Power Price Points: Why Nature Pitches Cost €2 While Trekkers Pay €1.50
If you are comparing pitch types and trying to understand every line on your camping bill, Power Price Points matter. At Camping Drei Spatzen, electricity costs €2 per night on the Nature tent pitch and €1.50 per night on the Trekkers’ campsite/Hike and Bike pitch. That small difference can help you choose the pitch that best fits your travel style, equipment, and expectations.
This guide explains the difference clearly. You will see what each pitch is designed for, what is included in the base price, how electricity fits into the overall offer, and how to decide which option makes the most sense for your stay.
Quick answer: why is one electricity price higher?
The short answer is simple: these are two different camping products.
- Nature tent pitch (100-130 m2), car-free: electricity is €2 per night
- Trekkers’ campsite/Hike and Bike: electricity is €1.50 per night
The Nature pitch is a larger, separate type of stay designed as a place in the middle of nature, with no cars, no caravans and a quieter, more primitive camping experience under the stars. The Trekkers’ pitch is created especially for campers on foot, by bicycle, moped or motorcycle, with space for small one to two person tents and the vehicle close to the tent.
Because the two accommodations serve different needs, it is normal for optional services such as electricity to be priced differently.
What is the Trekkers’ campsite/Hike and Bike pitch?
The Trekkers’ campsite/Hike and Bike option is tailored to short, practical stays for guests who are traveling light.
Who it is for
This pitch is intended especially for campers arriving:
- on foot

The site is described as suitable for small one to two person tents. There is also room to keep the vehicle close to the tent.
What is included in the base price
For the Trekkers’ pitch, the following are included in the price:

That makes it a practical choice for travelers who want a simple overnight stop without giving up key conveniences.

A useful detail for light travelers

Breakfast is also available by reservation, which can be convenient for hikers and cyclists planning an early start.
What is the Nature tent pitch?
The Nature tent pitch (100-130 m2), car-free is a different experience altogether. It is positioned for campers who want more peace and a stronger connection to the natural setting.

- 100-130 m2
- car-free
- a place in the middle of nature

- ideal for people seeking peace and a more primitive style of camping
This framing matters when looking at the electricity charge. The Nature pitch is not presented as a quick overnight stop, but as a more spacious and experience-led camping option.

- Water
- Wastewater disposal / drainage

Why the electricity price differs
When guests ask why one pitch has €2 power and the other has €1.50 power, the best answer is not to treat electricity as an isolated fee. It sits inside two clearly distinct accommodation concepts.
1. The pitches are built for different kinds of stays
The Trekkers’ campsite/Hike and Bike pitch is designed for mobile travelers with compact gear, often staying for one or a few nights. It is optimized for small tents and practical stopovers.
The Nature tent pitch is larger, car-free, and more focused on peace, space, and a nature-first camping experience. It is a different category of stay rather than a variation of the same product.
2. Electricity is optional in both cases
In both offers, electricity is not included in the base rate. It is an optional add-on.
That means guests can choose based on real need:
- If you only need to charge a phone or navigation device, the Trekkers’ option may already cover that through the free charging lockers.
- If you want a separate power connection for your own camping setup, you can add electricity to the pitch.
3. The Trekkers’ offer supports low-complexity travel
The Trekkers’ pitch is presented as a special option for people arriving without a full camping rig. That context helps explain why the electricity line is lower. This offer is structured around simple, flexible, low-barrier overnight stays.
4. The Nature pitch is a larger, more distinct accommodation type
The Nature pitch combines 100-130 m2, a car-free setup, and a more secluded camping character. Even though it is more primitive in spirit, it is also a clearly separate pitch category with its own pricing logic, including its own electricity rate.
Which pitch should you choose?
If you are deciding between the two, focus less on the 50-cent difference and more on how you travel.
Choose the Trekkers’ campsite/Hike and Bike if you:
- travel on foot, by bicycle, moped, or motorcycle
- use a small one to two person tent
- want a practical overnight stop
- may only need to charge small electronics
- appreciate the option to book breakfast in advance
Choose the Nature tent pitch if you:
- want a car-free camping experience
- prefer a place in the middle of nature
- value more space with 100-130 m2
- are looking for peace and a more stripped-back style of camping
- want to add electricity as part of a larger nature-based pitch setup

Ask yourself these questions
Do I need a full electricity connection, or only device charging?
If you are staying on the Trekkers’ pitch and only need to charge a phone, tablet, or navigation device, the free charging lockers may be enough.Am I traveling light or setting up a fuller camp?
Light travelers often prioritize location, simplicity, and a quick setup. Guests choosing a Nature pitch may be planning a different style of stay.How important are space and seclusion?
The Nature pitch is about more than electricity. Its size and car-free setting are core parts of the experience.Am I comparing total fit, not just total price?
A cheaper electricity line does not automatically make one pitch the better choice. The right pitch is the one that matches how you camp.
Related topics worth exploring before you book
If you are comparing accommodation options, it also helps to look at the broader camping offer. Comfort pitch information can be useful if you want a pitch equipped with connections such as electricity, Wi-Fi, water and drainage. For guests focused on scenery and outdoor time, the campsite also highlights the surrounding forest, green hills, rocky cliffs and small villages, plus opportunities for walking, (electric) cycling, and mountain biking directly from the campsite.
That broader context can make your decision easier. Some guests want a simple Hike and Bike overnight stop. Others want a quieter nature-based pitch that becomes the center of their holiday.
