Pitch Names Explained: From “De Eekhoorn” to “X6” – Decoding Our Campsite Labels

Choosing the right spot can make or break your stay. If you’ve ever wondered what our Pitch Names actually mean—or how to compare options like N11 “De Eekhoorn” and camper‑van spots X1–X6—you’re in the right place. In this guide, you’ll learn how our labels help you quickly understand location context, pitch type, and what to check for size and amenities before you book.

The quick answer: what do our pitch names mean?

Our pitch labels combine a short code and, in some cases, a friendly name to make wayfinding and selection easy.

• The code identifies the pitch category/group and its unique number (e.g., X1–X6 designate camper‑van spots).
• A name like “De Eekhoorn” appears alongside the code for quick recognition and on‑site navigation.
• Size and amenities (e.g., surface type, power, water) are shown with each pitch listing—use those details to confirm fit and hookups.

Why Pitch Names matter when you book

• They help you filter options fast by pitch type and area grouping.
• They reduce guesswork: you can match your vehicle and setup to an appropriate spot.
• They streamline arrival: you’ll recognize your pitch on the map and signage.

Featured snippet answer: Pitch Names combine a category code and a unique number, sometimes with a friendly name (e.g., N11 “De Eekhoorn”). Use the code for selection and the listing for exact size and amenities.

The anatomy of a pitch label

1) The code: letters and numbers

• Letters group pitches by category or area. For example, X1–X6 are designated camper‑van spots.
• Numbers identify the specific pitch within that group (e.g., the 1st, 2nd, or 11th spot).

2) The name: personality and wayfinding

• Some pitches carry a name for easier recognition, like N11 “De Eekhoorn.”
• Names help with on‑site orientation and add character to your booking confirmation.

3) The details: size and amenities

• Actual dimensions, surface, and hookups are shown in each pitch’s description or icons.
• Rely on these details—not the code alone—when deciding if a pitch fits your tent, caravan, or camper‑van setup.

Quick reference

Location, size, and amenities—how to read them together

Choosing a pitch is about balancing three things: where it sits, how much space you have, and what’s connected at the pitch.

Location

• Use the pitch code to identify the group, then check the park map on the booking page to see approximate placement.
• Consider proximity to facilities like washrooms, playgrounds, or quieter edges of the park, depending on your preference.

Size

• Review the listed dimensions and maximum occupancy/vehicle guidance to ensure your tent, caravan, awning, or camper‑van fits comfortably.
• If you plan additional gear (e.g., a gazebo, bike rack, or trailer), confirm there’s clearance to set up safely.

Amenities and surface

• Look for icons and descriptors that note electricity, water access, wastewater points, or surface type (e.g., grass or hardstanding).
• Match amenities to your setup: camper‑vans often prefer hardstanding; families might prioritize nearby water access.

From “De Eekhoorn” to “X6”: putting labels into context

• N11 “De Eekhoorn”: This label combines a code and a friendly name. Use the booking map to see where N‑group pitches sit, then check the listing for dimensions and services.
• X1–X6 (camper‑van spots): These are designated for camper‑vans. Review each listing for access, surface, and hookups to match your vehicle and onboard systems.

The key idea: the code points you to the right category and exact pitch, while the listing confirms fit and comfort.

How to pick the perfect pitch in 7 steps

1. Define your setup
   • Tent, caravan, or camper‑van? Note length, width, and any awnings.
2. Decide your priorities
   • Quiet corner, near facilities, or scenic edge? Pick your trade‑offs early.
3. Check surface and access
   • Hardstanding vs. grass; drive‑through or back‑in, as indicated on the listing.
4. Confirm essential hookups
   • Power needs, water proximity, and any waste disposal options relevant to your unit.
5. Review size and spacing
   • Ensure safe spacing and room for accessories (awning, windbreak, storage box).
6. Consider daily rhythms
   • Proximity to play areas if traveling with children; quieter areas if you value early nights.
7. Match the code to the map
   • Use the pitch code to find the group on the park map and visualize your stay before you reserve.

Practical tips for tents, caravans, and camper‑vans

Tent campers

Caravans

• Confirm electric hookup details and any guidance for stabilizers on different surfaces.

Camper‑vans (e.g., X1–X6)

• Prioritize surface and levelness for easy parking and stable onboard systems.
• Verify power needs if you rely on shore power for refrigeration or climate control.

Booking confidence: what to double‑check before you confirm

• Pitch code and name (for clear arrival instructions).
• Dimensions and maximum unit length/width.
• Surface type and any seasonal notes.
• Hookups and nearby facilities relevant to your stay.
• Park map to visualize access and orientation.
