Charging Ahead: EV‑Friendly Camping — Our Upcoming EV‑Charger Search Filter
Planning a road trip with an electric vehicle shouldn’t feel like a puzzle. If you’re mapping out an EV‑friendly camping holiday, the ability to see charging options near your campsite is essential for peace of mind. That’s why we’re building an upcoming EV‑charger search filter and adding EV‑charging details to campsite pages—so you can plan with confidence, save time, and enjoy the journey.
In this article, you’ll learn what EV‑friendly camping means, where our platform stands today, what’s coming next, and how to plan a smooth trip right now.
Why EV‑Friendly Camping Matters
EV‑friendly camping brings together the freedom of the open road and the practicalities of charging. A few universal principles help explain why it matters:
- Overnight top‑ups reduce range anxiety. Charging where you stay can replenish range quietly while you sleep, turning downtime into drive time.
- Smarter routing means fewer detours. Knowing you can charge at or near your destination simplifies route planning and helps you avoid unnecessary stops.
- Predictability improves travel comfort. Clear charging information sets expectations for families, first‑time EV drivers, and long‑distance travellers alike.
These benefits are widely understood among EV drivers and apply whether you’re heading to the coast, the mountains, or a lakeside retreat.
Where We Stand Today
We’re committed to making EV‑friendly camping easier. Here’s the current state of play on our platform:
- EV charging visibility and search: The platform presently neither displays nor allows searches for electric‑vehicle charging facilities at or near its campsites. This functionality is under development. Future updates will add EV‑charging details to campsite pages along with a dedicated search filter.
- Medical and safety context: Each campsite page includes available details on on‑site medical services and the proximity of emergency facilities, helping you make informed choices for a secure stay.
- How to find campsites today: Use the homepage Zoeken bar to type a campsite name or destination and jump straight to results.
- Curated themes to refine your search: You can already browse rich themes that match your style of holiday, including:
- Strand (Beach): 69 campsites
- Voor kinderen (Child‑friendly): 86 campsites
- Met waterparken (Water parks): 47 campsites
- Rivier/Meer (River/Lake): 18 campsites
- Berg (Mountain): 7 campsites
- Glamperen (Glamping): 23 campsites
- Hond toegestaan (Dog‑friendly): 61 campsites
- Klein/Sfeervol (Small/Atmospheric): 3 campsites
- Het hele jaar geopend (Open all year): a dedicated page lists 24 campsites
- Geography: We present an overview of family‑friendly campsites in France, Spain and Portugal.
- Booking and pricing: There are no booking or referral fees. We don’t display live prices or availability; you complete your reservation directly on each campsite’s website via the Ontdek link.

What’s Coming: Our EV‑Charger Search Filter
To support EV‑friendly camping, we are actively developing:
- EV‑charging details on campsite pages: Future updates will highlight charging information at or near each listed campsite.
- A dedicated EV‑charger search filter: You’ll be able to narrow your results to campsites with EV‑charging options, making it faster to shortlist suitable stays.
What this means for you:
- Faster planning: Spot EV‑friendly options at a glance instead of combing through multiple sources.
- Smarter shortlists: Combine the upcoming EV‑charger filter with existing themes—like Strand, Voor kinderen, Met waterparken, or Berg—to find places that fit your family, activity, and charging needs.
- Clearer decisions: With EV‑charging details on campsite pages, you can evaluate charging convenience alongside facilities, location, and seasonal opening information.
Note: The new features will complement our existing approach—curated inspiration, easy navigation, and direct booking via the campsite’s own website.
How EV‑Friendly Camping Benefits Different Travellers
- Families: Less time worrying about range, more time enjoying pools, playgrounds, and organised animation often found under our family‑oriented listings.
- Beach lovers and surfers: Combine EV charging with coastal themes such as Strand to streamline seaside holidays.
- Mountain explorers: Use the Berg theme to reach scenic highlands, supported by predictable charging at or near your base.
- Year‑round travellers: With 24 campsites open all year, a charging‑aware shortlist can make winter or shoulder‑season trips more flexible.
- Pet owners: Pair charging convenience with Hond toegestaan to ensure a smooth trip with your dog.
Plan an EV‑Friendly Trip Now: Practical Tips
While the EV‑charger search filter is in development, these actionable steps will help you plan with confidence today:
- Check the campsite’s own website for charging info. Because we don’t yet display EV‑charging details or live availability, confirm the latest information directly with the campsite.
- Verify seasonal opening dates. We generally show opening periods on campsite pages, but always double‑check dates on the campsite’s website before you finalise plans.
- Prioritise overnight charging. Many EV travellers prefer to recharge while resting; planning for an overnight top‑up typically reduces daytime stops.
- Bring the right cables and adapters. Having your own charging cable and compatible adapters increases flexibility at different locations.
- Mind charging etiquette. Move your vehicle once charging is complete to keep spaces available for others.
- Build a buffer into your route. A small range cushion protects against detours or weather‑related consumption changes.
- Use our existing themes to shape your shortlist. Combine your destination with filters like Strand (69), Voor kinderen (86), Met waterparken (47), Rivier/Meer (18), Berg (7) or Glamperen (23) to create a high‑quality, EV‑aware plan.
- Leverage medical and safety info. Review on‑site medical services and nearby emergency facilities listed on each campsite page.
- Share your shortlist. Use the Share option on campsite pages to send listings to your travel companions via messaging apps or social platforms.
- Book directly, fee‑free. Click Ontdek to reserve on the campsite’s own website. There are no booking or referral fees from our platform.
