Quick Answer: Does Camping Aquarius have an EV charging station?

Why on-site EV charging at Camping Aquarius matters

- Beach time maximised: Plug in, then enjoy direct access to a wide sandy beach via the gently rolling dunes.
- Family-friendly facilities: Keep everyone happy while you charge with a water playground (with slides), a supervised indoor play centre, a Teens Club, mini-golf, and more.
- Sustainability in action: Choosing an EV-friendly campsite reduces emissions from your holiday travel.
Where and how to charge on site
The charging point is located on the campsite. For exact directions, access details and current usage information, ask at Reception when you arrive. Staff can assist in Dutch, English, French, German and Spanish.
A typical, hassle-free approach:
- Check in at Reception and request guidance for the EV charger (activation and any usage procedures).
- Park as instructed, connect your vehicle, and verify that charging has started.

Smart charging tips for a seamless stay
Use these widely accepted EV best practices to keep charging easy and considerate:
- Bring your own cable and any adapters your car requires for AC charging. Campsite chargers typically expect drivers to use their own cable.
- Top up rather than empty-to-full: Partial charges are faster and free up the point for others sooner.
- Set a target state of charge (for example, 70–80%) so your session ends automatically and you can move your car promptly.
- Precondition while plugged in: If your vehicle supports it, cool or heat the cabin from shore power before departure.
- Mind the cable: Keep it tidy and out of walkways.
- Share fairly: Move your car when finished—charging bays are not parking spaces.
- Ask Reception about activation and usage: Procedures vary by site; staff will confirm how to start/stop a session.
EV-friendly facilities and comforts that elevate your charge stop
- Food & drink: A pleasant restaurant and bar with a chill-out terrace, a takeaway option, and the beachside "Marlin" Beachbar.
- Daily essentials: On-site supermarket for bread and basics.
- Wellness and activity: Yoga, fitness classes, an outdoor fitness area, and live music (twice weekly in high season, once weekly in low season).
- Family-first amenities: Elegant, fully equipped sanitary blocks—including accessible facilities, family cabins with showers and washbasins, underfloor heating in one block, baths for children, and baby-friendly fittings.
- Easy beach access for all: A specially designed access point lets guests with reduced mobility reach the water safely.
These perks make it simple to plug in and then get back to what you came for: a relaxed, beachfront holiday in the Bay of Roses.
