Frequently asked questions

Buitengast is at Persingensestraat 13, 6575 JA Persingen, in the Ooijpolder. It is about a 15-minute bike ride to the Nijmegen Four Days Marches start. Phone 024 350 43 94, email welkom@buitengast.nl.

Arrival is possible on Saturday, Sunday or Monday between 09:00 and 18:00. Please check in at reception so we can verify your reservation. Departure is Friday or Saturday. Friday has no fixed time; on Saturday the site must be vacated by 12:00.

There are plenty of toilets and showers. Water points are available around the field; unlimited water is available at reception. Wifi is only around the house/reception, not guaranteed across the field. Waste facilities are present. Motorhomes can empty a cassette toilet; this is not a full motorhome service station.

Buitengast is set up for walkers, not party groups. It is quiet from 22:00 to 06:00. Open fires are not allowed; gas barbecues are, if used safely and without nuisance. Visitors report to reception. Keep at least 4 metres of clear access for emergency services.

No. Pets are not allowed at Buitengast. Assistance dogs follow a separate, legally correct exception process; please contact us.

Motorhome, caravan, folding trailer, large tent, or small tent up to 2 × 2 metres. A folding trailer has the same price and pitch use as a caravan, motorhome or large tent: one full pitch. A small tent uses half a pitch.

A small tent is maximum 2 × 2 metres. Three or more guests are not blocked, but you will see a clear warning that they probably will not fit. You can switch to a large tent or confirm that your tent really stays within 2 × 2 metres.

Yes, while that category has space. Bring at least 25 metres of extension cable. We use regular 220V plugs, not blue camping connectors. Appliances over 650 watts are not allowed. Charging electric cars is not allowed, including via a pitch supply. Two small tents can share one hook-up on site; we arrange that locally. In the booking, electricity is always charged as a full connection (€60.00).

Yes, book the number of parking spots you need. Cars are not parked at the tent, caravan, folding trailer or motorhome; they go to the lot at the back of the yard. Motorhome guests can also book a car parking spot. Daily in-and-out driving is by arrangement with the manager.

Yes. The dinner package is a shared three-course meal Monday to Thursday, starting at 17:30, usually finished around 19:00. Choose the number of participants when booking. Seasonal capacity is 120. Please add diet needs and allergies in the booking, or later via the contact form.

Yes. There are plenty of bikes, but reserving in advance is strongly recommended. Choose the number of bikes and rental days. The price is calculated automatically (€15.00 per bike per day). On-site extras are possible while stock lasts. Collect and return at reception during opening hours. Deposit is €50.00 per bike, paid at collection, not in the online camping payment. If a bike is missing, the excess is €150.00 with the original key, or €295.00 without the key.
