Comfort pitches: Compact, connected, and convenient
Comfort pitches deliver the core hookups—electricity, water, drainage, and Wi‑Fi—in a smart, space‑efficient footprint ideal for tent campers and smaller caravans.
Size and layout
- Comfort pitches are generally 80–100 m², designed for easy setup and a cozy outdoor area.
Locations and pitch‑by‑pitch details
- Aan de Beek (C2): by the small creek with a view to the forest edge. This pitch offers an 8 A power connection, a private water tap, and a drainage hole. Amenities and a small playground are a short walk away.
- De Wasbeer (N12, N14): at the front of the campsite near the small village of Utscheid. These pitches sit along a paved camping road. Both provide a 16 A power connection with a shared water point and shared drainage. N14 looks onto the small playground and hills; N12 adds privacy with a higher green hedge.
Power and pricing
- Electricity can be added for €2.00 per night.
- Showers are included in the pitch price.
Suitability and tips
- Best for tents and smaller caravans.
- Due to weight and softer ground, campervans over 6 m are not suitable for Comfort pitches.
Comfort+ pitches: Extra space, private water, and strategic locations
Comfort+ pitches step things up with more room to spread out and a private water/grey‑water setup at every pitch. You can choose by ambiance—creek‑side charm or central convenience.
Size and layout
- Expect approximately 100–130 m², giving families and longer stays more breathing room.
Facilities that stand out
- Private water tap and grey‑water drain on every Comfort+ pitch.
- Electricity capacity varies by field:
- Creek‑side Comfort+ options provide 8 A (great for low‑draw appliances).
- Central and village‑side Comfort+ (including N11 and N1–N7) provide 16 A, ideal when you need a bit more headroom.
Location highlights
- N11 “De Eekhoorn”: centrally located beside the terrace and just steps from a playground and the sanitary block—perfect for families who value quick access to facilities.
- Other Comfort+ fields let you pick a waterside feel along the small on‑site stream or go for an extra‑spacious pitch away from the water.
Campervan suitability
- Not all Comfort+ pitches are suitable for campervans. Many are fine up to about 6 m, but always check in advance so the team can match you to a suitable spot.
Power and pricing
- Electricity can be added for €2.00 per night.
- The nightly rate for up to two people is €30.00 (pre/post‑season) and €33.50 (1 July–1 September). Water, grey‑water drainage, waste disposal, Wi‑Fi, and showers are included.
8 A vs. 16 A: Which power supply do you need?
When choosing Comfort vs. Comfort+, many campers weigh power capacity:
- 8 A supports essential, lower‑draw camping use (for example, charging devices, LED lighting, or a small camping fridge). It’s a good fit if you keep simultaneous appliance use minimal.
- 16 A gives more margin for combined loads and short bursts (such as a kettle plus lighting or a small heater in cool weather). It’s helpful if you prefer extra flexibility.
Practical approach:
- If you favor creek‑side atmosphere and run only light gear, 8 A is typically sufficient.
- If you value central access and anticipate higher loads, aim for 16 A pitches like N11 or the village‑side options.
Stream‑side serenity, central convenience
- The on‑site stream is a charming play spot for children to clamber and explore. It’s not suitable for swimming, but it adds a tranquil soundtrack to creek‑side pitches.
- The campsite sits in a small valley without a through road, so you’ll enjoy a calm, traffic‑free atmosphere—more birdsong, fewer engines.
- Families appreciate the two playgrounds, and in high season, light nature‑focused activities help kids meet and play.
- Prefer to be close to amenities? Choose a central Comfort+ pitch like N11 next to the terrace and sanitary block.

Who should choose Comfort vs. Comfort+?
Choose Comfort if you want:
- A budget‑friendly, fully connected pitch for tents or smaller caravans
- Creek‑side charm on a compact footprint (e.g., C2 with private tap/drain and 8 A)
- A village‑side vibe with 16 A power and shared water/drain (e.g., N12, N14)
Choose Comfort+ if you prefer:
- Extra space (100–130 m²) for family tents, awnings, and outdoor dining
- A private tap and grey‑water drain on every pitch
- The ability to select by ambience (creek‑side) or access (central/village‑side with 16 A)
- Proximity to facilities (e.g., N11 beside the terrace and near the sanitary block)
Practical takeaways and booking tips
- Decide your power needs first. If you expect higher combined loads, look for 16 A options like N11 or village‑side Comfort+.
- Pick your setting. Love water views and a natural soundtrack? Go creek‑side. Want fast access for families? Choose a central location.
- Match your vehicle. Comfort pitches are not for campervans over 6 m. For Comfort+, confirm suitability in advance—many are fine up to about 6 m, but not all.
- Plan your utilities. Comfort+ guarantees a private tap and drain; Comfort offers water/drainage with a mix of private and shared setups depending on the pitch.
- Factor electricity into your budget. Both Comfort and Comfort+ add electricity at €2.00/night.
- Book early for specific pitch preferences. Creek‑side spots and N11 (beside the terrace and close to the sanitary block) are popular in summer.
