Pre-Arrival Checklist: Packing Smart for Your 10-Amp, Water-Equipped Pitch at Camping De Reebok
Arrive confident and ready to unwind. Every pitch at Camping De Reebok includes a 10-amp power outlet, its own water tap, and a wastewater drain, so you can set up quickly and enjoy your time on the Veluwe. This guide shows you exactly what to pack for a 10-amp, water-equipped pitch, how to use these on-site utilities efficiently, and which extras make family camping on our open grass field even easier.
Why this matters for your stay
Having power, fresh water, and a drain at your pitch removes common camping hassles. With the right kit, you can plug in safely, connect a hose in minutes, and route grey water neatly—keeping your set-up tidy and the grass field pleasant for everyone. You’ll also find practical tips for arrival at our family-oriented campsite near the centre of Garderen on the Veluwe.
Power essentials for a 10-amp pitch
All pitches at Camping De Reebok offer 10-amp electricity via modern power pillars. A 10-amp supply is ideal for lighting, charging devices, and many everyday appliances, provided you manage usage sensibly.
What to pack for power
- Suitable hook-up cable for campsite power pillars (bring adequate length for your set-up)
- Indoor power strip for distributing power inside your unit (with integrated switch)
- Low-draw appliance choices (e.g., compact kettle or fan) to keep total load modest
- Cable protection (e.g., mat or tidy routing) to avoid trip hazards
Smart usage tips
- Stagger high-draw devices. Avoid running multiple heat-producing appliances at once (such as kettles and hairdryers).
- Use only outdoor-rated gear for the external connection and keep connections off wet ground.
- Uncoil long cables fully to prevent heat build-up.
- Switch off before unplugging appliances to protect equipment.
These simple habits make the most of a 10-amp supply and align with energy-conscious camping.
Water on tap and wastewater drain: quick, clean, convenient
Each pitch has its own water tap and wastewater drain. With a few low-effort items you can create a clean, reliable connection in minutes.
Connecting to your water tap
- Food-grade hose (choose a length that comfortably reaches from tap to your unit)
- Universal hose connectors/adapters to match your fittings
- Shut-off or inline valve (optional) for quick stop/start at your unit
- Microfibre cloth and sanitiser to wipe tap and hose ends before use
Practical steps:
- Wipe the tap and the first 10–15 cm of your hose.
- Push or screw on your connector firmly; avoid cross-threading.
- Open the tap slowly to check for leaks and adjust your flow.
Managing grey water to the drain
- Grey-water hose or pipe sized for your outlet to reach the on-pitch drain
- Angle or elbow adapter (optional) to keep flow smooth
- Collapsible bucket as a backup when disconnecting or cleaning
- Gloves for hygienic handling
Keep the hose run as straight as possible and secure it so it won’t be dislodged. Close taps when you’re away from the pitch.
Make the most of an open, family-friendly grass field
Camping De Reebok features one large, open grass field with clear sightlines—ideal for families who want to keep an eye on children. Around the terrain you’ll also find play facilities, a jeu de boules court, and artificial grass areas.
Helpful extras to pack
- Groundsheet or picnic rug for flexible seating on grass
- Sun and wind comfort: lightweight windbreak, hats, sunscreen
- Outdoor games: balls, frisbee, and a jeu de boules set to enjoy the on-site court
- Compact daypack for quick trips to the modern sanitary facilities
- Night lighting: small lanterns or headlamps for safe evening movement
Pro tip: A folding trolley can make shuttling items simple, especially since cars are parked on the dedicated area next to the campsite rather than on the field itself.
