How Volunteers Elevate Every Guest’s Stay

A great campsite experience is often the sum of many small, consistently cared-for details. Your 20-hour weekly contribution touches the places guests value most.

• Spotless, well-stocked washblocks: Guests appreciate a clean, spacious sanitary building with hot showers, toilets stocked with toilet paper and hand soap, baby-care amenities, and washing machines. Volunteer cleaning rounds and light maintenance help keep these facilities fresh and reliable throughout the day.

• Tidy green spaces and safe play areas: Regular pruning and mowing keep the grounds inviting. Children find slides, swings, a trampoline, a sandbox, and climbing structures in the main playground—areas that feel welcoming when lawns are cut and paths are clear.

• Accommodations and pitches that feel ready-to-enjoy: From Safari Basic tents to log cabins and spacious camping pitches, presentation matters. Your painting days and cleaning support help accommodations and shared areas look their best.

  • Comfort pitches offer 10-amp electricity, private drinking-water connections, and grey-water discharge at the pitch—well-kept surroundings make these practical perks shine.
  • Camping Pitch XL provides about 200 m² of space with 10-amp electricity and nearby water points, designed for one family per pitch. A neat, peaceful setting enhances that sense of space and privacy.
  • Hiker’s pitches remain flexible and welcoming for walkers, cyclists, and bikers—clean, orderly grounds make short stays easier.

• Smoother hospitality across the board: When volunteers handle practical upkeep, the core team can focus on guest-facing moments—like quick replies via the reception messaging in the campsite app, dependable bread service, and day-to-day welcome at the 24-hour self-service kiosk for check-in or out.

• More energy for free family activities: In high season, a Dutch-speaking recreation team hosts a free programme of sports, games, and activities. Volunteers help by keeping the animation center and shared spaces clean and orderly, so these moments start on time in a welcoming setting.

• Little extras feel easier: Whether it’s ordering snacks via the app for pickup at the on-site snackbar, or enjoying quiet evenings thanks to designated quiet hours (22:00–07:00), a well-kept environment makes everything more enjoyable.
