What Makes De Reebok’s Level Grass Field Different
De Reebok in Garderen is designed to make setup effortless and your stay comfortable:
- One large, flat, open grass field — recently renovated for a smooth, even surface that’s easy to access and simple to level on.
- Every pitch with on-pitch utilities — a new 10‑amp electricity outlet, your own water tap, and a wastewater drain at each pitch.
- Artificial‑grass awning area on every pitch — a clean, durable base for your awning or front‑tent area that stays tidy in wet weather.
- Good Wi‑Fi coverage at every pitch — Wi‑Fi is included free of charge (up to three devices per booking).
- Modern sanitary blocks — showers are included, no tokens or coins needed.
- Car‑free camping field — all cars park in the dedicated area directly next to the campsite, keeping the field safe and quiet.
- Easy oversight for families — a single open field surrounded by planting, with playground equipment around the perimeter for great visibility.
- Covered bicycle storage with e‑bike charging — secure, weather‑protected parking plus power outlets for e‑bikes.
- Sustainable energy — 264 solar panels supply electricity and a wood‑pellet heating system provides heat; the site no longer relies on gas.
- Close to Garderen — about 800 metres from the village centre for shops and restaurants.

Step‑by‑Step: Positioning on Your Pitch
1) Arrival and orientation
- Check in at the farmhouse reception. The reception is located in the farmhouse on the property.
- Review the Camping Plattegrond. It’s a quick way to understand the square layout of the field and the positioning of utilities.
- Unload, then park. Unload your gear at your pitch and move your car to the dedicated parking area directly next to the campsite. The camping field itself is car‑free.
2) Use the artificial‑grass awning area
All pitches include an artificial‑grass surface in the awning/front‑tent area. Align your living space here:
- For caravans and campervans, position so the awning track lines up with the artificial‑grass pad.
- For tents, place the sleeping area on grass and the living/cooking area on the artificial‑grass pad to keep entryways clean and mud‑free.
Benefits include better footing, less dirt tracked inside, and a tidy base in wet weather.
3) Leveling on a flat field
The field is level and easy to access, so leveling is minimal:
- Carry basic leveling aids (wheel chocks or pads) for caravans and campervans.
- Rotate slightly to optimize your door orientation toward the artificial‑grass area and views across the open field.
- Keep enough clearance from the water tap and drain for easy connections.
4) Hook up to 10‑amp electricity safely
Every pitch has a new 10‑amp power outlet:
- Use a standard camping electric hook‑up lead (CEE) with your unit’s RCD/consumer unit as recommended by your manufacturer.
- Keep the connector and any cable joints off the ground and protected from moisture.
- A 10‑amp supply comfortably supports everyday camping use; avoid running multiple high‑wattage appliances at the same time.
5) Connect water and route wastewater
Each pitch provides your own water tap and a wastewater drain:
- Attach a clean, food‑grade hose to the tap for filling containers or, if your unit supports it, for direct water feed.
- Route greywater to your on-pitch drain. Use appropriate hoses/containers and keep the area neat and unobstructed.
- Turn taps off firmly when not in use to prevent drips.
6) Get online with on‑pitch Wi‑Fi
- Wi‑Fi coverage is available at every pitch and included free (use on up to three devices per booking).
- Connect using the network details provided by reception.
- For the strongest connection inside metal‑shelled units, place devices near windows or doors.
Unit‑Specific Guidance
Tents: quick, clean, and comfortable
- Pitch selection: Use the level grass for sleeping areas and artificial‑grass for your living/front‑tent zone.
- Pegging and guylines: Angle pegs away from the tent and keep guylines visible and tidy to respect the open, shared edges of the field.
- Water & drain: Keep a collapsible tub by the artificial‑grass area for quick dish‑washing; carry greywater to your on‑pitch drain.
- Power: Connect your camping power unit to the 10‑amp outlet and keep cables routed along pitch edges.
- Storage & bikes: Use the covered bicycle storage for bikes (and charge e‑bikes there).
Caravans: align the awning, streamline your flow
- Positioning: Align the caravan so your awning opens onto the artificial‑grass pad. You’ll enjoy a clean, level base for seating and cooking.
- Stability: Lower corner steadies on pads; use minimal leveling thanks to the flat field.
- Utilities: Connect the 10‑amp electric first, then water. Direct wastewater to your own drain.
- Vehicle: After unloading, move your car to the parking area next to the campsite to preserve the car‑free field.
- Family flow: With an open view across the single field, you can easily keep an eye on children at the nearby play structures.
Campervans/Motorhomes: fast setup, smart orientation
- Approach and stop: Roll in slowly and stop with your side door facing the artificial‑grass area for a clean transition into your living space.
- Leveling: Use small chocks if needed; the renovated, level field keeps adjustments minimal.
- Hook‑ups: Connect to the 10‑amp outlet, top up water as needed, and route greywater neatly to your drain.
- Wi‑Fi: If your van has insulation or metallic skin, keep a device near the door/window for the best reception.

Family‑Friendly Layout and Smart Safety Tips

- Play zones around the field: Playground structures (including trampolines and an eight‑person swing) sit around the edges—great for fun and easy supervision.
- Clear paths: Keep guylines tidy and gear close to your pitch so the open field stays safe for kids at play and for a friendly game on the jeu de boules court (benches are provided for comfort).
Sustainable Comfort: What Powers Your Pitch
You’ll be camping with a lighter footprint:
