Grey Water 101: Easy, On-Pitch Disposal for Camper Vans & Caravans

If finding a dump station is the least favorite part of your road trip, good news: on our campsite you can handle grey water the easy way—right at your pitch with a simple hose. There’s no separate RV service station to queue for, and on dedicated camper pitches you’ll find a grey-water drain, a water tap, and 16A power on hand. Many of our camping pitches (Comfort and Comfort+) also include water and drainage in the price, so you can set up and settle in faster.

This guide explains what grey water is, how on-pitch grey water disposal works here, what to pack, and practical tips to keep your setup clean and hassle-free.

What is grey water—and why it matters

• Grey water is the used water from sinks and showers (not from toilets). It typically contains soap residue and small food particles.
• Proper disposal protects the environment and keeps your pitch clean and odor-free.
• Our layout makes correct disposal straightforward: you discharge grey water at your own pitch using a hose, with no need to drive to a separate station.

Featured answer: How does on-pitch grey water disposal work?

Connect your vehicle’s grey-water outlet to your pitch’s drain with a hose and open the valve slowly. Here, there’s no separate RV service station—you empty directly at your pitch.

How on-pitch grey water disposal works here

• Discharge at your pitch: You can empty grey water directly at your own place using a hose. There is no dedicated RV service station on the campsite.
• Camper van pitches (RV site): Each camper pitch is equipped with a 16A power connection, a water tap, and a grey-water drainage point. These pitches are centrally located and designed for easy entry and exit.
• Comfort & Comfort+ camping pitches: Water and drainage are included in the price on these categories. Comfort+ pitches come with an electricity connection (16A), tap, and drain; most are about 100 m², with two extra-large spots around 120 m². On some Comfort pitches, the drainage/water point may be shared—just ask our team if you’d like details for a specific spot.

At-a-glance: Where on-pitch grey water is available

• Camper van pitches (RV site): Yes — dedicated grey-water drain at each pitch
• Comfort camping pitch: Yes — drainage hole at/near the pitch (some shared)
• Comfort+ camping pitch: Yes — each pitch includes a tap and drain

Note: This article covers grey water only. Black water (toilet waste) is different; always follow local regulations and campground guidance for its disposal.

Step-by-step: Empty your grey water on-pitch

Follow this simple sequence for a clean, controlled discharge:

1. Locate the drain at your pitch (usually a drain point or hole near the connections).
2. Connect your hose to your vehicle’s grey-water outlet. Ensure a snug fit to avoid drips.
3. Route the hose to the drain with a gentle, continuous slope (no kinks or loops) so water flows freely.
4. Open the outlet valve slowly, monitoring for leaks and keeping the hose seated securely in the drain.
5. Flush and finish: When the tank is empty, run a brief rinse from the vehicle’s system if available, or swirl a small amount of clean water through the hose to minimize residue.
6. Disconnect and stow: Cap your outlet, coil the hose separately from drinking-water hoses, and wipe any drips so the area stays tidy for you and your neighbors.

Pro tip: Empty more often with smaller volumes. Short, regular discharges reduce odors and make hose handling lighter and cleaner.

What to pack: A simple grey water kit

Keep these essentials on board for smooth, no-spill connections:

• Waste-water hose (dedicated for grey water)
• Basic adapter set or nozzle to fit common outlets
• Hose clip or band to secure connections if needed
• Rubber elbow or angle piece (helps when the drain is at ground level)
• Nitrile/utility gloves and a small microfiber cloth
• Small rinse bottle or collapsible bucket for a quick clean at the end
• Strainer for your sink (catches food scraps before they enter the tank)

Store this kit separately from fresh-water equipment to keep everything hygienic.

Tips for a clean, odor-free setup

• Use biodegradable soaps to keep residues mild and tanks fresher.
• Catch solids at the source: a simple sink strainer prevents clogs and odors downstream.
• Keep hoses dedicated: one for drinking water, one for grey water—label them.
• Rinse after each empty so residue doesn’t build up inside the hose.
• Maintain a steady slope in the hose run; avoid low spots where water can sit.
• Check seals and caps regularly to prevent drips in transit.

Choosing the right pitch for your vehicle

• RV site (camper van pitches): Centrally located pitches designed for easy entry/exit. Each pitch includes 16A power, a water tap, and a grey-water drain. Ideal if you want everything at hand and minimal setup time.
• Comfort+ camping pitch (100–130 m²): Includes electricity (16A), tap, and drain. Suitable for camper vans up to about 6 meters due to weight limits and softer ground. Caravans can be larger without issue on these pitches.
• Comfort camping pitch (80–100 m²): More compact, well-suited to tents and smaller caravans. A drainage hole is provided; on some spots water/drainage may be shared.

If you’re unsure which pitch best fits your vehicle length and weight, our team is happy to help you select the right spot before you arrive.

Practical takeaways

• Pack a dedicated grey-water hose and a small adapter set to ensure tight, drip-free connections.

• Keep it clean: Strainers, biodegradable soaps, and a quick rinse after each empty go a long way.
