Behind the Panels: How Camping de Reebok Uses Sustainable Energy

Looking for a holiday that balances comfort with a lighter footprint? At Camping de Reebok in Garderen on the Veluwe, sustainable energy isn’t just a nice-to-have—it powers daily life. In this behind-the-panels tour, you’ll discover how the campsite runs on sustainable energy, what that means for your stay, and how you can make the most of an eco-friendly break without sacrificing convenience.

What sustainable energy looks like at Camping de Reebok

At Camping de Reebok, sustainable energy is built into the fabric of the farm and the campsite. The approach is simple, effective, and visible as soon as you look up.

264 solar panels on the barn roofs

• The site has 264 solar panels installed on the barn roofs.
• These panels make the company and the campsite fully self-sufficient in electricity use.
• In practice, this means everyday operations—from lighting to power at the pitches—are supplied by on-site generation.

Why it matters: Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity silently and cleanly. They reduce reliance on external energy sources and help stabilize operating costs over time, which supports consistent service for guests.

Heat without gas: a wood-fired pellet stove

• The campsite no longer uses gas on-site.
• All heat needed for operations is produced by a wood-fired pellet stove.

What that means for you: Pellet stoves burn compressed wood pellets to produce steady heat with high efficiency. As a modern alternative to fossil gas, this setup supports lower-carbon heating while providing reliable warmth for facilities.

Guest-ready power and water infrastructure

• The field has been renovated with a brand-new 10-amp electrical system.
• Modern power pedestals with a water tap and a drain are available at all pitches.

While these upgrades are about comfort and convenience, they complement the campsite’s sustainable energy backbone by delivering power where you need it—backed by the on-site solar array.

Practical tips for an even greener stay

Make the most of the sustainable energy already in place with a few simple habits:

1. Right-size your power use

   • Use the 10-amp connection thoughtfully. Most camping equipment works perfectly within this capacity; avoid running multiple heavy appliances at once.

2. Choose low-demand gear

   • LED lights, efficient coolers, and low-wattage kettles pair well with the campsite’s energy setup.

3. Explore by bike

   • The village of Garderen is about 800 meters from the campsite—ideal for a short, car-free trip. There’s a dedicated Bicycle storage on site.

4. Learn from the farm

   • Ask about a farm tour to see how the barns and day-to-day life fit into the landscape of the Veluwe. It’s a great way to connect what you see—like the solar panels—to the rhythms of the countryside.

5. Plan your pitch and activities

   • Use the Map to choose a spot that suits your setup, and check out Play facilities and Jeu de Boules for easy, low-impact fun.
