What is the Camping Bakkum plattegrond?

The plattegrond is Camping Bakkum’s detailed online site map. It helps you:

• Visualize the campsite layout across the dunes by the coast.
• Spot key facilities like Ontmoetingsplein, Bakkum Bites, SPAR supermarket, the Wellness Post (Sauna Rosa), and more.
• See where De Pan open-air theatre and the new 15-hole minigolf sit in the wooded part of the campsite.
• Plan walking or cycling routes through the dunes and to the nearby beach.

You can view the plattegrond on the website and pair it with the booking tools in Mijn Bakkum to select your preferred pitch or accommodation.

If you want energy and convenience, look for the Ontmoetingsplein—the central square for socializing. Nearby you’ll find:

• Bakkum Bites for easy food and drinks.
• Playgrounds and the Speelparadijs (play paradise) listed under Recreatie.
