Facilities

What is Green Key?

Green Key is a voluntary eco-certification programme for hotels, hostels, campsites, holiday parks, small accommodations, conference centres, attractions and restaurants.

Green Key certification is based on compliance with strict, internationally recognised criteria in the areas of environmental management (water, energy, waste, cleaning, etc.) and sustainability education (staff, guests, suppliers, etc.).

Compliance with these criteria is confirmed through a rigorous application process and independently verified by a third party through regular on-site audits. The certification is valid for one year at a time.

Currently, more than 9,000 establishments in over 90 countries are Green Key certified.

Green Key is endorsed by various institutional partners, international hotel chains and tour operators, and collaborates with a range of online partners.

The Green Key programme is managed by the international non-profit organisation Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and its national member organisations.

For more information, please visit the Green Key website at www.greenkey.global or contact Green Key by email at info@fee.global.

Accessibility facilities

Camping Gentele has spacious paths and accessible sanitary facilities with a toilet, grab rails and an adapted shower. A quiet, contactless arrival is possible, and we use clear information and pictograms. Personal assistance is available, and assistance dogs are always welcome at no extra charge. As the campsite is located in a natural outdoor environment, accessibility may depend on the ground conditions and the weather. We therefore recommend contacting us before booking so that we can choose a suitable pitch together.

Is there WiFi at the campsite?

Yes, free Wi-Fi is available on site. Both the username and password are your personal PIN code, which you receive after booking.

Is there a laundromat?

Yes, we have a modern washing machine and dryer on site. Washing costs €5, drying €0.50 per 10 minutes.

How many amps of current are supplied?

All pitches for motorhomes and caravans have a 10 A or 16 A electricity connection. It is not possible to reserve a pitch without electricity. The price includes 5 kWh per day. If you use more, you can purchase an additional 5 kWh for £2.50.

The tent pitches are not equipped with electricity. If you would like electricity at your tent, it is better to reserve a pitch for a motorhome or caravan.

Can I barbecue?

Barbecuing is permitted on paved surfaces, as long as you do not damage the surface and take consideration of your neighbours. Charcoal barbecues are not permitted. Only gas barbecues are allowed.

Can I use a ground mat?

To protect the grass, we ask that breathable ground sheets are used. Waterproof sheets are not allowed.

Do I have to pay for showers?
