Ascension Day and Pentecost fall close together each spring, creating prime long-stay opportunities for families and friends. Demand is high, so understanding how De Reebok handles these periods will help you book with confidence and arrive prepared.

How Ascension and Pentecost bookings work at De Reebok

The combined-stay rule (must-know)

• Ascension/Pentecost is only bookable as one combined period. In practice, that means your reservation spans both holidays in a single booking rather than separate short stays.
• This approach helps ensure fair availability and a relaxed, uninterrupted holiday rhythm across the field.

Peak-period surcharge

• During the Ascension/Pentecost period, there is an extra surcharge of €4.00 per pitch.
• This is applied on top of the standard nightly rate outlined in the 2026 tariffs.

What your standard nightly rate includes

De Reebok’s published 2026 rates clearly indicate what’s covered per overnight stay:

• 10 ampere electricity included
• Showers included
• Tourist tax included (€1.35)
• Free Wi‑Fi (max 3 devices)

These inclusions are designed to simplify budgeting for peak holidays—especially helpful when planning a longer combined stay.

What to expect on site during peak holidays

Spacious, convenience-rich pitches

• All pitches have new 10 ampere power pillars with a water tap and a drain at each place.
• Every pitch features artificial grass under the awning (approx. 5 m wide × 4 m deep) to help keep things clean—no more sand or mud in your living space.
• You’ll find good Wi‑Fi by every caravan, making it easier to stay connected.

Modern, family-friendly facilities

• A large sanitary building with separate ladies’ and men’s sections, multiple toilets and showers.
• Two wash cabins, an accessible toilet, and two enlarged showers (for guests with limited mobility or for helping children), plus a urinal.
• Baby facilities are available in both sections.
• Underfloor heating throughout the sanitary building for added comfort.
• Between the sanitary buildings: an information space with cycling and walking routes and other local info, and a utility space with a washing machine, dryer, fridge with freezer, and a spinner.
• At the front: a covered dishwashing area with six wash-up stations.

Play and leisure for all ages

• The camping field is one large, open grass area—great visibility for parents and relaxed play for kids.
• On-site play features include an 8-person swing, two trampolines (with a sprinkler underneath in warm weather), a sandpit, and a climbing tower with slide.
• Enjoy a dedicated Jeu de Boules court with benches for casual tournaments.

Sustainable by design

• De Reebok operates with 264 solar panels on the barn roofs, making the company and camping fully self-sufficient in electricity.
• No gas is used; required heat is generated by a wood-fired pellet stove—a meaningful step toward a more environmentally friendly stay.

Easy arrival and orientation

• The campsite has a separate entrance along the children’s farm.
• Parking for all cars is directly next to the camping field.
• The reception for the campsite is located at the residential house.
• Camping De Reebok opens on 1 April each year, so spring holiday planning can start early.

Practical planning tips for a smooth combined stay

1. Book early and coordinate dates

   • Because Ascension and Pentecost are combined at De Reebok, align your group’s calendars early. Once you know the length of your combined stay, securing a pitch becomes straightforward.

2. Choose comfort-forward pitches

   • With power, water, and drainage at every place and artificial grass under the awning, setup is fast and comfortable—ideal for longer holiday periods.

3. Pack for family-friendly fun

   • Bring outdoor games for the open field and plan time for the on-site play area and Jeu de Boules. The layout makes it easy to keep an eye on children.

4. Leverage on-site amenities

   • Underfloor-heated sanitary spaces, baby facilities, and laundry utilities (washing machine, dryer, fridge with freezer, spinner) keep routines smooth across a multi-day stay.

5. Understand pricing and policies

   • Factor in the €4.00 per pitch surcharge during the Ascension/Pentecost period alongside your nightly rate and any add-ons (e.g., extra adult, children, dog).
   • Review the cancellation policy for peak periods (details below) and consider travel/cancellation insurance.

6. Explore the Veluwe with confidence

   • The surrounding landscape mixes meadows and forests with countless paths for walking and cycling—perfect for making the most of extended spring days.

Availability and smart alternatives if peak dates are full

• If your ideal combined period is unavailable, consider the broader spring window around the holidays.
• For value-focused trips later in the season, look at the published shoulder-season deals:
  • September: 10% discount
  • October: 15% discount
  • Entire month of October: €300 plus €35 tourist tax (based on 2 persons)

These offers provide excellent alternatives when you’re flexible on dates.
