Add campsite-wide WiFi and a peaceful, car-free setting on the Veluwe, and you get the best of nature with the convenience you actually use.

In this guide, you’ll learn what Comfort Camping means at De Wildhoeve, how each utility enhances your stay, and practical tips to make the most of your pitch—whether you arrive by tent, caravan, folding trailer, or camper.

What Comfort Camping Means at De Wildhoeve

At De Wildhoeve, everyone gets a comfort pitch. That means, on every pitch you’ll find:

The setting enhances the comfort, too. De Wildhoeve is a car-free campsite: after you set up, you park your car in the designated parking area. Handy carts are available by the barrier for groceries and extra luggage. The result is a quieter, safer, more natural environment to unwind.

Why These Utilities Matter (And How They Improve Your Stay)

On-pitch water and drainage

Having your own water tap at the pitch means no more trekking back and forth for every refill. From cooking and dishwashing to brushing teeth and rinsing gear, it’s a daily time-saver. The integrated drainage helps manage grey water neatly and hygienically, keeping your pitch clean and comfortable.

Practical plus: efficient water use is simpler when the tap is at hand—you can fill only what you need and avoid unnecessary waste.

CAI connection: what it is and why you’ll use it

CAI (cable antenna) provides a stable wired signal for TV/radio. It’s ideal if you like to catch the news, watch a family movie on a rainy evening, or follow a big event while you’re away.

8 A electricity: power made practical

With 8 A power at every pitch, you can comfortably run typical camping essentials such as lighting, a small fridge, chargers, and other low to moderate-load devices. It encourages smart energy use—perfect for an outdoor holiday where you keep things simple and efficient.

Tips for smooth usage:

WiFi you can rely on for the basics

Camp-wide WiFi is available on networks Wildhoeve 1, 2, or 3 depending on your location. It’s intended for general use, so it’s great for checking the weather, staying in touch, and basic browsing. For heavier tasks, plan ahead (e.g., download content before arrival) to keep things smooth.

Comfort Meets Nature on the Veluwe

Comfort Camping at De Wildhoeve goes hand in hand with an immersive nature experience on the Veluwe. Step out from your pitch into serene forests, or head right onto the cycling route network for a ride. Walk through Koninklijke Houtvesterij Het Loo and keep an eye out for wildlife. Families can tap into a rich program for all ages:

And when you stay on-site, there’s plenty to enjoy:

This balance—robust on-pitch utilities plus memorable activities—makes Comfort Camping at De Wildhoeve ideal for both relaxation and adventure.

Quick Answers (Great for Planning)

Practical Tips to Maximize Your Comfort Pitch

  1. Plan your power use on 8 A

    • Prioritize essentials. Avoid using multiple high-load devices simultaneously. Energy-efficient gear keeps things simple and safe.

  2. Bring the right basics for water and drainage

    • Pack an appropriate hose and fittings for your on-pitch water tap, plus a practical solution for grey-water drainage to keep your area tidy.

  3. Pack a coaxial cable for CAI

    • A standard coax cable connects your TV or receiver to the CAI point for reliable viewing and listening.

  4. Make WiFi work for you

    • Since WiFi is for general use, download maps, playlists, or films before arrival. Use messaging and browsing during your stay for a smooth experience.

  5. Embrace the car-free calm

    • After set-up, move your car to the parking area and use the provided carts to transport groceries or extra items. You’ll notice the quieter atmosphere right away.

  6. Book activities early (and often)

    • If you’re visiting during school holidays, explore the recreation program and nature excursions. Families love the mix of learning and fun.

  7. Explore beyond your pitch

    • Walk or cycle straight from the campsite into the Veluwe. Nearby, discover characterful towns like Elburg and Apeldoorn, attractions such as Julianatoren and Walibi, and a wide choice of museums.

  8. Choose your stay, your way

    • Bring your tent, folding trailer, caravan, or camper, or opt to rent one of the accommodations like the Astro Mobile Home (4 pers.), Safaritent (6 pers.), or Artcamp (5 pers.)—each offers a unique way to experience the Veluwe.
