Partners in the Waves: How Camping de Lakens & Surfana Created the Family Camp Zone
Looking for a family holiday that feels relaxed, beachy, and easy to enjoy together? Surfana Family Camp brings exactly that atmosphere to Camping de Lakens, giving families a dedicated place to stay directly behind the last dune, just a few steps from the shoreline. For parents who want nature, comfort, and a laid-back beach lifestyle in one destination, this family camp zone offers a clear answer.
What makes it stand out is the collaboration behind it. Camping de Lakens and Surfana run Surfana Family Camp together, combining the campsite’s unique dune-and-beach location with Surfana’s long-standing feel for an unforced beach lifestyle. In this article, you will learn what Surfana Family Camp is, where it is located, why the partnership works, and what families can expect from a stay in this distinctive part of Camping de Lakens.
What Is Surfana Family Camp?
Surfana Family Camp is a dedicated section of Camping de Lakens designed for families, families with friends, and couples with children who want a carefree beach holiday with a relaxed atmosphere.
It is described as a place where guests can enjoy:
- A relaxed beach vibe
- A stay in the dunes, directly by the beach
- Time together with family or friends with kids
- A holiday shaped by a natural, informal surf-minded atmosphere
The concept is simple but powerful: create a family-focused place where the setting does a lot of the work. When your accommodation is close to the sea, surrounded by dunes, and built around an easygoing outdoor rhythm, daily holiday life becomes much simpler.
That is one reason Surfana Family Camp appeals to more and more families visiting Camping de Lakens.
Where Is Surfana Family Camp Located?
Surfana Family Camp is located on the part of Camping de Lakens that lies behind the final dune, which is the area closest to the sea and beach.
That location matters. It means families stay in a part of the campsite where the coastal setting is not just nearby, but central to the whole experience. Instead of planning your day around getting to the beach, the beach is already part of your surroundings.
Why this location is so important
A family holiday often works best when logistics stay simple. A location close to the shoreline can help families:
- Move easily between accommodation and beach
- Spend more time outdoors
- Keep the day flexible for children
- Enjoy a stronger sense of space and freedom
At Camping de Lakens, that feeling is reinforced by the wider setting in the coastal dunes near Bloemendaal aan Zee, with both the North Sea beach and the protected dunes of Nationaal Park Zuid-Kennemerland within about 100 steps.
Why Camping de Lakens and Surfana Are a Strong Match
The partnership between Camping de Lakens and Surfana feels natural because both sides contribute something essential to the guest experience.
Camping de Lakens brings the place
Camping de Lakens presents itself as “the beach campsite of the Netherlands”. Its identity is built around sleeping in the dunes, being close to the sea, and combining outdoor energy with relaxation.
Guests at Camping de Lakens can choose from:
- Camping pitches
- Fixed accommodations
- Facilities and experiences linked to active and restorative stays
The campsite also offers a broader holiday setting with features such as:
- Bootcamp sessions in the on-site gym
- Yoga classes
- A massage in the Wellnessdome
- Access to the sauna
This makes Camping de Lakens more than a standard campsite. It is a destination shaped by beach life, nature, activity, and downtime.
Surfana brings the atmosphere
Surfana’s role in Surfana Family Camp centers on experience and atmosphere. The Surfana crew is described as knowing exactly what an unforced beach lifestyle means through years of experience.
That contribution matters because family holidays are not only about where you sleep. They are also about how a place feels. The collaboration helps shape a setting that is:
- Welcoming
- Informal
- Outdoor-oriented
- Family-friendly
- Rooted in a beach mindset
Together, Camping de Lakens and Surfana turn a beautiful coastal location into a more clearly defined family holiday experience.
What the Partnership Brings to Families
When a campsite and a beach-lifestyle partner work together well, the result is often greater clarity for guests. Families know what kind of stay to expect, and the environment is tailored more intentionally around that promise.
For Surfana Family Camp, that translates into several clear benefits.
1. A dedicated family-focused zone
Rather than being just another place to stay, Surfana Family Camp is presented as a specific part of the campsite with its own identity. That matters for families who want to feel they are in a setting designed with them in mind.
2. A beach holiday with a clear atmosphere
Many families want more than proximity to the coast. They want a holiday that actually feels connected to the beach from morning to evening. Surfana Family Camp delivers that through its location, tone, and surf-minded character.
3. Comfortable accommodation options
Guests can stay in:
- Comfortable Safari Tents
- (Lotus) Bell Tents
The Surfana Family Camp page also highlights these accommodation options:
- Safaritent 3-4 personen
- Safaritent 3-6 personen
This makes the concept accessible to different family setups while keeping the style of the stay aligned with the outdoor, beach-oriented setting.
4. Active options for children
During summer, kids can join the activities of the summer camp. This adds another family-friendly layer to the experience and supports the idea of a holiday that combines relaxation for parents with memorable activities for children.
5. A carefree holiday feel
The family camp is described as a place for a carefree holiday in a top location in the Netherlands. That promise is especially relevant for families, because ease and atmosphere often determine whether a holiday truly feels restful.
What Makes Surfana Family Camp Different?
The strongest answer is also the simplest one: Surfana Family Camp combines a prime beachside location with a distinct family-oriented beach lifestyle atmosphere.
Here is that difference at a glance:
| Feature | What it means for guests |
|---|---|
| Behind the last dune | Families stay in the part of Camping de Lakens closest to the sea and beach |
| Run together with Surfana | The stay is shaped by a clear beach-lifestyle vision |
| Family-focused setup | The zone is aimed at families and guests with children |
| Dune setting | The surroundings feel natural, open, and closely connected to the coast |
| Accommodation options | Guests can stay in Safari Tents or (Lotus) Bell Tents |

For travellers comparing coastal stays, this combination is important. Plenty of places offer access to the beach. Fewer create a family zone where the location, accommodation, and atmosphere all support the same holiday style.
