C1, C2, C4–C10):
- Prioritize essentials and avoid running multiple high‑draw devices at once.
- Stagger use (for example, heat water after you’ve finished using other appliances).
- On 16 A pitches (N1–N7, N11):
- Enjoy more headroom for concurrent appliance use.
- Still switch off what you don’t need—efficient use preserves campsite harmony and safety.
General best practices:
- Use correctly rated cables, keep connections off wet ground, and don’t daisy‑chain adapters.
- Turn larger appliances on one at a time and observe for any overload signs.
