Frequently asked questions

General

Am I allowed to have visitors at the campsite?

At Camping de Meulinge, you are definitely welcome to have visitors – we think it’s only nice! Day visitors are welcome for free. If children are visiting, they often want to play at Speelboerderij Pierewiet. For this, a day ticket must be purchased at Speelboerderij Pierewiet.

If visitors want to stay overnight, this is possible at your pitch as long as no more than six people are staying there. For overnight stays, we charge €6 per person per night (except for children aged 0, 1, and 2). Please report this at the reception! If there are more than six people at the pitch, we ask visitors to book their own pitch on the campsite.

Are visitors coming by car? They may park on Molenweg or in the parking area at the campsite entrance. Please do not let visitors park on the campsite pitch or by the chalet. If everyone brings two cars onto the site, there won’t be enough parking spaces for everyone, and it will also be less safe for the children.

Are dogs allowed?

Dogs are welcome at the campsite for €4.25 per dog per night. A maximum of two dogs is allowed per pitch. We also rent three chalets where dogs are permitted (C17, C21, and C26). A maximum of two dogs is also allowed in our caravans.

Are we allowed to set up a party tent?

Yes, you are allowed to set up a party tent to sit under in the evening. However, please keep the following in mind:

• The party tent must be open so that it is not considered a tent by the municipality.
• Please note that the campsite must be quiet from 11:00 PM.

Can I enter the premises with two cars to unload?

Upon arrival, it is not a problem to enter the campsite with two cars briefly to unload. However, we expect that the second car will be parked as soon as possible outside the campsite in one of the parking areas. We rely on everyone’s cooperation—thank you in advance.

ChatGPT zei: Am I allowed to access all areas with the wristband from Speelboerderij Pierewiet?

No, the band is only valid in the outdoor and indoor playgrounds, the waterplayground and the petting zoo. For the technique loft and miniature golf you have to pay a additional charge. For a craft kit for the technique loft you pay €4.00. Miniature golf costs €5 for adults and €2.50 for children.

Do you need coins for the shower?

No, we don’t use shower tokens. You can simply press the button and water will come out of the showerhead. However, to keep waiting times reasonable during the high season and with sustainability in mind, the water in the central sanitary building runs for 3 minutes at a time. After that, you can press the button again to have the water run for another 3 minutes. In the private sanitary cabins and rental accommodations, there is no stop button.

Do you provide WIFI/internet?

Sure! Our Wi-Fi system is open, so you don’t need a password. Guests tell us that it works so well that you can even stream, download, send files, or do whatever you want on multiple devices! And all of that, completely free.

For whom is the camp suitable?

Simply put: for anyone who just wants to quietly enjoy the hospitality of Zeeuws Vlaanderen. We have many families with children up to around 10 years old. For this age group, Pierewiet, the water playground, and the animation program are also suitable. For children older than 10, we do not have special facilities or activities. But active couples without children, or whose children have already left home, also feel at home with us. This is because the campsite is quiet and easy to overview. The surroundings of the campsite are ideal for walking and cycling trips.

How does the barrier work?

Upon arrival, you will receive a plastic card for the barrier. You can use this card to open the barrier. Make sure your car is actually positioned in front of the barrier, as there are sensors in the ground. If no car is in front of the barrier, it will not open even if you use the card. To ensure nighttime quiet, the barrier only operates between 8:00 AM and 11:00 PM. We ask that you return the barrier card upon departure.

Is there a quiet time in the evening at the campsite?

Yes, we are a quiet family campsite. For this reason, the campsite must be quiet from 11:00 PM. Please be considerate of other families who may have young children sleeping in the evening.

Camping

Can I put up a small extra tent?

On each camping pitch, one main camping unit (tent, caravan, folding trailer, VW bus, or motorhome) is allowed. In addition, up to 2 extra tents may be placed. These may have a maximum area of 6 m². This is a regulation from the municipality of Sluis.

My power is gone, what do I do?

All of our campsites have at least 10 Ampere electricity. That is more than enough for most needs: you can use up to 2300 watts at the same time. So a standard kettle, Senseo coffee maker, etc., is no problem, although such appliances should not be used simultaneously even with 10 amps. Most campers are used to keeping this in mind.

If the power unexpectedly goes out, first check whether the fuse in your own camping unit hasn’t tripped. If that’s not the case, the fuse in our distribution box has likely tripped. You cannot fix this yourself and will need to report it to us. Power outages can be reported until 10:00 PM.

Accommodations

Do the rental accommodations provide bed sheeting and towels?

In our rental accommodations we provide moltons, duvets and pillows on the bed to use. However, you have to bring linnen like a duvet cover from home or book it in advance, EUR 12,50 per person.

We do not provide towels. So you'll have to btring them yourselves. 

Do we have to pay a deposit for our rental accommodation?

For all our rental accommodations, we require a €50 deposit. If everything is in order at the end of your stay, we will refund this to your account. We aim to return it within two weeks after departure. If you have rented a luxury comfort pitch with your own sanitary unit, we ask for a €10 deposit for the key.

Arrival & departure

I would like to leave before 8 am, is that possible?

Yes definitely, but make sure your car is already parked outside the barrier and go to reception a day in advance to ask how we will arrange check-out. This is because the barrier only works from 8am onwards due to night-time rest.

What time can we arrive?

You generally cannot check in before 2:00 PM (for rental accommodations, this is 3:00 PM). This allows us enough time to mow, clean if necessary, and carry out any other maintenance. Our reception is open daily until 5:00 PM. If you expect to arrive later than 5:00 PM, please let us know so we can take it into account. If you arrive after the reception has closed, you can call the number posted at the reception. Please note: you cannot enter the site later than 11:00 PM, as the barriers will no longer open.

What time do we have to leave?

On the day of your departure, you must check out before 11:00 am. If you wish to leave later, this is sometimes possible (if your pitch is not rented on the same day), but for this we charge €10 for the use of the facilities. You may then stay until 5 pm.

Do you want to leave before 9:00 am in the morning? This is also possible, just come to reception the day before to check out.

Facilities & opening hours

Are there opening hours for the toilet block or laundry?

No, the toilet block and laundrette are accessible 24 hours a day.

Can I charge my electric car at the campsite?

Yes, you can. At the parking lot by the entrance of the campsite, we have three charging stations, each for two cars. In total, six cars can charge at the same time.

Can we reserve a bicycle before we arrive?

At the campsite, we rent out a few adult bicycles (both electric and non-electric). It is possible to reserve these in advance. The costs are:

• Non-electric bicycle: €12.50 per day and €50.00 per week;
• Electric bicycle: €29.50 per day and €135.00 per week.

Do you provide a supermarket at the campsite?

No, we are too small to run a real shop. In the morning, however, our bakery department in the main building is open. There, we freshly bake the rolls and croissants for you. On weekends and holidays, we always bake enough anyway and you can just walk in and see what looks delicious. During low season, we may ask you to place your order in advance so that we don't end up with a huge stock of bread. We consider such a waste of food.

We also provide a small assortment of sandwich fillings, coffee/tea, juices and hygiene items in the main building.

Is it possible to rent a refrigerator?

At our campsite, it is not possible to rent a refrigerator. However, it is possible to rent one from a company nearby and have it delivered to the campsite and picked up afterwards. Many guests have already done this!

When will the animation team be there?

Usually, there are activities during Easter, the May holiday, Ascension, Pentecost, and most weeks of the summer holidays.

Where is the nearest supermarket?

In Cadzand-Bad (6 km) you'll find a small Spar-supermarket. You can go there for a simple evening meal as well. Do you prefer a bigger supermarket? You'll find one in Breskens and Oostburg (both 7 km). In Breskens you'll find a Jumbo, in Oostburg an Aldi, a Lidl, Jumbo and an Albert Heijn.

Reservation & payment

Can I cancel the booking?

Within 24 hours of booking, you can cancel your reservation free of charge. After that, we apply the RECRON conditions regarding cancellations. This means that in case of cancellation, the following fees apply:

• Cancellation more than three months before the start date: 15% of the agreed price;
• Cancellation between three and two months before the start date: 50% of the agreed price;
• Cancellation between two and one month before the start date: 75% of the agreed price;

You can also take out a cancellation insurance policy through us within 7 days of booking. In the event that something unfortunate happens, the conditions of the cancellation insurance will apply.

(In extreme situations, such as the COVID-19 crisis in 2020, International reserves the right to deviate from the RECRON conditions.)

Shall I print my reservation confirmation?

Not neccesarily. It is sufficient if you tell us your last name. It can sometimes happen that it is useful to also know your reservation number, but this hardly happens.

Other

Can I go out for diner nearby?

Sure! Of course we do  have our own take away amd our own pancake restaurant. But there are many restaurants in the surrounding area. Look on our page 'environment' under 'surrounding area' for our personal advice. 

Can I have freeze elements frozen?

Yes you can. We have several freeze elements in stock to borrow. However, should the weather be fine, we will only hand out 3 elements per family and gone=gone. You can also bring your own and have them frozen.

Do you separate rubbish?

Yes, we do. We have containers for glass, paper, plastic, wood, rubble, organic waste, and general waste.

The large container (20 m³) is for green waste. It is this large because of garden trimmings. Please do not put any (plastic) bags in this container. At the back right, you will find a compactor container with two small bin flaps. This is the container for general waste.

Batteries and other small hazardous waste can be handed in at the reception.

How far is the campsite from the beach?

Camping de Meulinge is 2 km from the beach. You can walk there, which takes about 20 to 30 minutes depending on your group. There are several large parking lots at the beach, so going by car is also possible. But the nicest way to get to the beach is by bike! You can get there in 5 minutes.

Is grilling on the camping?

Yes, you can barbecue at the campsite, but please note the following:

Are you using a barbecue with coals? Keep a bucket of water handy for safety and please make sure our grass is not damaged.

Are you using an electric barbecue? Almost all pitches have 10-amp electricity. Most electric barbecues and grills require 2000 watts, so it's OK. But make sure all other appliances are switched off.

Finally, we remind you that it must be quiet on the campsite at 11pm. Having a barbecue together is great fun and part of camping. But please bear in mind that around 19.00 or 20.00 hrs, children are already going to bed. Sometimes a group barbecue gets a bit too cosy and other guests are bothered. We ask you to respect the silence of 23.00h (at the latest). After all, we are all staying together on the campsite.

Is there any public transport going to the campsite?

That is possible, but to be honest, it’s quite complicated. In Zeeuws Vlaanderen, the regular bus service unfortunately no longer exists—it has been cut. You can use the “haltetaxi,” but you need to book it one and a half hours in advance by calling 088 235 8000. You then wait at the agreed time at the bus stop and ask to be taken to Nieuwvliet. The bus stop is about a 300-meter walk from the campsite. To book the haltetaxi, you need a pass number. You can use the campsite’s pass number: 44 000 3164. The haltetaxi costs the same as a regular bus fare. Please note that payment must be made in cash.

If you are traveling by train toward Zeeuws Vlaanderen, get off at Vlissingen station. From there, you can directly connect to the ferry to Breskens. From Breskens, you can then take the haltetaxi to Nieuwvliet village. Unfortunately, there is no bus connection from Knokke-Heist station.

What is there to do in the area?

In the surroundings of the campsite there is a lot to do! Look at the website under environment.
