Eco-Friendly Camping Habits: 7 Simple Ways Guests Can Support De Reebok’s Sustainable Energy Goals
Camping with a light footprint is easier than you think—especially at Camping De Reebok, where sustainable energy systems are already part of the experience. By adopting a few Eco-Friendly Camping Habits, you can help amplify those efforts while enjoying the open grass field, modern facilities, and family-friendly atmosphere just 800 metres from the centre of Garderen.
In this guide, you’ll learn practical, low-effort actions that reduce your environmental impact without sacrificing comfort. You’ll also find quick answers about on-site facilities—like the 10-amp electricity at every pitch, individual water taps and drains, secure bicycle storage, and the maintained jeu de boules court—so you can plan a greener getaway on the Veluwe.
Why Your Eco-Friendly Camping Habits Matter at De Reebok
Camping De Reebok combines comfort with conscious design: a single, open grass field for easy oversight, modern sanitary buildings, and sustainable energy solutions that support smarter resource use. Your day-to-day choices—how you power devices, use water, and move around—can help those systems go even further.
- The site provides 10-amp power at every pitch, which naturally encourages mindful electricity use.
- Each pitch has its own water tap and wastewater drain, making it simple to avoid waste and keep the field tidy.
- The campsite’s location—just about 800 metres from Garderen—makes walking or cycling an easy, low-impact choice, supported by secure bicycle storage.
Taken together, these conveniences make sustainable behavior straightforward. The following seven tips show exactly how to put that into practice.
7 Simple Ways to Support De Reebok’s Sustainable Energy Goals
1) Be power-smart at your 10-amp pitch
Every pitch includes 10-amp electricity, which is perfect for essential camping needs when used thoughtfully.
- Unplug chargers and appliances when you’re not using them.
- Avoid running multiple high-draw devices at once.
- Choose low-power settings on lights and electronics.
These simple habits reduce total energy demand and keep your setup running efficiently within the 10-amp provision.
2) Practice water-wise routines at your tap and in the sanitary blocks
With individual water taps at each pitch and modern sanitary buildings on site, it’s easy to stay comfortable while conserving water.
- Take shorter, efficient showers.
- Turn taps off fully between uses; fill basins for washing rather than letting water run.
- Use your pitch’s wastewater drain properly to prevent spills on the grass.
- If you notice a drip or leak, let the reception at the farmhouse know promptly.
3) Walk or cycle to Garderen instead of driving
Since the campsite sits about 800 metres from Garderen, most errands, meals, or ice-cream runs are an easy stroll or bike ride away. Secure your bike in the on-site bicycle storage when you return.
- Plan your route into the village at quieter times to enjoy the scenery.
- Combine errands into one trip to minimize back-and-forth travel.
Reducing short car journeys cuts local emissions and keeps the campground atmosphere calmer.
4) Choose low-energy recreation on site
Lean into activities that require little or no electricity. De Reebok makes this effortless:
- Enjoy the open grass field and playground equipment with the kids.
- Challenge your neighbors on the maintained jeu de boules court.
These options keep consumption low while helping everyone unwind outdoors—exactly what camping on the Veluwe is all about.
5) Pack reusables and minimize single-use items
Smart packing prevents waste before it starts.
- Bring reusable bottles, mugs, cutlery, and containers.
- Refill from your pitch’s water tap rather than buying extra packaging.
- Sort and dispose of waste neatly, following any on-site guidance.
Less packaging means less handling, less mess, and a cleaner pitch for you and your neighbors.
6) Keep pitches tidy and protect the grass
A well-kept pitch is more sustainable and more pleasant.
- Use your wastewater drain—never empty greywater onto the ground.
- Keep gear within your allocated space to protect surrounding vegetation.
- Make the most of the campsite’s artificial grass areas where designated for durable, clean play and relaxation.
Thoughtful use of the terrain maintains the field’s quality for the next guests.
7) Respect the working farm next door
De Reebok sits beside a calf farm, and the owners are happy to offer guided tours. When you visit:
- Follow instructions from your guide and stay within designated areas.
- Close gates behind you and move calmly around animals.
- Supervise children closely and keep shared spaces clean.
Responsible farm visits protect animal welfare and preserve a unique experience for future guests.
