Where and when to charge during your stay
A smooth charging experience starts before you set off. For the most up-to-date information on electric car charging point access during your stay:
- Call reception: 0521 - 381440
- Email: info@adelhof.nl
- Address for your sat nav: Vledderweg 19, 8381 AB Vledder
Reception can confirm current charging options for your dates and explain any on-site access guidelines. As a best practice for destination charging, plan your top-ups when your car would otherwise be parked:
- Overnight, so you wake to a ready-to-go battery
- Midday downtime, when you’re relaxing at your accommodation or enjoying on-park facilities
Tip: Check your accommodation’s check-in and check-out windows to time your arrival and departure smartly. Check-in is possible from 15:00; check-out is before 10:00.
Quick answers (for fast search results)
- Can I charge my EV during a stay at Adelhof? Contact reception to confirm current charging options and access guidelines for your dates.
- What plug should I bring? In much of Europe, a Type 2 cable is standard for AC destination charging. Bring your own cable and any adapters your car requires.
- How long will it take? Destination charging is designed for longer, parked sessions. Plan on several hours (often overnight) rather than a quick splash-and-dash.
- Can I use regular campsite power to charge? Use only designated EV charging infrastructure. Do not plug an EV into standard campsite connections unless site policy explicitly allows it and proper equipment is provided.
How to use a destination electric car charging point safely
Charging at a holiday park is straightforward when you follow a few universal best practices:
- Park considerately
- Follow on-site signage and markings.
- Leave enough space for cables and pedestrians.
- Start the session the right way
- Connect your own Type 2 cable (if required).
- Follow any posted steps or instructions from reception.
- Monitor and move when finished
- Use your vehicle app or in-car display to track progress.
- Relocate your car when charging is complete so others can use the bay.
- Keep it tidy and safe
- Coil cables neatly.
- Never use extension cords or makeshift adapters.
- Avoid running cables where people might trip.
Make the most of your charging time at Adelhof
One of the advantages of destination charging is that you can enjoy the park while your car tops up. Adelhof offers a variety of facilities and surroundings that pair perfectly with a relaxed charging session:
- Fishing pond views and bungalow comfort
- Many accommodations are situated around the large fishing pond, and all bungalows come with an internet connection for a cozy, connected break.
- Options include the detached Grass Roof bungalow (max. 4 people) with a pleasant indoor climate and lots of privacy, and Type 6A (max. 6 people), with all rooms on the ground floor and an open fireplace.
- Family-friendly fun
- Kids can explore playgrounds set up in most camping fields or head to the indoor playground in poor weather.
- During busy periods, an entertainment team runs activities on-site.
- Practical facilities while you wait
- Freshen up with four toilet blocks offering showers, WCs, and washing facilities.
- Take care of laundry at the launderette next to reception (tokens available at reception).
- Pets welcome (in designated areas)
- Bringing your pet? They’re very welcome at the Land van Oost field, with a direct walk into an adjacent park.
- A dip next door at Bosbad, Vledder
- The open-air swimming pool next to the park features two pools, a paddling pool with a sandy beach, and a 10-metre family slide.

Practical EV packing list (and what to avoid)
Bring:
- Your own Type 2 cable (common for AC destination charging in Europe)
- Any vehicle-specific adapters
- Your vehicle’s charging app/RFID (if applicable)
- A microfiber cloth for clean, dry connectors
Avoid:
- Extension leads or household adapters
- Running cables across footpaths without protection
- Leaving the car in a charging bay after your session ends
Smart timing: when charging fits your holiday rhythm
- Overnight top-ups
- This is the simplest option: park, plug in, relax, and wake up good to go.
- Midday intermissions
- Ideal when you’re back for lunch or a swim at Bosbad, or taking a quiet break in your bungalow.
- Turnover days
- If you’re arriving around the 15:00 check-in window, factor in a short walk to reception to confirm access and get oriented before you plug in.
Camping and charging: important distinctions
Adelhof’s camping pitches are designed for a comfortable outdoor stay, not for vehicle charging. For example:
- Luxury pitches feature 16A electricity, sewerage, water tap, and internet at the site.
- Other fields offer 4/6A electricity with a water tap on the field and an internet hotspot.
- Pitches are about 100 m², separated by hedges for privacy, and set across pleasant, well-arranged fields.
Use only designated electric car charging points for EVs. Regular pitch connections serve camping equipment and amenities unless a specific EV charging policy states otherwise.

Frequently asked questions about electric car charging at holiday parks
Do I need to bring my own cable for an electric car charging point?
Yes. For AC destination charging in Europe, bringing your own Type 2 cable is standard. It ensures compatibility and a secure connection.
Is it okay to run an extension cord from my pitch or accommodation?
No. Use only designated electric car charging points and approved equipment. Extension cords or household adapters are unsafe for EV charging and are generally not permitted.
How can I avoid blocking a charging bay?
Check your vehicle app periodically and move your car promptly when the session ends. Think of a charging bay like a fuel pump: use, finish, and free it up.
What if I arrive late?
If you’re arriving close to or after check-in time (from 15:00), start by checking in at reception to confirm access and etiquette for the charging point, then plug in.
