Three Electricity Rates, One Campsite: Choosing €1.50, €2.00 or €3.00 Power Hook-Ups

If you are comparing pitches and wondering why one electricity option costs €1.50, another €2.00, and another €3.00 per night, you are not alone. At Camping Drei Spatzen, the right choice depends less on the socket itself and more on how you travel, what kind of pitch you want, and how much on-site convenience you need.

This guide to Three Electricity Rates, One Campsite: Choosing €1.50, €2.00 or €3.00 Power Hook-Ups explains which rate belongs to which pitch, when each option makes the most sense, and how to match your stay to your budget. You will also see how the campsite’s accommodation types differ, what is included in the base price, and how to choose the most practical setup for your trip.

What are the three electricity rates at Camping Drei Spatzen?

The campsite offers three electricity price points, each linked to a specific pitch category:

In all of these pitch categories, the base overnight rate already includes:

That means the electricity charge is an add-on, not a hidden inclusion. This makes it easier to estimate your total nightly cost before you book.

Quick answer: which electricity rate should you choose?

If you want the shortest possible answer, here it is:

The best option is not just the cheapest one. It is the one that fits the way you camp.

Understanding the pitch types behind the electricity rates

Trekking pitches: €1.50 per night for electricity

The Trekking pitches are designed especially for hikers and cyclists. They are also suitable for campers arriving on foot, by bicycle, moped, or motorcycle, and they are intended for small one- to two-person tents.

Pricing for the Trekking pitch is:

These pitches make sense if you want to keep your stay simple and cost-conscious. If your power needs are limited to basic charging or light evening use, this is the most budget-friendly electricity option on the campsite.

There is also a practical extra benefit for this category: free lockers are available for charging cell phones, tablets, navigation systems, and similar devices safely. Electricity can still be booked in addition, but that detail may help some guests decide whether they need a paid hook-up every night.

Comfort+ pitches: €2.00 per night for electricity

The Comfort+ camping pitch is a larger pitch type, listed as 100–130 m². It is suited to guests who want more room and a more settled camping setup.

Pricing for the Comfort+ pitch is:

A maximum of 2 people are included in the pitch price. Additional charges apply for extra guests:

If you prefer more space and a traditional camping rhythm with extra comfort, this is the middle-ground electricity rate. It costs more than the trekking option, but it belongs to a more spacious pitch category.

Comfort+ car-free tent pitch: from €28.00 (2 persons)

Camping Drei Spatzen also offers a Comfort+ car-free tent pitch, with a headline price of:

For guests exploring tent options, this can be a useful related category to compare alongside the standard Comfort+ and Nature pitches.

Nature pitches: €2.00 per night for electricity

The Nature tent pitch is also 100–130 m² and car-free. It is positioned for guests who want generous space with a camping experience that stays close to the feel of tent-based outdoor living.

Pricing for the Nature pitch is:

As with the Comfort+ pitch, the price includes a maximum of 2 people, with the same extra charges for additional guests, children, and pets.

If you want a car-free pitch and plenty of room, the Nature pitch gives you that while keeping the electricity rate at the same €2.00 level as Comfort+.

RV sites: €3.00 per night for electricity

The RV site is the dedicated choice for motorhomes up to 7.5 metres.

Pricing for the RV site is:

Like the other pitch types, the RV site includes:

If you travel by motorhome, this is the relevant electricity option. It is the highest of the three rates, but it is tied to a pitch type designed specifically for RV use.

Why do the electricity rates differ?

In practical camping terms, electricity pricing often reflects the type of accommodation infrastructure and the kind of guest setup the pitch is built to support. A lightweight trekking stay and a motorhome stay usually do not place the same demands on a campsite.

At Camping Drei Spatzen, the pattern is clear:

  1. Trekking pitches offer the lowest-cost electricity add-on.
  2. Comfort+ and Nature pitches sit in the middle.
  3. RV sites have the highest electricity rate.

For guests, the most useful takeaway is simple: compare the whole pitch category, not electricity in isolation. A lower electricity rate does not automatically mean a better fit for your trip.

Side-by-side comparison table

Pitch type Base rate High-season rate Electricity Best for
Trekking pitch €15.50 per night €18.00 per night €1.50 per night Hikers, cyclists, small tents, short stays
Comfort+ pitch €30.00 per night €33.50 per night €2.00 per night Guests wanting more space and a fuller camping setup
Nature pitch €30.00 per night €33.50 per night €2.00 per night Guests wanting a car-free pitch with 100–130 m²
RV site €20.00 per night €26.00 per night €3.00 per night Motorhomes up to 7.5 metres

How to choose the right power hook-up for your stay

Choose €1.50 if you travel light

The €1.50 electricity option is the strongest fit for guests on a Trekking pitch who want to keep costs down and travel simply. It suits short stays, compact equipment, and smaller tents.

This option is especially relevant if you arrive by:

If your main concern is an affordable overnight stop with essential facilities included, this is the clearest choice.

Choose €2.00 if pitch comfort matters more

The €2.00 electricity option works best when your priority is not the lowest headline price, but more camping space and a more established setup.

Choose this if you want:

If you are deciding between Comfort+ and Nature, the electricity cost does not separate them. In that case, focus on the pitch style you prefer.

Choose €3.00 if you are arriving by motorhome

The €3.00 electricity option is the right one if you are booking a dedicated RV site. If you travel with a motorhome up to 7.5 metres, this is the relevant category to compare.

Rather than asking whether the power add-on is higher, the better question is whether the RV site is the right pitch for your vehicle and travel style. For motorhome guests, that answer is usually yes.

Budgeting tips before you book

When comparing rates, calculate the full nightly total, not just the base pitch price. A smart booking decision looks at all likely extras together.

Include these add-ons in your estimate

Think about your actual power needs

Ask yourself:

  1. Do you need a paid electricity hook-up every night?
  2. Are you staying briefly or settling in for a longer camping holiday?
  3. Are you travelling with a small tent, a family camping setup, or a motorhome?
  4. Would a trekking setup meet your needs, or do you want the extra space of Comfort+ or Nature?

For many guests, the right answer comes from matching the pitch to the trip first, then adding electricity if it improves comfort and convenience.

Camping Drei Spatzen offers several accommodation types beyond the pitch categories above. Guests can also look into:

If you are still comparing options, it can help to review the differences between Trekking pitches, Comfort+ pitches, Nature pitches, and RV sites first, then narrow down your preferred stay style.

Practical takeaways

Here is the simplest way to approach Three Electricity Rates, One Campsite: Choosing €1.50, €2.00 or €3.00 Power Hook-Ups:

And remember:

Conclusion: choose the pitch first, then the power rate

The easiest way to decide between €1.50, €2.00, or €3.00 power hook-ups is to start with the pitch type that fits your travel style. If you are touring lightly, the Trekking pitch keeps both the base rate and electricity cost low. If you want more room, Comfort+ and Nature pitches sit in the middle. If you arrive by motorhome, the RV site is the natural match.

That is what makes the pricing structure easy to use: each electricity rate is tied to a clear type of camping experience.
