All about friends' holiday

Our lodges are suitable for 2 to 8 people. The Safari Lodge 2-6P and Desert Lodge Teeny 2-8P are ideal for a group of friends. For larger groups of 8+, you can book several lodges next to each other at the same campsite. Campsites such as Les 3 Cantons in southern France and Heart of Nature in Croatia offer plenty of room for this.

Heart of Nature in Croatia is perfect for an adventurous holiday with friends: canoeing, walking and swimming in crystal-clear water. For a relaxed holiday with good food and wine, Italy (Le Marche, Umbria) is ideal. In France, Les 3 Cantons in Tarn-et-Garonne offers a large pool and barbecue facilities — perfect for group dinners. Camping Vrijhaven in Friesland is great if you don't want to drive far.

Yes, almost all Lodge Holidays lodges have a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a barbecue on the covered terrace. Perfect for cooking together and barbecuing with friends. The outdoor kitchen has a gas hob, fridge, cooking utensils and crockery. At some campsites in Italy you can also buy local produce for an authentic Italian meal.

Yes, weekend and midweek bookings are possible at Lodge Holidays. Get in touch with Rink-Jan via WhatsApp for availability and group offers. In the shoulder season there are extra attractive rates. Tip: book a midweek stay (Monday-Friday) for the quietest experience and the best prices.

The options differ by destination. In Croatia: canoeing, rafting and walking in nature. In Italy: wine tastings, cycling through the hills and visiting the beach on the Adriatic coast. In the Dordogne: kayaking on the river, visiting castles and exploring local markets. In Friesland: paddleboarding, sailing and cycling along the lakes. Every campsite page lists the activities in the area.

Absolutely. Our lodges offer hotel comfort in the middle of nature: a real bed with a quality mattress, a private bathroom with a warm shower, a fully equipped kitchen and an espresso machine. You miss nothing compared to a hotel but gain enormously in atmosphere, space and sociability. Many guests who try glamping for the first time are surprised by the level of comfort and come back every year.
