Your Stay Options: Kamperen vs. Accommodaties
Choosing the right stay starts with understanding the two core options you’ll see in the booking widget: Kamperen (camping pitches) and Accommodaties (rental units).
Quick definitions
- Kamperen (Camping Pitches): Reserve a designated pitch and bring your own tent, caravan, or motorhome. You’ll sleep among the dunes with the sea just one dune away.
- Accommodaties (Rental Units): Choose from various ready-to-stay accommodations in nature—no gear required, just arrive and unwind.
What both options share
- Beach proximity: The beach lies one dune away—about 100 steps—so you can walk from your pitch or accommodation straight onto the sand.
- Wellness & fitness: Unwind in the Wellness Dome with sauna, massage, beauty, and yoga. You can always use the fitness and sauna during your stay.
- Energizing activities: Join bootcamps, try watersport, or play Dunegolf.
- Family-friendly fun: Kids love the recreation program and the Zep de Zeemeeuw activities.
- Food & essentials: Dine at Restaurant Gestrand in the heart of the dunes (with a big playground) and pick up groceries at the on-site SPAR Supermarket.
- Connectivity: Wi‑Fi is available for guests.
