Your 48-hour countdown to a smooth 10:00 mobile-home checkout

A simple time-based plan makes all the difference. Here’s how to structure the final 48 hours.

48–24 hours before departure

• Book your inventory slot: Visit reception and schedule your 08:00–10:00 inventory appointment. This must be done no later than the day before you leave.
• Map your morning timing: Work backward from your chosen slot to plan final cleaning, showering, breakfast, and loading the car.
• Use the on-site launderette if needed: Washing machines cost €5 per token and tumble dryers €3.50 per token; detergent is not included. Taking care of laundry early keeps departure day light.
• Review campsite rules that can impact checkout: For example, only electric and gas barbecues are permitted; wood or charcoal are strictly prohibited. Staying aligned with the rules helps avoid last-minute issues.

The day before departure

• Confirm your inventory appointment time at reception and plan to be present at your mobile home during the agreed window.
• Arrange early-departure formalities (if applicable): If you plan to leave before reception opens, complete all administrative formalities with reception the day before.
• Begin a thorough pre-clean: Starting early makes the final sweep quick and effective.
• Organize luggage: Pre-pack non-essentials and stage bags to speed up loading in the morning.

Departure morning (before 08:00)

• Final clean: Give yourself ample time so you’re ready before your inventory slot. Use the cleaning checklist below to help ensure your rental is returned perfectly clean.
• Load the car smartly: Keep check-in documents and valuables accessible so you’re not searching during the inventory.

08:00–10:00 — Inventory and checkout

• Be at your mobile home for the appointment: Walk through the inventory with the staff member.
• Hand back keys and finalize: Once the departure inventory is completed, your security deposit is returned.
• Exit by 10:00: Ensure you vacate the mobile home by 10:00 so the team can prepare for the next guests.
