RECRON Rules Demystified: Understanding Your Cancellation & Modification Options
If you’re planning a beach escape, clarity on cancellation and change terms can make all the difference. At Camping de Lakens, bookings follow the RECRON rules—industry-standard conditions used across Dutch holiday parks and campsites. This guide explains what RECRON rules mean for your stay, how cancellations and modifications are handled, which costs may apply, and the best steps to take if your plans shift.
What are RECRON rules?
RECRON rules are standardized terms from the Dutch recreation sector designed to ensure clear, fair agreements between guests and accommodation providers. They outline how bookings, cancellations, and changes are handled, helping both sides know what to expect.
- At Camping de Lakens, the RECRON terms apply to camping pitches, accommodations, and season places.
- These terms also govern cancellations and modifications for your stay.
- You can review the current conditions anytime on the official Terms & Camping Rules page: https://www.campingdelakens.nl/voorwaarden
Cancellations at Camping de Lakens: how they work
The core principle
- Cancellations are processed according to the RECRON conditions.
- A percentage of the booking amount is charged when you cancel, and that percentage increases the closer you get to your arrival date.
- The easiest way to proceed is to contact reception; the team will guide you through the next steps.
How to cancel, step by step
- Review the RECRON conditions: https://www.campingdelakens.nl/voorwaarden
- Contact the reception to report your cancellation and discuss options.
- Keep an eye on your reservation details in your “Mijn de Lakens” account and the Camping de Lakens App.
Tip: Acting early usually gives you more flexibility under RECRON schedules.
Is last-minute cancellation possible?
Yes, but the RECRON schedule applies—fees are higher closer to arrival. For the smoothest experience, get in touch with reception as soon as your plans change.
Modifying your booking under RECRON
Changes to a confirmed booking (such as dates, duration, or pitch type) are handled under the RECRON rules. Depending on the nature and timing of the change, a modification may be treated in part like a cancellation. The reception team can advise on the best path forward for your situation.
Managing your reservation
- Use your “Mijn de Lakens” account and the Camping de Lakens App to manage reservation details and book facilities.
- For material changes (dates, length of stay, accommodation type), contact reception for tailored guidance under RECRON.
Choosing a specific camping pitch
- Prefer a certain spot? Select the “Kampeerplaats met voorkeur” option when booking and click “Kies je plaats.”
- A preference fee of €25,00 applies when you choose a specific pitch or accommodation.
Adding extra guests
- The base price includes up to four guests. For a 5th or 6th guest, the surcharge is €17,20 per person per night.
- Tourist tax is €4,23 per person per night for guests aged 4+.
Late check-out requests
- Standard times apply, but in low season the reception can sometimes arrange a later departure on request. Contact reception in advance to discuss availability and options.
Quick reference: costs and extras that may affect your total

| Situation | What to know |
