Farmhouse Reception Diaries: A Day in the Life of Welcoming Campers
Stepping into the farmhouse reception at Camping De Reebok sets the tone for your stay—warm, efficient, and unmistakably Veluwe. In this behind-the-scenes look, we’ll show how the farmhouse reception keeps arrivals smooth, answers enquiries in real time, and coordinates online requests through Direct reserveren. You’ll also learn what to expect from check-in to orientation, how we help families settle in on our open grass field, and where to find essential information before you arrive.
The Heart of Arrival: Why the Farmhouse Reception Matters
A welcoming reception does more than hand over details—it helps you start your holiday without friction. At Camping De Reebok, the reception is located in the farmhouse, right on the property. That central spot makes it easy to:
- Check in quickly after you park in the dedicated area next to the campsite.
- Get an overview of the one large, open grass field so you know exactly where to go.
- Ask practical questions about 10-amp electricity, water taps, and drains at every pitch.
- Discover on-site amenities like modern sanitary buildings, playgrounds, the jeu de boules court, and bicycle storage.
Families especially appreciate the layout: the single open field allows clear sightlines across the campsite, so it’s easy to keep an eye on children while setting up.

The Arrival Flow: From Entrance to Pitch
Arriving is straightforward and calm, even at peak times.
- Use the separate entrance road that runs alongside the children’s farm. This keeps farm traffic distinct and makes arrivals intuitive.
- Park in the dedicated parking area directly next to the campsite. Keeping the grass field car-free maintains a peaceful, open feel and preserves the grounds.
- Head to the farmhouse reception for a friendly welcome and a quick orientation.
Because the camping area is a single, flat, renovated grass field, getting to your spot is simple—ideal for tents, caravans, and campervans alike.
Orientation Made Easy: What We Highlight at Check-In
During orientation, the farmhouse reception team focuses on what helps you settle in quickly:
- Your pitch setup with 10-amp electricity, a water tap, and a wastewater drain.
- The nearest modern sanitary buildings and how to access them.
- Where children can safely explore the playground equipment and the open field.
- On-site leisure like the jeu de boules court and artificial grass areas.
- Practicalities such as secure bicycle storage after a day exploring the Veluwe.
We also point out our sustainable energy solutions, which support a comfortable and eco-minded stay.
Family-Friendly by Design
Parents often tell us that the single open grass field is a game-changer. You can relax at your pitch and still have clear visibility across the terrain. Coupled with play structures and the traffic-free field, family time becomes easier to manage—and more fun for everyone.
Next to the entrance sits a children’s farm, gently easing younger campers into the farm atmosphere from the moment they arrive.
The Farm Connection: Tours and Local Life
Camping De Reebok is part of a working calf farm, with three stables near the farmhouse. The owners are happy to offer guided tours and show guests around the stables. For many campers, this glimpse of local farm life becomes a highlight of the trip—bringing the Veluwe’s rural roots to life in a hands-on, memorable way.
Your Base in the Veluwe
Our location puts you in the middle of the Veluwe, a region known for forests, heathlands, and local wildlife. Nature is right outside your pitch, and the village of Garderen is just about 800 metres away—ideal for a short walk or bike ride to shops and restaurants.
