Sun or Shade? Choosing Your Ideal Comfort Pitch (Sites 51–60) at Camping de Regenboog

If you’ve ever arrived at a campsite and thought, “I wish we’d picked a sunnier (or shadier) spot,” this guide is for you. On a comfort pitch, you can request specific micro-climates—fully sunny sites 57–60 or mixed-sun locations 51–54—when you book. For a small €5 preference fee (subject to availability), you can align the light, warmth and daily rhythm of your pitch with your camping style while enjoying on-pitch water, drainage and 10-amp power.

Quick answer: which comfort pitch should I choose—51–54 or 57–60?

• Sites 51–54 (mixed sun): Morning and evening sun with a pleasant mix of sun and shade during the day. Ideal if you like cooler midday breaks, naps, or a tent that doesn’t heat up too fast.
• Sites 57–60 (full sun): In the sun from sunrise to sunset. Great for long, bright days, faster gear drying, and a classic open-sky feel. There’s a water playground directly in front of these sites, making them especially suitable for families with young children.

Reserve your preferred range (51–54 or 57–60) during booking for €5, subject to availability.

What you get on every Comfort Pitch

Every comfort pitch at Camping de Regenboog is designed for practical, comfortable stays—especially convenient for caravans and motorhomes.

• At least 100 m² per pitch
• Suitable for tents, caravans and motorhomes
• 10-amp electricity hook-up
• Private drinking-water tap on the pitch
• On-pitch grey-water drainage
• Locations across quiet and livelier areas of the campsite; when booking, you can indicate whether you prefer extra peace or proximity to facilities and play areas
• Free parking on the campsite
• Charging stations for electric cars available (for a fee)

Tip: If you’re comparing options, a standard Campground pitch also includes 10A power and nearby water points, while a comfort pitch adds the convenience of your own water and drainage on-site—particularly helpful for longer stays.

Sun vs. shade on sites 51–60: what actually changes?

Choosing between sun and shade is about more than preference—it shapes how you spend time outdoors, how your tent or caravan regulates temperature, and even how you plan meals and naps.

Sites 51–54: balanced light for cooler middays

• Sun in the morning and evening; a pleasant mix of sun and shade through the day
• Set behind sites 57–60, offering a subtly sheltered feel
• Good for campers who like early sunshine, a comfortable midday cool-down, and late-afternoon light for dinner prep or games

Use it if you:

• Prefer naps or kids’ quiet time in the early afternoon
• Want less heat build-up inside tents or awnings
• Enjoy morning coffee in the sun without the all-day glare

Sites 57–60: full-day sun and family fun

• Fully sunny from sunrise to sunset—the quintessential open, bright pitch
• Water playground directly in front, making these spots especially suitable for families with young children
• Helpful if you like quick-drying towels and gear, long sunny breakfasts, and a warm, open feel throughout the day

Use it if you:

• Want uninterrupted sunlight for most of your day
• Plan lots of time outdoors with easy-to-watch play nearby
• Value dry ground and faster evaporation after dew or showers

How the €5 preference works when you book

• During booking, indicate a preference—for example: “sites 51–54 (mixed sun)” or “sites 57–60 (full sun).”
• A €5 preference fee lets you request a specific area, subject to availability.
• You can also specify if you prefer extra peace and privacy or to be closer to facilities and play areas.
• The campsite map shows exactly where the comfort pitches are located, so you can visualize your choice before arrival.

Practical benefits of a comfort pitch (and why it matters over time)

• On-pitch water and drainage streamline daily routines. Filling kettles, washing up, and emptying grey water become quick, low-effort tasks—especially handy for longer stays.
• 10-amp electricity supports typical camping appliances like lights, chargers, and small kitchen equipment commonly used in caravans and motorhomes.
• The minimum 100 m² footprint makes it easier to set up a tidy, safe layout with room for a table, chairs, and outdoor play.

Tips to choose between sun and shade like a pro

1. Prioritize your midday plan.
   • If midday is your main relax-and-cool-down window, choose 51–54 (mixed sun).
   • If midday is for adventures and being out, a warmer base at 57–60 won’t bother you.
2. Think about sleep and wake times.
   • Early risers who love a bright start can enjoy both ranges; mixed-sun spots temper afternoon heat.
   • Heat-sensitive sleepers tend to prefer 51–54 for cooler afternoons.
3. Consider young children.
   • For easy supervision near play, 57–60 sits by the water playground.
4. Plan for gear management.
   • Drying towels and clothes is easier with full sun (57–60).
5. Decide on proximity vs. quiet.
   • During booking, you can specify whether you prefer extra peace and privacy or to be closer to facilities and play areas—pair this with your sun/shade choice.
