Beyond Relaxation: Discovering Access Bars Sessions at the Wellness Post
If your mind could use a reset as much as your muscles, Access Bars sessions at Camping Bakkum’s Wellness Post offer a calm, head-clearing complement to classic massage. Tucked beside the on‑site laundrette, the massage salon—run by Saskia van Poppel, owner of Zitfit—adds an extra layer of ease to your beach-and-dune holiday. In this guide, you’ll learn what Access Bars is, how it differs from other treatments on the massage menu, what to expect during a session, and the simplest way to book during your stay.
What is an Access Bars session?
Access Bars is a fully clothed, hands‑on head treatment carried out while you lie comfortably on a massage table. During the session, a practitioner gently touches 37 points on the head with their hands. Many guests describe feeling more spacious and mentally refreshed afterwards—“as if things have been cleared out.” An Access Bars session at the Wellness Post is offered by appointment and is €50,- per hour, including a drink after the treatment.

Who benefits from Access Bars sessions?
Access Bars sessions are a popular pick for campers who want a quiet mind to match their relaxed body. They suit moments when you:
- Feel mentally cluttered and want a calmer, clearer headspace.
- Are pairing active days (padel, tennis, fitness, pumptrack) with deeper relaxation.
- Prefer a clothed, non‑oil treatment in a peaceful setting.
Because it’s gentle and still, many guests combine Access Bars sessions with a sauna visit or a leisurely walk in nature for an all‑round reset.
Pair your session with Sauna Rosa and active facilities
The Wellness Post also features Sauna Rosa, giving guests on site easy access to heat therapy. If you’re staying in selected rental accommodations such as Duinroos or Dune Tent Deluxe, free use of sauna facilities is listed among the included extras. Guests in Watertoren Duin & Bosch enjoy a curated stay with breakfast, bikes, and access to campsite facilities—plus free use of sauna facilities and the fitness room—while Wellness Post/massage is available at own cost.
For an active‑and‑relaxed rhythm during your holiday, the campsite’s Sportveld brings together a padel court, pumptrack, tennis court, football field, a jeu‑de‑boules lane, and a volleyball court. Next to the indoor gym, you’ll also find a free‑to‑use outdoor obstacle course with five routes (from beginner to beast mode), intended for guests aged 12 and over and focused on strength, balance and endurance. After your training, settle into Sauna Rosa and top it off with Access Bars for a deep mental unwind.
Round out your day with food and community at Bakkum Bites and the Ontmoetingsplein, stock up at the on‑site SPAR supermarket, or browse the seasonal Pop‑Up Store. Check the open‑air theatre De Pan for events, and don’t forget your complimentary Duinkaart for free entry to the North Holland Dune Reserve during your stay.
