Pitch options and how to choose for a long stay
Adelhof offers different pitch styles. For season-length living, many guests consider which conveniences they’ll appreciate week after week.
Standard vs. Luxury pitch features
Below is a clear, factual comparison to guide your decision during booking:
| Pitch Type | Core Features |
|---|---|
| Standard (spacious) | Roomy spots surrounded by bushes for privacy; electricity connection on every pitch. |
| Luxury | 16-amp electricity, private water tap, grey-water drainage, on-pitch internet, and no physical dividers between spots. |
- For travelers who value a secluded feel, standard pitches feature greenery for natural privacy.
- For those prioritizing on-pitch utilities during longer stays, luxury pitches add water, drainage, and internet convenience.
Note: Seasonal availability and specific placement vary; select the pitch type that matches your preferred setup when you book.
Pets: choose the field that suits your family
Adelhof makes it simple to align your pitch with your pet preferences:
- Pet-friendly field: The "Land van Oost" field offers roomy pitches with electricity, bordered by shrubbery for privacy.
- Pet-free fields: Dedicated pet-free options are available if you prefer a quieter, no-pets environment.
Selecting your preferred field at booking ensures your season runs exactly the way you want it to.
On-park activities: plan your season around key dates
One advantage of a seasonal pitch at Adelhof is weaving park programming into your longer stay:
- Ascension (Hemelvaart): Seasonal animation on site.
- Pentecost (Pinksteren): Special animation activities.
- Summer holiday: The animation team is active for six consecutive weeks, creating a reliable rhythm of family-friendly fun.
Tip: Mark these periods on your calendar early to invite friends or family for shared weekends—they can book a camping pitch, the Trekkershut by the pond, or one of the bungalows.
