Early or last minute booking

One or three weeks' holiday

Do you want to go on holiday for a week or three weeks? How long you want to go on holiday is important when deciding whether to book early or late. We usually still have a suitable campsite available for a week, but if you want to go for longer, it is advisable to book early. That way, you can be sure of a three-week holiday at the same campsite. If you wait a little longer, you can, for example, combine several campsites. We will be happy to help you with this.

Popular campsites in Europe

Of course, we all have popular campsites, but last year a few jumped out as the first to be fully booked. For example, Camping Les Pêcheurs with its perfect location in the Côte d'Azur, Camping Le Canigou in the South of France which is entirely focused on families with teenagers, Camping Village Cavallino located directly on the beach and close to beautiful Venice or Camping de Vaubarlet with its unique location in the green valley. But also in Italy, Camping Village Punta Navaccia on Lake Trasimeno and Camping Village Casa dei Prati on the beautiful island of Elba are already fully booked for several weeks!

School holidays

During the summer holidays, most people have and go on holiday. Construction holidays (or construction holidays for short) are the holiday period when most (construction) companies are closed. That is why these are the most booked weeks! Early booking is a must during these weeks. Are you not tied to the construction period? Then look at the weeks before or after the construction period. The children will already be on holiday then and you will have more camping choices.

Indicate your preference!

If you book in time, you can let us know your preference for a particular campsite pitch or tent number. Useful, for example, if you go on holiday with friends or family and want to stay next to each other. If you want to rent two (or more) Villa tents next to or near each other, early booking is recommended. Giving a preference is no guarantee, but we will gladly take it into account whenever possible.

Countdown

Once you have booked a holiday, the countdown can begin. The entertainment starts as soon as you know where you will be staying in a few months. Is Belgium suffering from yet another day of rain? Then you can dream away at the summery holiday photos. Early booking gives you plenty of time to prepare your holiday thoroughly. You'll know early enough which activities and visits you'll be doing. Moreover, you can inform your employer and colleagues early, as well as arrange transport and get documents in order. Also, don't forget to find a sitter for your pets (unless they come with you on holiday) and hire someone to look after your plants.

An upfront payment and nice continued savings

Book your villa tent more than six weeks in advance? Then you pay us a 30% deposit. We would like to receive the rest of the amount six weeks before your departure. That way, you still have the chance to save some more. Handy if you are still expecting your holiday money. Do you book within six weeks before your departure? Then we would like to receive the amount in one go. As an early booker, it is a good idea to take out cancellation insurance. After all, you never know what the future holds. And this way you are covered against possible illness or family circumstances.

Last minute deals

A few years ago, last-minute holidays were a lot cheaper anyway. These days, that has changed. Still, it can happen that a holiday a few weeks before your departure suddenly becomes cheaper than the price paid by early birds. In that case, you are not entitled to a refund. That is simply the risk of booking early. Maybe you find it exciting not knowing where the trip is going until the last minute? Then a last minute is definitely for you.

Early booking: five benefits at a glance

Booking your trip early enough has many advantages, such as:

•    You are sure to have a spot at your favourite campsite.
•    The entertainment starts as soon as you book your spot.
•    Do you have specific wishes? Then you can let us know in advance.
•    Pay a 30% deposit and the rest six weeks before your departure.
