- Pay 35% four weeks before arrival.
- You’ll receive an email with details for these instalments.
- Prefer to settle everything now? You can pay the full amount at the time of booking.
- When is my booking confirmed? Your stay is reserved once your (down)payment is received and you have received the reservation confirmation.

Compare your payment options
Use this simple comparison to decide which timeline suits you. Both options follow Camping Bakkum’s official schedules and keep your trip on track.
| Payment timeline | At booking | 60 days before arrival | 4 weeks before arrival | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Option 1: 60% deposit | 60% | — | 40% | Standard option for many bookings |
| Option 2: 15% deposit (selected rate plans) | 15% | 50% | 35% | Email communication provided for these instalments |
| Pay in full now | 100% | — | — | Available if you prefer to settle everything upfront |
Tip: Choose the 15% plan (when available) if you want to spread costs further into the run-up to your stay. Choose the 60% plan if you’re comfortable with a larger initial deposit and a single remaining payment.
