Quick pitch overview

How to prepare your twin‑axle caravan for arrival

A few thoughtful steps before you travel will make manoeuvring and set‑up simpler.

Choose the right pitch for your rig and routine

• Confort pitches are eligible for ACSI, ADAC, and MUNDO CAMPISTA special rates (not applicable to Basic or Premium Plus with private bathroom).
• Premium Plus delivers convenience with a private bathroom, helpful for families or longer stays.
• Decide whether you prefer grass (comfortable underfoot) or sand (often drains quickly) surfaces.

Plan your route and check-in

• Follow the AP‑7/E15 then N‑11 and C‑260 toward Roses; the campsite is signposted before town.
• Have your self‑check‑in details handy to streamline arrival.
• If you’ll need language support, reception can help in German, English, Spanish, and French.

Pack for easy hook‑ups and levelling

• Bring a safely rated mains cable, adapters if needed, and hose for on‑pitch water.
• Pack levelling ramps and chocks—twin‑axle caravans level best with a measured approach on both axles.
• Keep toilet chemicals ready; there’s an automated cassette‑emptying machine on site for hygienic disposal.

Consider seasonal and pet details

• Dogs are not allowed from 29 June to 23 August; they’re welcome outside these dates.
• The pool and beach bar open 1 April at 10 a.m.—handy if you plan an early‑season stay.

Parking and setting up your twin‑axle caravan on site

Follow this step‑by‑step process for a calm, controlled set‑up.

1. Arrival and orientation

   • Use self‑check‑in or visit reception. Confirm your pitch category and surface type.
   • Review the Interactive Map for access routes and facilities you’ll use most (sanitary blocks, pools, shop).

2. Approach and positioning

   • Take a wide, deliberate approach—the longer wheelbase of twin‑axle caravans benefits from gentle, sweeping turns.
   • If you use a motor mover, set it up early and appoint a spotter to guide you.
   • Align so that water, wastewater, and electricity points are within easy reach.

3. Levelling and stability

   • Level across both axles with ramps; add chocks to secure wheels.
   • Unhitch only once you’re stable and level.

4. Connect essentials

   • Hook up to 16 A electricity; test trip protection before powering appliances.
   • Connect on‑pitch water and route wastewater to the drainage point.
   • Log in to Wi‑Fi (15 free minutes per day; extend with a paid option as needed).

5. Sanitary and service points

   • Use the automated cassette‑emptying machine for chemical toilets.
   • A motorhome service point is available for wastewater emptying and fresh‑water refills when required.

6. Finishing touches

   • Set up your awning and outdoor area, observing clearances on neighbouring pitches.
   • If you prefer a vehicle‑free space, ask about car‑free pitches.

Site rules and practicalities that matter for bigger rigs
