Key features:
- Pet-friendly field

Luxury pitches vs. standard fields: What’s the difference?
If you’re comparing your chosen field with Adelhof’s luxury pitches, here’s the clear distinction.
Standard pitches include:
- Electricity connection
- Bush-bordered privacy
Luxury pitches add:
- 16-amp electricity
- Private water tap
- Grey-water drainage
- On-pitch internet
- Open layout without physical dividers between spots
Tip: If reliable on-pitch connectivity matters, consider a luxury pitch. If natural screening and a classic camping feel are priorities, a standard pitch or the pet-friendly Land van Oost field fits well.
Who should choose which Adelhof camping area?
Choose the Standard fields if you want:

- Pet-free options and a privacy-first layout
Choose Land van Oost if you:

Beyond the fields: Facilities that shape your stay
While your pitch is your base, Adelhof’s on-site and nearby amenities can define your days.
- Fishing pond: Guests may fish freely in the large on-site pond (no permit required). Several Type 6A units and all Type 6B bungalows are situated around the pond, and the Trekkershut Visstek stands right on the waterfront.
