Pet etiquette at Adelhof: simple habits for a relaxed stay
Good etiquette keeps your holiday—and your neighbors’—peaceful and fun. These simple, widely accepted practices make all the difference.
Be considerate of neighbors
- Give fellow campers space when arriving, setting up, and moving around shared paths.
- Keep your dog from approaching other pitches uninvited.
Keep leads handy and control confident
- Use a lead where needed, especially around shared facilities and along paths.
- Maintain reliable recall and supervise your dog at all times.
Clean up promptly and dispose responsibly
- Always pick up after your dog.
- Carry bags so you’re ready on walks, by paths, and near your pitch.
Share space thoughtfully around the fishing pond
Adelhof features a large on-site fishing pond where guests can fish freely. Be courteous by:
- Giving anglers a wide berth.
- Avoiding tangles with rods, lines, and tackle.
- Keeping dogs calmly by your side as you pass.
Plan for comfort on your pitch
- Create a rest spot (mat or crate) so your dog settles easily.
- Keep fresh water available—especially on warm days.
- Use the electricity connection on Land van Oost for essentials like cooling fans, a night light, or charging pet GPS trackers.
