Power made easy: 10‑amp in plain English
A 10‑amp supply provides a practical level of power for common caravan setups when used thoughtfully. In practice, it supports typical essentials without overloading the system. Tip: run high‑draw appliances one at a time and use energy‑efficient lighting to make the most of your connection.
Clean and dry from day one: artificial grass under your awning
Every pitch features artificial grass under the awning (5 m × 4 m). Place your caravan or camper just behind it, and you’ll step onto a tidy, mud‑free area—ideal in early spring when ground conditions can vary. It’s an easy way to keep interiors cleaner and mornings simpler.
Family‑friendly by design
The field’s open layout and surrounding plantings create a naturally watchable space—one of the reasons families choose our campsite. With varied play facilities close by and an easy line of sight across the terrain, relaxing while the kids play becomes part of the daily rhythm.
- Highlights for kids:
- 8‑person swing for group fun
- Sandpit, climbing tower, and slide for active play
- Two trampolines; on warm days, we place a sprinkler underneath for extra splashy fun
