Choosing the right Safari Tent can make your dune-side getaway effortless. At Camping de Lakens—set just one dune from the beach—you’ll find two Safari Tent options designed for easy, adventure living: the Safari Tent (3–4p) and the Safari Tent (3–6p).

At-a-glance comparison

Which Safari Tent should I choose?

If you’re deciding between the 3–4p and the 3–6p, start with the number of sleepers and the kind of space you want.

• Choose the 3–4p if:
  • You’re a family of up to four who likes a simple setup with one bunk bed.
  • You’re a couple or duo looking for a snug, more spacious feel.
• Choose the 3–6p if:
  • You need up to six sleeping spots in one shared space.
  • You’re traveling with friends or an extended family and everyone’s happy with bunks.
  • You want to keep everyone together—and you’re fine with the small surcharge from guest number four.

Tip: For families that value bedtime privacy or separate rooms, consider other accommodation types on site that feature different layouts. If you’re after a luxury tent with its own kitchen and bathroom, explore the Dunedome. If you like the idea of air conditioning, electric heating and a bathtub in the bedroom, check out the Beachdome or the Seacocoon. For a classic, ready-pitched experience in the dunes, the De Waard tent range (4p or 6p) is also available.

Practical takeaways and tips

Make the most of your Safari Tent stay with these actionable pointers.

Plan your meals around the weekly rhythm

• Count on a daily healthy breakfast.
• Enjoy a vegetarian dinner on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday (depending on your length of stay). On the other nights, sample Restaurant Gestrand, cook simple bites, or grab fresh options from the SPAR Supermarket.

Organize your days with the App

• Download the free Camping de Lakens App (Android and iOS) to manage your reservation, reserve facilities, check the activity schedule and sign up for sessions.

Pack for dune life

• Even with an electric heater, evenings can be cool—bring a warm layer for stargazing on your terrace.
• Bring your favorite beach kit (swimwear, sun protection, a reusable water bottle) to make the short walk over the dune even easier.

Lean into the Surfana vibe

• Join yoga in the dunes, relax to live music, and let the kids dive into organized activities.
• Into sustainability? Pick up a cleanup kit at reception and join the Plastic Soup Walk at your own pace.

Explore car-free and on two wheels

• Rent bikes at Behind the Beach next to Restaurant Gestrand to cruise the coastal paths.
• Charging points for e-bikes are available on site.

Wellness and fitness, included

• Use the Fit & Zen gym and sauna free of charge during your stay for a balanced routine.

Smart stay details

• Check-in for accommodations is from 3:00 pm; check-out by 10:30 am.
• Parking is available near accommodations and is included in your stay.
• For safety and comfort, campfires are not permitted; use electric cooking equipment or gas barbecues only.
• Camping de Lakens is a pet-free site.
• The season typically runs from the end of March to the end of October.

Booking your Safari Tent

Booking is straightforward:

1. Choose your arrival and departure dates on the Camping de Lakens website.
2. Enter your group size and select Accommodations.
3. Compare Safari Tent (3–4p) and Safari Tent (3–6p) availability.
4. Confirm your reservation. You can manage details later in the Camping de Lakens App or your “Mijn de Lakens” account.

Pro tip: If you’re leaning toward the 3–6p with four or more guests, factor in the €15 p.p.p.n. surcharge from the 4th person for breakfast, dinner and surf materials when comparing total value.

Conclusion

Both Safari Tents deliver what matters for adventure living in the dunes: comfortable beds, a cozy heater, a mini-fridge, and alfresco evenings at your own table. The 3–4p shines for small families and couples who want space to breathe, while the 3–6p is the flexible choice for bigger crews who love sharing one sleeping space—and don’t mind a small per-person surcharge from guest four.
