Pick Your Perfect Pitch: The €20 Reservation Advantage

Dreaming of arriving to the exact pitch you had in mind—close to your favorite facilities and set up just the way you like it? With the €20 reservation advantage at Camping Geversduin, you can secure a specific pitch or rental unit number in advance and remove the guesswork from your getaway.

In this guide, you’ll learn how the €20 preference option works, when to use it, and practical tips for choosing the perfect spot on the campsite map. You’ll also find quick facts—like check-in times, electricity, and unit-size limits—to help you book with confidence.

What is the €20 reservation advantage?

The €20 reservation advantage is a simple, optional add-on that lets you pre-book a specific pitch or rental accommodation number during the booking process. By paying a €20.00 preference fee, you lock in the exact location you want.

Why it’s helpful:

• Guarantees a particular pitch or accommodation number you choose in advance
• Helps you plan around nearby facilities that matter to you (e.g., playgrounds, sanitary buildings, Centrumplein)
• Reduces check-in uncertainty—arrive knowing your spot is set

Quick note on pricing transparency:

• A tourist tax of €3.30 per person per night applies for guests aged 4 and above
• A €4.00 per night supplement applies for any 5th or 6th person in your booking

When should you use it?

Use the €20 reservation advantage whenever location significantly shapes your stay:

• Families who want to be near playgrounds, the Discovery Trail (Belevingspad), or the sports field
• Guests who prefer to stay near the Centrumplein for easy access to the minimarket and Knoest Eten & Drinken
• Campers seeking extra tranquility at the edge of the woods or a car-free setting (such as Eikenbos Plus pitches)
• Guests planning activities like padel or bike rides and who want to be near those facilities
• Visitors with accessibility priorities who want assurance of a convenient location among the campsite’s wheelchair-accessible facilities and selected pitches

Tip: A minimum stay of two nights applies (this may be waived for last-minute bookings made directly through reception). If you’ve only got a short break, using the preference option helps make every hour count.

How to choose the ideal spot on the campsite map

Camping Geversduin provides an online campsite map (Plattegrond) so you can plan before you book. Combine the map with these practical considerations to narrow down your shortlist:

1) Decide on convenience vs. quiet

• Prefer a livelier, central base? Being close to the Centrumplein puts you near daily essentials: the minimarket, Knoest Eten & Drinken, and core services.
• Want a peaceful, nature-forward stay? Look for car-free zones or pitches on the edges of the wooded areas for a slower pace, especially suitable for relaxation and early bedtimes.

2) Plan around the facilities you’ll use most

• Families: Being near playgrounds and the Discovery Trail makes spontaneous play easy.
• Sports and activities: If you’re keen on the padel court or sports field, a nearby pitch keeps you on schedule.
• Practicalities: Proximity to sanitary buildings, water points, and designated waste-water disposal can make daily routines simpler.

3) Consider pitch access and parking

• Some pitches allow you to park your car directly on the pitch.
• Other areas are car-free, with vehicles left in the central parking area (complimentary for overnight guests). Choose based on your unloading needs and preference for a quieter environment.

4) Match pitch specs to your setup

• Each camping pitch accommodates one primary camping unit—tent, caravan, or motorhome—up to 8.5 metres in length.
• All pitches include a 16-amp electricity connection.
• Water points are distributed across the grounds, and waste-water disposal stations are designated.

5) Keep routines and rules in mind

• Quiet hours begin at 22:00. If you’re an early sleeper, a calmer area may suit you best.
• Dogs are more than welcome and must remain on a leash at all times within the campsite—choose a location that makes walk routines easy for you.

Featured pick: Eikenbos Plus pitches

If you’re eyeing extra space and a calmer setting, Eikenbos Plus pitches are a strong candidate:

• Spacious sites of about 80–140 m² on the quiet edge of the Eikenbos area
• Weekly bookable from Saturday to Saturday
• Car-free surroundings
• Suitable for tents, caravans, campers, or folding trailers up to 8 metres
• 16-amp electricity hook-up
• Conveniently close to the sports field, padel court, and a nearby sanitary building

Use the €20 reservation advantage to secure a particular Eikenbos Plus pitch number that suits your layout and routine.

Smart tips for choosing your exact spot

1. Start with your daily rhythm. If mornings at the minimarket are a must, look closer to the Centrumplein. If sunset quiet is your priority, consider edges of the woodland or car-free areas.
2. Map your must-dos. Planning loads of padel? Prefer quick playground runs? Pick a pitch that shortens your daily walking loop.
3. Account for setup. Check your unit length against pitch parameters (8.5 m general limit; 8 m for Eikenbos Plus).
4. Think through arrivals and departures. Early check-in or late check-out can sometimes be arranged on the day via reception, subject to availability—useful if you want less rush.
5. Confirm guest counts and fees. A maximum of six guests applies; budget for the tourist tax and any supplement for a 5th or 6th person.
6. Plan for pets. Dogs are welcome and must be leashed; choose a pitch that fits your walk routine.
7. Book early in busier periods. A minimum stay of two nights applies, and popular areas can fill fast—use the preference option to secure your ideal spot.
