Our Basic Pitches
Kampeerplaatsen
Simple, spacious and just the way camping is meant to be
You arrive, set up and immediately feel that things can slow down here. Sometimes all you need is an open field, some space around you and time that is yours again. That is exactly what you will find on our basic pitches. At Camping Houtum in Kasterlee, you camp simply, spaciously and surrounded by the green nature of the Kempen region.
Our basic camping pitches are located together on one large, open camping field. No strict lines or fixed directions, but pitches that follow the natural shape of the field. You settle in the way that feels right to you, with open views and enough distance.
You arrive with whatever you travel with. Every type of camping unit is welcome on the basic field, whether it is a tent, caravan, motorhome or folding trailer.
There are thirty pitches, each approximately 100 m². Not identical, but all spacious. This gives each pitch its own character without compromising comfort. You can choose whether you prefer to stay more centrally or in a quieter corner.
The sanitary facilities are within walking distance and when evening falls, peace naturally returns. Nothing needs to be planned here. You arrive, set up and the rest follows.
Camping on our basic field
100 m² per basic pitch
Each pitch offers sufficient space for comfortable camping. On the basic field, tiles with pitch numbers clearly indicate where each pitch begins and ends, without the field being strictly divided.
One additional tent up to 6 m²
One additional tent per pitch is allowed, with a maximum surface of 6 m². This can be used as extra sleeping space or for luggage.
10 amp electricity included
Each pitch includes a 10 amp electricity connection. The connection points are spread across the field. Depending on where you are located, the connection point may be up to approximately 25 metres away. Bringing a longer power cable is therefore recommended.
Water points on the field
Several water taps are available on the camping field, ensuring that water is always easily accessible. You can also collect water at the service point.
One car parked at your pitch
On the basic field, you may park one car at your pitch. You can also choose to park your car in one of our central parking areas.
Do you have a favourite pitch?
Many campers know it after just one stay. That spot where the sun falls just right, where you have shelter from the wind, where you experience more privacy, close to the sanitary facilities or just near the exit for a quick start to a walk or bike ride. Sometimes one camping pitch simply feels right.
Would you like to stay on that same pitch during your next visit? You can secure your preferred pitch for €6. This way you are guaranteed a spot that makes the difference for you.
You can easily select this option during your online reservation by choosing a preferred pitch. You can also let us know by phone or email and we will include it in your booking. We never do this automatically. The choice is always yours.
In exceptional cases, a camping pitch may temporarily not be available, for example due to weather conditions. If that happens, we will always look for a suitable solution together. It rarely occurs, but we believe it is important to mention this in advance.
Standard features on all camping fields
Arrival and departure times
On the day of arrival, your camping pitch is available from 1.00 pm. On the day of departure, we kindly ask you to vacate the pitch by 12.00 noon.
(Online) reservations
For all our camping pitches, we prefer that you reserve in advance via our online reservation system. After booking, you will receive a confirmation by email as soon as possible. It contains further information about your stay with us in Kasterlee.
Maximum 6 persons per pitch
A maximum of six persons are allowed per camping pitch. This makes the pitches suitable for families and smaller groups, with enough space for everyone.
Barrier and access to the campsite
Between 7.00 am and 11.00 pm, you can enter and leave the campsite with a barrier card (deposit €10). If you wish to leave during the day, the barrier opens automatically when you are about two metres in front of it. In case of emergency, you can always exit the campsite.
Free wifi (recreational internet)
Free wifi is available on the campsite for practical use. We continue to invest each year in improving the connection.
Dogs are welcome, always on a leash
Dogs are allowed on the campsite, provided they remain on a leash at all times. We kindly ask you to clean up after your dog. In the surrounding area, there are plenty of opportunities for leashed walks.
Camping with a group
Would you like to camp with a small party, family or a larger group? On our basic field, this is perfectly possible. Thanks to the open layout, we can place groups as close together as possible without it feeling crowded.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, we kindly ask you to reserve in time. The earlier we know you wish to stay together, the better we can take this into account when planning the field layout.
Everyone can book separately online. Agree on a group name and mention it in the comments. This allows us to identify which reservations belong together.
Prefer one single reservation for the entire group? That is also possible. In that case, we only need the details of one main contact person. We will create one group reservation behind the scenes and ensure that your pitches are located as close together as possible. You can send the details to info@campinghoutum.be.
Important to know: participants may pay per pitch, but we cannot issue separate invoices per pitch. One invoice will be made for the entire group.
We always do our very best to place groups together, with respect for the peace of the campsite and for other campers.
