Choosing the right place to stay can make a big difference to your holiday. If you want more shade, a sunnier location, or a pitch that better suits your camping equipment, the €5 pitch-preference option gives you a simple way to request the spot that fits your plans best. At Camping de Regenboog, guests booking a standard camping pitch, Comfort pitch, or Camping Pitch XL can indicate a preferred pitch during the booking process, subject to availability.
In this guide, you will learn how the €5 pitch-preference option works, which pitch types it applies to, and how to choose a location that matches your needs. You will also find practical tips to help you book with confidence and enjoy a more relaxed arrival.
What is the €5 pitch-preference option?
The €5 pitch-preference option allows you to request a specific camping spot when making your booking. This option is available for:
- Standard camping pitches
- Comfort pitches
- Camping Pitch XL
The preference is subject to availability, which means the requested pitch must still be open at the time of booking.
This is a practical option for guests who already know what matters most to them, such as:
- More shade during the day
- Full sun from morning to evening
- A location that suits their tent, caravan, or camper setup
- A pitch near a feature that fits their family’s needs
How to reserve your favourite campsite spot
Reserving your preferred spot is straightforward. During the booking process, you can indicate which pitch you would like for an additional €5.
Step-by-step
- Choose your pitch type: standard, Comfort, or XL.
- Check the campsite map to see the available locations.
- Select your preferred pitch during booking.
- Add the €5 preference option.
- Complete your reservation, subject to availability.
If you are unsure which pitch would suit you best, help is available to think through the options so you can choose with more confidence.
Which pitch types include the preference option?
The pitch-preference option is not limited to one area of the campsite. It applies across several accommodation categories.
Standard camping pitches
When booking a standard camping pitch, you may select a preferred spot for €5, subject to availability.
These pitches also come with a few practical advantages that may affect your choice:
- Arrival and departure are possible daily, subject to availability.
- An extra tent is allowed, which can be useful for children or extra luggage.
- Charging stations for electric cars are available at the campsite for a fee.
Some standard pitches also offer more shade, including:
- 10
- 15 to 18
- 39
- 54
If staying cooler or having more shelter from the sun is important to you, these are useful numbers to keep in mind when booking.
Comfort pitches
Comfort pitches also offer the €5 pitch-preference option. These pitches are spread across different parts of the campsite, and their position affects how much sun they receive during the day.
Comfort pitches 51–54
These pitches lie behind pitches 57–60 and offer:
- Sun in the morning and evening
- A pleasant mix of sun and shade during the day
Comfort pitches 57–60
These pitches are:
- Completely in the sun
- Sunny from sunrise to sunset
- Located directly in front of a water playground
That makes pitches 57–60 especially suitable for families with young children who like being close to that area.
If you already know you prefer either a fully sunny pitch or one with a balance of sun and shade, the preference option makes it easier to request the area that matches your ideal stay.
Camping Pitch XL
Guests booking a Camping Pitch XL can also request a preferred spot for €5, subject to availability shown on the campsite map.
Camping Pitch XL practical points include:
- Designed for one family per campsite
- Daily arrivals and departures possible, subject to availability
- Free parking
- Pets are allowed, provided they are kept on a leash
- The exact location can be viewed on the campsite map
For XL pitches, location can matter even more if you want a layout that works well for larger camping equipment or a more spacious family setup.
Why reserving a preferred pitch can be worth it
A small booking choice can have a real impact on comfort once you arrive. The €5 pitch-preference option can help you avoid guesswork and make your stay feel better planned from the start.
Here are a few reasons guests may choose it:
1. You can match the pitch to your sun or shade preference
Not everyone wants the same kind of location. Some guests want bright, open sun all day, while others prefer cooler, more shaded places.
At Camping de Regenboog, there are clear examples of both:
- Shade-friendly standard pitches such as 10, 15–18, 39, and 54
- Sunny Comfort pitches such as 57–60
- Mixed sun and shade Comfort pitches such as 51–54
2. You can choose a pitch that suits your family
If you are travelling with children, being close to certain facilities or open spaces can make your stay more practical. For example, the Comfort pitches 57–60 are directly in front of the water playground, which may be attractive for families with young children.
3. You can choose a location that works for your camping setup
Tent shape, caravan size, and overall layout preferences can all affect which pitch feels most comfortable. This matters even more on a Camping Pitch XL, where guests may want to check the map carefully before choosing.
4. You can arrive with more certainty
Knowing you have requested a specific spot helps make arrival day simpler. Instead of deciding on the spot, you can travel knowing your preference has already been placed with the booking.
How to choose the best pitch for your stay
If you are deciding whether to use the €5 pitch-preference option, think about your daily routine and what makes you feel most comfortable on holiday.
Ask yourself these questions
- Do you prefer sun, shade, or a mix of both?
- Are you travelling with young children?
- Do you need space for an extra tent?
- Are you booking a standard pitch, Comfort pitch, or Camping Pitch XL?
- Would you benefit from studying the campsite map before booking?
