Secure Your Spot: How to Reserve a Specific Pitch Number for an Extra €50
Want to guarantee that lake view, shade pattern, or proximity to your favorite terrace row on your next camping holiday? Good news: you can reserve a specific pitch number for a one-time €50 fixed-pitch fee and lock in the exact spot you love. In this guide, you'll learn the seasonal rules, payment timeline, and essential policies so you can reserve a specific pitch number confidently—and avoid surprises.
What "reserving a specific pitch number" really means
- A fixed-pitch reservation lets you secure an exact, confirmed pitch number for an additional €50 one-time fee.
- Without the fixed-pitch upgrade, pitches are allocated by campsite management within your booked category, and may be moved for organizational reasons.
- By paying the fixed-pitch fee, you lock your desired pitch number, and no further changes are made to that assignment.
Minimum stay rules by season (2026)
You can reserve a specific pitch number year-round, but minimum-night rules apply depending on the season.
| Season | Dates (2026) | Minimum nights for a fixed pitch |
|---|---|---|
| High season | 1 July – 1 September | 7 nights minimum |
| Mid-season | 22 May – 1 July; 1 September – 14 September | 5 nights minimum |
| Early & late season | 15 April – 22 May; 14 September – 1 November | 5 nights minimum |
Additional notes:
- Arrival and departure days can be chosen freely for camping pitches.
- General pitch reservations are accepted regardless of length of stay, but the above minimums apply when you reserve a specific pitch number.
Payment timeline and what you’ll owe
All bookings are accepted and confirmed in writing. Your reservation becomes binding after the campsite confirms receipt of your required payment.

- If a deposit is not received within the deadline, the campsite may reallocate the reserved pitch.
Fixed-pitch upgrade
- To reserve a specific pitch number, add the €50 fixed-pitch fee (one-time) to secure your chosen spot.

Cancellations, changes, and arrival rules to know
- Cancellations must be in writing (email or letter).

- Within 30 days of arrival: no refund is granted.
- These rules apply no matter how you booked (including online).
- Changes to an existing booking are only valid in writing. Phone or verbal agreements count only after they’re confirmed in writing by the campsite.
- Arrival and departure for pitches: available from 12:00 noon on arrival day; vacate by 12:00 noon on departure day.
- Late arrival or early departure: in the summer season, nights not used are charged at a flat €45 per night. Please inform the campsite if you’re delayed.

Is the €50 fixed-pitch fee worth it?
Consider the upgrade if any of the following apply:
- You have a favorite view or layout (e.g., First-row on Terrace 5) and want certainty.
- You’re traveling in peak summer (1 July – 1 September) when demand is highest.
- You’re coordinating multiple families or friends and need neighboring pitches.
- You prefer being close to specific facilities or shade/sun exposure that suits your setup.
If you’re flexible about location and timing, you can book by category and let the team allocate your pitch. But when exact placement matters, the €50 one-time fee is a simple, high-value way to remove uncertainty.
