All Pitches Welcome: Why We Skip Caravan and Campervan Icons on Our Campsite Cards

If you’ve ever scanned a campsite directory hunting for tiny caravan and campervan icons, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: you don’t need caravan and campervan icons on our cards to know if your setup is welcome. On Campings in Zuid-Europa, every listed campsite already accepts caravans, campervans, and tents—so separate icons would only add clutter, not clarity. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly why we keep those icons off our cards, what our icons do highlight, and how to quickly confirm practical details for your trip.

The short answer

We don’t display caravan and campervan icons because all of our campsites accept caravans, campervans, and tents by default. When you browse our collection, you can choose any property with confidence, regardless of your setup.

The only exception we note is when a property offers rental units only (e.g., mobile homes, bungalows, or glamping tents) and has no traditional pitches. In those cases, we state it clearly so you won’t waste time investigating a site that doesn’t fit your plans.

What our icons do show on campsite cards

Instead of repeating the obvious, our campsite cards highlight features that truly vary between properties and matter for planning. You’ll see concise, visual cues such as:

These icons instantly differentiate one campsite from another, helping you shortlist based on setting, atmosphere, and facilities—not just pitch eligibility (which is already guaranteed).

Why skipping caravan and campervan icons helps you choose faster

How to confirm the details that matter to your setup

While caravan and campervan acceptance is universal on our site, you may still want to confirm practicalities for your specific outfit. Here’s how to do it quickly:

  1. Open the dedicated page via “Ontdek.” Every campsite card includes an “Ontdek” link to a detail page with location, feature icons, and a direct booking link.
  2. Check operating periods. When a campsite isn’t open year-round, seasonal opening and closing dates are generally shown. Always verify dates on the campsite’s own website before finalising travel.
  3. Use the full contact details. Our campsite pages list the street address, telephone number, email, website, and precise GPS coordinates. If you have questions about pitch surfaces, access, or placement rules, contact the campsite directly for the most accurate guidance.
  4. Look for rental-only notes. If a property has no traditional pitches and offers only rental units (like mobile homes or glamping tents), we flag that so you can adjust your shortlist.

Tip: When reaching out to a campsite, share your vehicle length, height, and whether you use an awning. This helps the team confirm the best pitch and any on-site placement guidance. (This is standard practice in camping and makes arrival day smoother.)

Edge cases: rental-unit-only properties

Most of our listings offer traditional pitches alongside rental accommodations. However, some properties are rental-only—think mobile homes, bungalows, or glamping tents without touring pitches. In those cases, we explicitly note that there are no pitches available. This keeps expectations clear and ensures you won’t arrive with a caravan or campervan at a site designed exclusively for fixed accommodations.

Do I need caravan and campervan icons to know if my rig is welcome?

No. Every campsite we list accepts caravans, campervans, and tents, so separate icons are unnecessary.

Can I filter by pitch type or size?

A dedicated filter for Glamping is available. Filters for specific accommodation types (e.g., mobile homes or chalets) and pitch sizes are not yet available. Because every listed campsite accepts caravans, campervans, and tents, a separate pitch-type filter isn’t required for eligibility.

Where can I find campsites open all year?

Use the theme page Het hele jaar geopend (Open all year). It currently lists 24 campsites that remain open throughout the entire year.

Which themes help me refine my shortlist?

Explore themes like Strand (Beach), Rivier/Meer (River/Lake), Berg (Mountain), Voor kinderen (Child-friendly), Met hond (Dog-friendly), Glamperen (Glamping), Welzijn (Wellness), Met waterparken (Water parks), Naturistencampings (Naturist), and Klein/Sfeervol (Small/Atmospheric).

Will you add more helpful indicators?

Yes. We’re working on dedicated filters and icons for wheelchair-accessible campsites and EV-charging facilities. We also plan to display official star ratings and recognised eco-certifications on campsite pages to support clearer, sustainability-aware choices.

Practical takeaways

Why this approach benefits every traveller

Our mission is to help you find the right campsite faster, with fewer doubts and more inspiration. Because pitch eligibility is universal across our listings, caravan and campervan icons would repeat the same message on every card without improving your decision-making. By reserving icons for meaningful differences—like beach proximity, wellness, family focus, dog-friendly policies, glamping options, mountain/river settings, and year-round openings—we keep your shortlist process clear, visual, and efficient.

Conclusion

You don’t need caravan and campervan icons on our campsite cards—all pitches are welcome across our listings. Instead, focus on the icons and themes that actually shape your holiday: beach or mountains, family or wellness, glamping or naturist, water parks or small and atmospheric. Then click Ontdek for details and book directly with the campsite.
