Wheelchair-Ready Holidays: Previewing Our Upcoming Accessibility Icons and Filter
Planning a great escape is harder when accessibility isn’t clear. Wheelchair-Ready Holidays should be simple to plan, which is why we’re developing dedicated accessibility icons and a search filter to help you spot adapted campsites at a glance. In this preview, you’ll learn what’s coming, how it will help you plan with confidence, and what you can already check today on each campsite page.
What “Wheelchair-Ready Holidays” will mean on our platform
Wheelchair-friendly travel is about clarity. The more precise the information, the easier it is to choose confidently. On our site, Wheelchair-Ready Holidays will focus on:
- Fast discovery: a dedicated accessibility filter so you can surface relevant campsites quickly.
- Instant recognition: an accessibility icon in each campsite’s technical profile to highlight adapted facilities.
- Consistent placement: accessibility details presented in a predictable spot on every relevant page.
This is not a certification system. It’s a clear, practical layer that makes it easier to find campsites that highlight wheelchair access and related features.
What’s coming: accessibility icons and a dedicated filter
We are building two core improvements designed to streamline planning for Wheelchair-Ready Holidays:
Dedicated accessibility filter
- Filter results to show only campsites that indicate wheelchair-accessible features.
- Combine with other themes—such as Strand (Beach), Rivier/Meer (River/Lake), Berg (Mountain), Glamperen (Glamping), Welzijn (Wellness), Voor kinderen (Child-friendly), Met hond (Dog-friendly), Met waterparken (Water parks), Naturistencampings (Naturist), Klein/Sfeervol (Small/Atmospheric), and Het hele jaar geopend (Open all year)—to fine-tune your shortlist.
Accessibility icon on campsite pages
- A simple, prominent icon in each campsite’s technical profile will call out accessibility-related features where provided by the campsite.
These upgrades align with other enhancements under development, including EV-charging details with a dedicated filter, the display of official star ratings and recognised eco-certifications, a live-chat support option, the launch of official social-media channels, and a native mobile app scheduled for 2027. Together, these improvements aim to make searching and planning clearer and more convenient.
What you can check today (before the new tools arrive)
While the dedicated accessibility filter and icon are in development, you can already take several practical steps on our site:
Review campsite descriptions carefully
- Accessibility details may be included in individual campsite descriptions or on each campsite’s own website. If you have specific needs, it’s best to confirm directly with the campsite before booking.
Look for medical and safety information
- Each campsite page includes available details on on-site medical services and the proximity of emergency facilities to support secure planning.
Confirm seasonal opening dates
- We generally show seasonal opening and closing dates for campsites that are not open year-round. Because these dates are provided by the campsites themselves, always double-check the exact period on the campsite’s official website.
Use existing themes to narrow your search
- If your trip also hinges on location or amenities, combine your checks with themes such as Strand, Rivier/Meer, Berg, Glamperen, Welzijn, Voor kinderen, Met hond, Met waterparken, Naturistencampings, Klein/Sfeervol, or Het hele jaar geopend.
Rely on complete contact details
- Each dedicated campsite page lists the street address, telephone number, email, a direct link to the campsite’s official website, and precise GPS coordinates. This makes it easy to contact the property and verify accessibility specifics.
Share listings and book directly
- Use the Share option on any campsite detail page to send a listing to travel companions. Booking is completed on the campsite’s own website via the “Ontdek” link, and there are no booking or referral fees from our platform.
Search fast
- The homepage Zoeken search bar lets you jump straight to a campsite or destination by name.
A quick planning table
| Planning need | Where to find it now | What’s coming |
|---|---|---|
| Identify wheelchair-accessible options | Check individual descriptions; verify with campsite directly | Dedicated accessibility filter + icon on each relevant page |
| Understand medical/emergency access | Medical services and emergency proximity noted on campsite pages (where available) | Clearer, standardised presentation alongside accessibility info |
| Combine needs (e.g., beach + accessibility) | Use themes like Strand, Rivier/Meer, Berg, etc., then review accessibility details | One-click filtering that can be combined with other themes |
| Confidence on operating periods | Seasonal opening/closing dates shown; confirm on campsite’s site | Same info, surfaced consistently with other key details |
| Convenience and support | Full contact details, Share function, direct booking via “Ontdek” | Live chat, official social channels, and a native app (2027) |
What “wheelchair-ready” typically looks like (and how to verify)
Every traveller’s needs are unique. As you evaluate options, look for widely recognised accessibility features and confirm them directly with the campsite:
- Step-free access to reception, main pathways, common areas, restaurants, and shops.
- Adapted sanitary facilities, such as accessible showers and toilets with grab rails and adequate turning space.
- Accessible accommodation or pitches, including level surfaces and space for manoeuvring mobility aids.
- Parking and drop-off zones close to key facilities.
- Pool and wellness access with ramps or other aids where applicable.
- Clear signage and lighting along primary routes.
Tip: When you contact a campsite, explain your exact requirements (for example, door widths, shower access, gradient of ramps) to ensure a perfect match.
How the new accessibility layer fits into the broader experience
Our goal is to make discovery and decision-making faster without compromising quality:
- The Topcampings selection on the homepage already highlights luxury camping resorts known for excellent facilities and consistently positive guest feedback. The future accessibility filter will help you find adapted options within these curated picks faster.
- The upcoming display of official star ratings and recognised eco-certifications will add extra clarity around standards and sustainability credentials.
- Planned EV-charging details and a dedicated filter will support travellers who drive electric vehicles—useful if you combine wheelchair access with road-trip logistics.
