Cardholder Discount Checklist: Showing CKE, ADAC, PiNCAMP or SVR on Arrival

If you want to claim your camping discount without hassle, one small step matters more than anything else: have your CKE, ADAC, PiNCAMP or SVR card ready at check-in. At Camping Drei Spatzen, eligible cardholders can receive a discount on the pitch price, but the reduction is applied when you show a valid card on arrival. That makes a simple arrival checklist one of the easiest ways to save time and avoid confusion at reception.

In this guide, you will learn which cards qualify, how the discount works, when it applies, and what to prepare before you travel. You will also find practical tips for guests booking a Nature pitch, Comfort+ pitch, RV site, or Trekking pitch.

Which cards qualify for a discount?

At Camping Drei Spatzen, guests with a valid CKE, ADAC, PiNCAMP or SVR card can receive a discount when they present the card at check-in.

Eligible cards at a glance

The key requirement is simple: bring a valid card and show it on arrival.

What discount do cardholders receive?

The discount applies to the pitch price.

Discount rates by season

This gives guests a straightforward benefit, especially when planning a stay outside the busiest weeks of the year.

Can the discount be combined with other discounts?

No. Cardholder discounts are not stackable with other discounts.

That means if you are using an SVR, CKE, ADAC, or PiNCAMP card, the reduction stands on its own rather than being added to another promotion or discount arrangement.

Is the discount always valid in high season?

The short answer is: not always.

Camping Drei Spatzen states that these discounts are not always valid in high season. At the same time, the stated discount structure includes 5 % in the high season. Because high-season conditions can vary, the safest approach is to keep your card ready and confirm the applicable reduction at check-in.

High season period

For several pitch categories, the high season runs from July 1 to September 1.

This period is relevant for:

Cardholder discount checklist before you leave

A smooth arrival starts before you get in the car. Use this cardholder discount checklist to make sure the process is easy.

1. Check that your card is valid

Before departure, confirm that your CKE, ADAC, PiNCAMP or SVR card is still valid for your travel dates.

2. Keep the card easy to reach

Do not pack it deep inside a suitcase or glove compartment. Keep it in a place you can access quickly during check-in, such as:

3. Match the card name with your booking details

It is practical to ensure the reservation details and the cardholder details are easy to verify on arrival.

4. Review your pitch type in advance

The discount applies to the pitch price, so it helps to know which type of pitch you booked.

Camping Drei Spatzen offers several camping options, including:

5. Understand what is and is not included

Knowing the base pitch price helps you understand how the discount is applied. Extras such as electricity, additional persons, or pets may be charged separately depending on the pitch type.

6. Bring your reservation details

Reservations are made via the reservation form on the relevant accommodation page. Bringing your confirmation details can speed up arrival and make check-in more efficient.

How the discount fits with different pitch types

Because the discount applies to the pitch price, it helps to understand the campsite’s main pitch categories and rates.

Overview of selected pitch prices

Pitch type Pre- and post-season High season Electricity
Trekking pitch €15.50 per night €18.00 per night €1.50 per night
Comfort+ pitch €28.00 per night €33.50 per night €2.00 per night
Nature pitch €30.00 per night €33.50 per night €2.00 per night
RV site €20.00 per night €26.00 per night €3.00 per night

Notes that are useful on arrival

If you are comparing pitch options before booking, this is also a good time to explore the differences between Comfort+, Nature, Trekking, and RV stays.

What happens at check-in?

The process is simple.

Check-in steps for cardholders

  1. Arrive with your valid CKE, ADAC, PiNCAMP or SVR card.
  2. Present the card at check-in.
  3. The campsite can then apply the eligible discount to the pitch price.

This is why the “on arrival” part matters. If the card is not presented at check-in, the discount process becomes less straightforward than simply showing it immediately.

Why keeping the card handy matters

After a long journey, most campers want one thing: a quick, easy arrival. Searching bags, boxes, or paperwork at reception slows everything down.

A simple habit helps:

That gives you a compact check-in set and reduces the chance of forgetting anything important.
