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:
- Locate the drain at your pitch (usually a drain point or hole near the connections).
- Connect your hose to your vehicle’s grey-water outlet. Ensure a snug fit to avoid drips.
- Route the hose to the drain with a gentle, continuous slope (no kinks or loops) so water flows freely.
- Open the outlet valve slowly, monitoring for leaks and keeping the hose seated securely in the drain.
- 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.
- 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.
