What is the Sportveld at Camping Bakkum?
The Sportveld is the central sports area at Camping Bakkum. It is designed for guests who want to stay active and for groups who want easy access to multiple activities in one place.
At the Sportveld, you will find:
- Padel court
- Pumptrack
- Tennis court
- Football fields
- Jeu de boules court
- Volleyball court
- Obstacle parcours
That combination is what makes a Sportveld Sampler Day so appealing. Instead of committing to one sport, you can try several and keep the day flexible.
Why a Sportveld Sampler Day works so well
A multi-activity day is ideal when different people in your group enjoy different things. Some want competition. Others want free play. Some prefer a racket sport, while others would rather cycle, skate, kick a ball around or take on an obstacle challenge.
The Sportveld makes that easy because everything is gathered in one central area. That means less time walking around and more time actually playing.
A good fit for different types of visitors
A Sportveld Sampler Day works especially well for:
- Families with mixed ages and energy levels
- Friends who want friendly competition
- Guests staying on the campsite who want an active day close to their pitch or accommodation
- Visitors without a reservation who want to use the padel court

How to plan your Sportveld Sampler Day
If you want to experience multiple activities in one visit, a bit of planning goes a long way. The key is to reserve the fixed-time activities first and build the rest of your day around them.
1. Start with padel or tennis reservations
The easiest way to structure your day is to begin with the sports that require booking.
Padel can be reserved online or at reception. You can also pick up the key, rackets and balls there. The padel court is open during the opening hours of the reception.
Tennis can also be reserved online or at reception, and you can pick up the key there.
Because these activities have the clearest logistics, they create a useful anchor for your day.
2. Add flexible activities around them
Once your padel or tennis time is set, you can fill the rest of the day with activities that are easier to join more spontaneously, such as:
- Pumptrack sessions
- Football matches
- Volleyball games
- Jeu de boules
- Obstacle parcours time
3. Build in breaks and switches
The best sampler days keep the pace varied. Alternate between high-energy and lower-intensity activities so everyone stays fresh and interested.
A smart rhythm often looks like this:
- Start with a booked racket sport
- Move to a free-play activity
- Take a short break
- Try a challenge-based activity
- Finish with a group sport or relaxed game
Suggested Sportveld Sampler Day itinerary
Here is a practical example of how to enjoy several parts of the Sportveld in one visit.
Morning: Start with padel
Begin your Sportveld Sampler Day with padel, one of the standout activities at Camping Bakkum. The outdoor padel court sits on the Sportveld and is a strong choice for guests who want a fast-paced, social game.
Why start here?
- It is one of the activities you can reserve in advance
- Equipment pickup is straightforward through reception
- It brings instant energy to the day
If you are staying on a camping pitch or in an accommodation, padel is an easy activity to add to your schedule. It is also available if you do not have a reservation for your stay.
Late morning: Move to the pumptrack
After padel, head to the pumptrack. This is one of the most distinctive features of the Sportveld.
The track is 140 metres long and includes bumps and turns. It is described as a cross between a BMX track and a skatepark. The pumptrack is suitable for:
- BMX bikes
- Mountain bikes
- Skateboards
- Other cycling and skating sports
This makes it a great next stop because it offers a different kind of movement from racket sports. It is less about court play and more about rhythm, balance and flow.
Early afternoon: Tennis for a different racket challenge
After the pumptrack, switch back to a court sport with tennis. The tennis court is located behind the padel court and has been recently renewed.
Tennis gives your sampler day a different feel from padel. Even though both use rackets, the pace and style of play are distinct enough to make the experience feel fresh.
If your group likes comparing sports, this is a fun moment to ask: which did you enjoy more, padel or tennis?
Mid-afternoon: Obstacle parcours challenge
For visitors who want variety beyond ball sports, the obstacle parcours adds a physical challenge to the day.
It includes:
- Ropes
- Climbing nets
- Obstacles
It is suitable for adventurers aged 12 and up and is freely accessible for guests of Camping Bakkum. This makes it a strong option for groups who want to test strength, balance and agility together.
Late afternoon: Football, volleyball or jeu de boules
As the day winds down, finish with an activity that matches your group’s energy level.
Choose football if you still want speed and teamwork. Pick volleyball if your group enjoys shared rallies and easy-to-start matches. Go for jeu de boules if you want a more relaxed close to the day.
That mix is exactly what makes the Sportveld so useful. It supports both active competition and low-pressure fun.

Practical tips for a smooth sampler day
A successful Sportveld Sampler Day is not about rushing from one activity to another. It is about creating a balanced day that feels active, social and manageable.
Keep your group flexible
If you are visiting with family or friends, not everyone has to do every activity at the same time. The central setup makes it easier for people to split up briefly and rejoin later.
Alternate skill-based and casual activities
A good balance might include:
- One or two structured sports, such as padel and tennis
- One challenge activity, such as the obstacle parcours
- One rolling or riding activity, such as the pumptrack
- One group game, such as football or volleyball
- One calmer finish, such as jeu de boules
Pack for movement
A day with multiple sports works best when you dress for easy transitions. Comfortable sportswear and practical footwear can make it much easier to move from court to track to field.
Use the central location to your advantage
Because the Sportveld is in the centre of Camping Bakkum, it is easy to combine with other parts of your stay. You can move naturally between sports and other facilities during the day.
Related activities to explore during your stay
If your Sportveld Sampler Day leaves you wanting more, there are natural next steps to build into the rest of your time at Camping Bakkum.
You can continue exploring related topics such as:
- Padel court details and reservations
- Tennis court access and planning
- The full range of facilities on the campsite
- Options for camping pitches and accommodations if you want to turn a day visit into a longer stay
These are useful follow-ups if you want to shape a more active holiday around the campsite’s sports offering.
