Grey-Water & Cassette Care: Motorhome Service Tips at Camping Aquarius

Planning a coastal escape in your motorhome is easier when you know exactly how to handle waste and water on site. This guide to grey-water and cassette care at Camping Aquarius explains what facilities are available, how to use them efficiently, and which pitch categories best fit self-contained touring setups—so you can spend more time enjoying Sant Pere Pescador’s endless beach and less time worrying about logistics.

Located directly on the long sandy shore of the Bay of Roses and within a protected natural reserve, Camping Aquarius blends seaside relaxation with practical comforts for touring guests. While the campsite provides dedicated solutions for grey-water and cassette-toilet disposal, it does not operate a full motorhome service station—making a little pre‑planning worthwhile.

Using the grey-water drain: step-by-step

Follow this simple, low-mess routine for a smooth experience:

1. Prepare your hose and fittings. Keep a dedicated, clearly labeled hose for grey water to avoid cross‑contamination.
2. Position and secure. Park so your outlet aligns safely with the drain. Engage your handbrake and use chocks if needed.
3. Open valves slowly. Start with a partial flow to prevent splashing, then increase to full flow.
4. Flush through. When empty, run a short rinse through the grey-water system if your setup allows.
5. Clean up. Wipe any drips, coil hoses neatly, and close all valves before moving off.

Good practice: Use biodegradable, campsite-friendly detergents to keep grey-water residues as gentle on the environment as possible.

Emptying your cassette toilet: a hygiene‑first routine

A careful approach keeps everything clean, quick, and odor-controlled:

1. Gear up. Wear disposable gloves; carry paper towels and a small spray bottle of mild cleaner.
2. Use the dedicated point. Only empty cassettes at the designated chemical toilet stations on site.
3. Empty slowly. Vent the cassette and pour at a controlled pace to avoid splashes.
4. Rinse thoroughly. Use the provided rinse facility (if available at the station) or clean water you’ve brought for this purpose.
5. Chemical dosing. Refill with a campsite-appropriate toilet additive as directed by the product. Avoid flushing wipes or sanitary items—these don’t break down and can block systems.
6. Sanitize and store. Clean the cassette exterior, secure seals, and stow it upright and ventilated according to the manufacturer’s guidance.

Fresh water and hook-ups: how to plan your stay

Because there is no full motorhome service station on site, think about fresh water ahead of time:

• Book a hook-up pitch: If on-pitch connections are important, choose A+ or B+. These categories include both fresh-water and wastewater hook-ups, simplifying daily routines.
• Match amperage to your usage: All touring pitches offer 6 A or 16 A electricity. Select the level that aligns with your appliances and seasonal needs.
• Ask at reception: The team will advise on the best pitch for your unit and habits, in multiple languages.

Choosing the right pitch for your motorhome

Consider space, connections, and vehicle type:

• Category A (≈100–110 m²): Generous size; 6 A/16 A electricity.
• Category A+ (≈100–110 m²): Same size, plus fresh-water and wastewater hook-ups; 6 A/16 A electricity.
• Category B+ (≈70–85 m²): More compact with fresh-water and wastewater hook-ups; 6 A/16 A electricity.
• Twin-axle caravans accepted: Touring setups with twin axles are welcome.
• Parking preferences: Cars are permitted on standard pitches; car-free pitches are also available if you prefer a vehicle‑free zone.

Smart routines to minimize odors and conserve resources

Adopt these habits for a cleaner, easier stay:

• Routine rinses: Periodically rinse grey-water pipes to reduce buildup and odors.
• Ventilation: Allow brief ventilation of the toilet compartment (away from neighbors) after servicing.

• Stagger servicing times: Aim for off-peak hours to reduce wait times at disposal points.

Useful on-site extras for touring guests
