How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is roughly 400 metres from Camping De Regenboog. That short, foot-friendly distance means you can pick up essentials between activities without rearranging your day.

A nearby store makes self-catering smooth and flexible. While selections vary by shop, you’ll typically find:

Tip: Bring a reusable shopping bag for a lighter, hands-free walk back to your pitch or cabin.
Pairing off-site shopping with on-site food options
A short supermarket stroll complements the on-site offerings so you never run short on time—or flavour.
Daily bread-roll service
- Fresh rolls are available through our on-site bread-roll service and can be collected each morning.
- Combine with supermarket staples (e.g., fruit or spreads) for a quick, budget-friendly breakfast.
Bistro schedule (high and low season)
- High season: Our small bistro is open nearly every day.
- Low season: Open about 1–2 times per week.
Use the bistro for easy lunches or dinners on lighter cooking days, and stock the rest from the supermarket for flexible self-catering.
Self-catering in your accommodation
- Woodland cabins include a private kitchen area and each has its own washing machine—ideal for longer stays and family routines.
- Safari Basic tents are equipped so you can cook in your own tent—great for simple meals and outdoor dining.
Campfire and grilling: know the rules before you shop
If you’re planning to cook outdoors, please note:
- Campfires are not permitted on individual pitches.
- A designated communal campfire area is available for open fires.
- Grilling on a pitch is allowed provided the grass is not burned or damaged.
- Grills are not supplied by the campsite, so plan accordingly.
