Motorhome Service Station: Empty, Refill, and Wash Without Leaving Les Medes

Turnaround day doesn’t have to derail your holiday. At Camping Les Medes, our Motorhome Service Station and on‑site amenities make it easy to empty waste, refill on‑pitch, and wash your vehicle without leaving the campsite. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to use the facilities efficiently, what’s available where, and practical tips to keep your setup clean, compliant, and ready for your next adventure.

Everything you need in one place

Our setup is designed so motorhome guests can handle essential tasks quickly and correctly. Here’s what you’ll find on site:

• Dedicated waste‑disposal area for motorhomes
• Adjacent self‑service car‑wash point
• Chemical‑toilet disposal (WC chemists) in the sanitary blocks
• On‑pitch hookups: all 170 pitches have a CEE electricity connection (6 A or 10 A); 155 of 170 also include their own water and waste connections
• Laundry: washing machines and tumble‑dryers
• Heated, modern sanitary blocks with accessible cabins and baby areas
• Security and safety: selected areas under video surveillance; an on‑site AED (defibrillator)
• EV charging point (for electric vehicles)

Motorhome waste‑disposal area

A dedicated area on the grounds allows you to dispose of motorhome wastewater properly. This is the place for your grey‑water tank and any fixed black‑water systems that are designed for a drive‑over drain.

Self‑service car‑wash point

Right next to the waste area, the car‑wash point helps you remove salt, dust, and grime before they become long‑term maintenance issues. It’s self‑service, so you can take your time and work methodically.

WC chemists for cassettes

For portable toilet cassettes and chemicals, use the WC chemists stations located in the sanitary facilities. These purpose‑built points are designed for safe, hygienic disposal and rinsing.

On‑pitch power, water, and waste

Every pitch has a CEE electricity hook‑up (6 A or 10 A). If you book one of the 155 pitches with water and waste, you can refill and drain directly at your plot—ideal for longer stays and effortless daily routines.

Laundry and wash‑up support

The sanitary buildings are equipped with washing machines and tumble‑dryers, so bedding, towels, and soft furnishings are easy to refresh. Buildings are heated in colder months, and both blocks include fully accessible facilities.

Security and peace of mind

Selected access points and facilities are video‑surveilled to protect guests, staff, and property, and the site is equipped with an AED for emergencies.

Step‑by‑step: How to use the Motorhome Service Station

Follow this simple sequence to reset your motorhome swiftly and neatly.

1. Stage your gear

   • Put on gloves and have your hoses, caps, and cleaning supplies ready.
   • Keep your fresh‑water items separate from waste equipment to avoid cross‑contamination.

2. Empty grey water

   • Drive to the motorhome waste‑disposal area.
   • Align your outlet over the drain and empty slowly to prevent splashing.

3. Handle black water correctly

   • If you use a cassette, take it to the WC chemists in the sanitary blocks.
   • Rinse thoroughly and secure all seals before returning to your unit.

4. Refill and reconnect on‑pitch

   • If your pitch is one of the 155 with water and waste, refill fresh water and check your drain connection once you’re parked.
   • Verify your CEE electricity hook‑up (6 A or 10 A) is firmly seated and protected from moisture.

5. Wash your vehicle

   • Move to the self‑service car‑wash point and work top‑down to avoid re‑soiling cleaned panels.
   • Pay attention to windows, mirrors, lights, and roof fittings.

6. Freshen soft goods

   • Use the washing machines and dryers to reset towels, bedding, and cloths while you relax on site.

7. Final checks

   • Confirm caps and valves are closed, hoses are stowed, and your pitch is tidy.
   • Test taps and appliances to ensure good flow and proper drainage.

Practical tips for a smoother, greener service stop

• Use biodegradable toilet chemicals to reduce environmental impact.
• Keep color‑coded hoses: one set for fresh water, another for waste.
• Ventilate tanks after emptying to minimize odors and residue.
• Conserve water when washing your vehicle—short, efficient rinses are effective and considerate.
• Inspect seals and joints regularly; a few seconds now prevents leaks later.
• Time your service when it’s less busy for faster turnaround.

Sustainability at Les Medes

Camping Les Medes operates under an ISO 14001 environmental‑management system and is advancing renewable energy on site. In January 2023, the campsite installed 270 photovoltaic panels expected to generate about 130,000 kWh per year—roughly 25–30% of electricity demand—with goals to reach 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. Using the on‑site Motorhome Service Station and on‑pitch utilities helps minimize extra trips and supports a lower‑impact stay.
