Power Up Without Paying Extra: Understanding the 16 A Hook-Up Included in Every Pitch

If you are planning a stay on a camping pitch, one question often comes up before arrival: is the 16 A electricity hook-up included, or will it cost extra? At Camping & Spa L’Océan, the answer is simple: electricity, including the 16 A hook-up, is already included in the basic camping pitch price. That means no extra fee for connecting to power on your pitch, and no unpleasant surprise when you check in.

This practical guide explains exactly what the 16 A hook-up included in every pitch means, what equipment you should bring, and how to prepare for a smooth arrival whether you are travelling with a tent, caravan, motorhome, or van. You will also find useful details about pitch facilities, nearby services, and a few simple tips to make your camping stay more comfortable from the moment you set up.

What does the 16 A hook-up included in every pitch mean?

A 16 A hook-up is the electrical connection available on each pitch. In practical terms, it allows guests to connect to the campsite power supply and use everyday camping equipment that requires electricity.

At Camping & Spa L’Océan, all pitches have access to 16 A electric sockets using European standards, and this access is already covered by the basic pitch price.

Direct answer

Yes, the 16 A electricity hook-up is included in the basic price of every camping pitch. No additional fee applies.

This applies to the campsite's pitches, including:

That inclusion makes budgeting easier. When you book your pitch, electricity is already part of the base offer.

What type of pitches include electricity?

The campsite offers 180 pitches in a protected natural setting. These pitches are described as semi-shaded or shaded, clearly marked out, and divided between:

Whether you prefer a tent holiday under the pines or a stay with a caravan or motorhome, the electrical connection is part of the pitch setup.

Tent pitches

The tent pitches are located in beautifully delimited areas and are all equipped with electricity. They are shaded or semi-shaded, offering a classic camping experience with the added convenience of power on site.

Motorhome and caravan pitches

The motorhome & caravan pitches are semi-stabilised and also equipped for electrical connection. A service station is available for emptying and/or refilling water, which is particularly useful for motorhome travellers.

What do you need to bring to use the 16 A hook-up?

Although the power connection is included, guests need to arrive with the right equipment to use it properly.

You should bring:

The sockets follow European standards, so the correct adaptor is essential if your equipment uses a different plug type. The campsite also specifies that the 25 m minimum extension lead is required and is not provided.

Quick checklist before departure

Before leaving for your holiday, make sure you pack:

  1. European adaptor
  2. 25 m extension cable minimum
  3. Your usual low-consumption camping electrical equipment
  4. A simple storage bag or reel to keep your cable tidy

For tent pitches and motorhome or caravan pitches alike, arriving with these two items will save time and help you settle in quickly.

Why this matters for your holiday budget

Extra campsite charges can quickly complicate travel planning. Knowing that the 16 A hook-up included in every pitch is part of the basic rate gives you clearer visibility on the cost of your stay.

The campsite brochure also confirms that the price for 2 people is with electricity. That clarity is particularly helpful for guests comparing accommodation options, estimating daily spend, or preparing a longer stay.

In short, this setup offers three clear advantages:

What facilities are available near the pitches?

Electricity is only one part of a comfortable camping stay. The pitch area also gives guests access to practical on-site facilities.

Sanitary facilities

The campsite has 2 fully equipped toilet blocks with:

In low season, 1 toilet block is open. In high season, 2 toilet blocks are accessible.

The sanitary facilities are cleaned non-stop from 7 am to 11 pm in July and August, and several times a day in low season.

Water points

Water points and sanitary facilities are nearby, which makes day-to-day life on a pitch much easier, especially for families and longer stays.

Parking on the pitch

You can park your car on your campsite pitch, with 1 vehicle per pitch only.

Campervan services

There is a reception area and sani-station for campervans, as well as a service station for motorhomes for emptying and/or refilling water.

Can you charge an electric or hybrid vehicle on the pitch?

No. For safety reasons, the campsite regulations state that it is forbidden to recharge the battery of an electric or hybrid vehicle on the campsite.

This is an important point to know before arrival. The 16 A hook-up is intended for standard camping use, not vehicle charging.

What is included with the pitch beyond electricity?

For certain pitch offers, the campsite states that prices include:

If you are comparing pitch types, it can also be useful to look at the dedicated pages for tent pitches and motorhome & caravan pitches, as each page highlights practical details related to that style of stay.

Practical arrival tips for using your 16 A hook-up smoothly

A little preparation can make your first hour on site much easier. Here are a few simple tips to help you make the most of the 16 A hook-up included in every pitch.

1. Pack your adaptor where you can reach it quickly

After a long journey, nobody wants to unpack the whole car just to find one small electrical accessory. Keep your European adaptor in an easy-to-access bag.

2. Check your extension cable length before departure

The campsite asks for a minimum 25 m extension cable. Bringing a shorter cable may make setup more difficult.

3. Test your equipment at home

Before your trip, check that your cable, adaptor, and appliances are in good working order. A quick test can help avoid unnecessary frustration on arrival.

4. Think about your real electricity needs

In camping, convenience matters most when it is practical. Consider what you genuinely need to power during your stay, such as lighting, charging devices, or other standard camping equipment.

It is worth checking information linked to your stay, such as:

Useful extras available on site

If you want a little extra comfort during your stay on a pitch, some optional services are available:

These can be especially useful if you want to make your pitch setup more convenient without moving into a rental accommodation.
