What Reopens on 1 April at Camping de Reebok
Camping de Reebok is set on a spacious, open grass field in Garderen—right in the heart of the Veluwe. The layout gives everyone a clear view across the field, which makes it easy to keep an eye on children while soaking up the surroundings. The terrain is accessible and suits a range of camping setups.
Recent upgrades mean settling in is simpler than ever:
- 10A electricity available at the pitches.
- Modern power pedestals with a tap and drain at every pitch, so water and wastewater are right where you need them.
- Modern sanitary facilities on the campsite.
- Play facilities on the field, plus Jeu de Boules.
- Bike storage (Fietsenstalling) and artificial grass areas (Kunstgras) featured on-site.
You’ll find a separate entrance along the petting zoo and a parking area for all cars directly next to the campsite, keeping the field open and peaceful. The reception is at the farmhouse, where you’ll check in and get your bearings. Garderen village is just about 800 meters away, making quick trips for essentials or a stroll into town easy.

Pro tip: Keep your power cable and a short water hose easily accessible so you can connect utilities right after check-in without unpacking everything first.
Power, Water, and Drainage: Make the Most of Your Pitch
The combination of 10A electricity and a tap plus drain at every pitch makes setup efficient and day-to-day living easy.
What to Pack for Utilities

- A short-to-medium water hose for the tap at your pitch.
- A wastewater hose or suitable container to make use of the on-pitch drain.
- Basic leak-stoppers and hose connectors for quick fixes.
Smart Power Use on 10A
- Avoid running multiple high-draw appliances at once (for example, a kettle and a heater simultaneously).
- Prefer LED lighting and efficient devices where possible.
- If you use electric cooking or heating, plan usage so heavy loads don’t overlap.
These simple habits help you stay comfortably within a typical 10A supply and keep everything running smoothly.
