Alpaca Moments: Getting to Know the Friendly Grazers Beside Your Pitch
If you’re dreaming of a stay where nature greets you right outside your tent, caravan, or campervan, Alpaca Moments at Camping De Reebok deliver exactly that. The friendly grazers live right beside the camping field, so you can often watch them from your pitch as part of everyday holiday life on the Veluwe. In this guide, you’ll learn where to see them, how to enjoy calm, respectful encounters, and how these animals add a unique touch to a family-friendly stay in Garderen.
Meet the alpacas next to the camping field
Where are the alpacas? They live directly beside the large, open grass field at Camping De Reebok, making them a charming presence throughout your stay. You can observe them during your day on site—no special excursion needed.
- The camping terrain is one large, flat, open grass field surrounded by planting, so it’s easy to look out and see what’s happening around you.
- Vehicles are parked in the dedicated area next to the campsite, keeping the field peaceful and child‑friendly while you enjoy the view.
- Browse the photo gallery on the home page to get a first glimpse of the alpacas and the surroundings before you arrive.
Why alpacas make your stay extra special
Alpacas are widely appreciated for their gentle, curious demeanor and relaxed grazing habits. Watching them from a calm, respectful distance can be soothing for adults and fascinating for children. Their presence turns everyday moments—morning coffee, a family lunch under the awning, or an evening game on the grass—into little highlights you’ll remember.
At Camping De Reebok, those moments blend seamlessly with practical comforts:
- Every pitch has new 10‑amp electricity, a water tap, and a wastewater drain.
- You’ll find good Wi‑Fi at every pitch; according to the 2026 tariff list, Wi‑Fi is included at no extra cost and may be used on up to three devices per booking.
- The awning area of each pitch features artificial grass, keeping things tidy and comfortable.
- Modern sanitary buildings make freshening up easy, and hot showers are included in the nightly rate.
Where to see them—and how to watch respectfully
You don’t need to go far to enjoy Alpaca Moments. Because the alpacas are beside the camping field, you can often see them from your pitch or as you stroll around the site. To keep encounters pleasant for everyone—people and animals alike—use these simple, widely recommended best practices:
- Keep a calm distance and let the animals approach the fence on their own terms.
- Speak softly and avoid sudden movements.
- Do not feed the alpacas unless the owners explicitly invite you to do so.
- If you’re with children, coach quiet observation and enjoy spotting their expressions, ears, and gentle hums.
- Around any livestock, keep pets under close control and be mindful of the animals’ space.

Please don’t feed them unless the owners say it’s okay. If your kids want a guaranteed feeding experience, the children’s farm at the entrance welcomes visitors to feed the animals there.
Family fun all around your pitch
Beyond alpaca watching, Camping De Reebok is designed for families:
- A single, wide grass field gives parents a clear view of children at play.
- Playgrounds dot the field, including a standout eight‑person swing and two trampolines (on hot days a sprinkler is sometimes placed underneath for extra fun).
- A fully maintained jeu de boules court—with benches—invites friendly competitions.
- At the entrance, the children’s farm houses fallow deer, sheep, goats, chickens, and peacocks, and visitors are welcome to feed them.
All of this sits in the heart of the Veluwe, renowned for forests and heathlands. The village of Garderen is just about 800 metres away, so shops and eateries are within easy reach by foot or bike.
