Whether you are planning a match on the padel court or a relaxed round on the 15-hole minigolf course, knowing where to collect equipment, when to do it, and how it works can save time and help your day run smoothly.
This guide explains how the Gear Hub at Reception works at Camping Bakkum, what you can collect there for sports activities, and a few practical tips to help you plan ahead. If you are looking for a simple overview before heading out to play, you will find it here.
What is the Gear Hub at Reception?
The Gear Hub at Reception is the practical starting point for several sports and leisure activities at Camping Bakkum. Instead of bringing all your own equipment, you can arrange key items directly through reception for selected on-site activities.
This is especially useful on holiday. It reduces what you need to carry, helps you travel lighter, and makes spontaneous plans much easier. If you decide in the morning that you want to play padel or minigolf later that day, reception is the place to begin.
At Camping Bakkum, reception plays an important role in organizing access to activities and equipment, including:
- Padel equipment collection
- Minigolf club hire
- Booking support for selected facilities
Which sports gear can you collect at reception?
The most relevant gear and activity items available via reception are tied to padel and minigolf.
Padel equipment
For guests using the padel court, the sports bag is collected at reception. This bag includes:
- The key
- Four rackets
- Balls
You can collect the sports bag up to 15 minutes before your reserved padel time.
That makes the process straightforward:
- Reserve your padel time.
- Go to reception shortly before your session.
- Collect the sports bag with the key, four rackets, and balls.
- Walk to the court and start playing.
Minigolf clubs
Camping Bakkum also has a 15-hole minigolf course. To play, you book a time slot and hire clubs at the reception.
This setup keeps the experience organized and easy to plan. If minigolf is on your family activity list, reception is where you arrange the practical side before heading to the course.
Padel at Camping Bakkum: how collection works
Padel is one of the standout sports facilities at Camping Bakkum, and the process is designed to be simple.
Where to collect your padel gear
Collect your padel equipment at the reception. The sports bag contains everything needed to start your session:
- The court key
- Four rackets
- Balls
When to collect it
You can pick up the sports bag up to 15 minutes before your reserved padel time.
This timing matters. It gives you enough time to collect the bag, head toward the sports area, and arrive ready to play without a rush.
Padel court opening hours
The padel court is open during the opening hours of the reception.
Reception opening hours are:
| Day | Opening hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00–19:00 |
| Tuesday | 09:00–19:00 |
| Wednesday | 09:00–19:00 |
| Thursday | 09:00–19:00 |
| Friday | 09:00–20:00 |
| Saturday | 09:00–19:00 |
| Sunday | 09:00–19:00 |
Because the court operates during reception opening hours, it is smart to plan your game within these times and collect your gear promptly.
Where the padel court is located
The padel court is on the large sports field, about a 10-minute walk from the reception.
That distance is worth keeping in mind when planning your session. If your booking starts soon, do not wait until the last possible moment to collect your equipment.
Returning padel equipment
If reception is closed when you return from your game, return the padel equipment at Bakkum Bites on the Ontmoetingsplein.
This gives guests a clear return point and helps avoid uncertainty at the end of a match.
Minigolf at Camping Bakkum: what to arrange at reception
If you prefer a more relaxed activity, the minigolf course is another easy option arranged through reception.
What you need to know
Camping Bakkum features a 15-hole minigolf course. It is located between the Ontmoetingsplein and the open-air theatre De Pan, in a forested setting.
To play minigolf:
- Book a time slot
- Hire clubs at the reception
This means you do not need to bring your own clubs. Reception acts as the access point for both the booking and the equipment side of the experience.
Why this setup helps guests
A scheduled time slot keeps the experience orderly and convenient, especially during busy periods. It also makes it easier to plan your day around other activities, meals, or time at the beach.
If you are exploring everything Camping Bakkum offers, minigolf fits naturally alongside other leisure options such as the open-air theatre, playgrounds, and the lively atmosphere around the Ontmoetingsplein.
Why the reception-based gear system works well
A central collection point may sound simple, but it offers real benefits for guests.
1. You can travel lighter
You do not need to pack extra sports gear for activities that are already supported on site. That makes arrival easier, especially for families or guests staying in accommodation rather than bringing a full camping setup.
2. The process is clear
Reception gives structure to the experience. You know where to go, what to collect, and when to do it.
3. It supports spontaneous plans
Holiday schedules often change. A simple reception pickup system makes it easier to decide on an activity during the day instead of planning everything far in advance.
4. It connects well with the campsite layout
Camping Bakkum offers a range of facilities, including tennis, fitness, pumptrack, playgrounds, restaurants, a supermarket, an open-air theater, a football field, a volleyball court, jeu de boules, and beach access. Reception helps tie these facilities into a practical guest experience by serving as a clear starting point for selected activities.

If you want your sports activity to go smoothly, these tips can help.
