Life on parc
What does a summer 2020 holiday look like?
Well, according to those who’ve been there, done that, it looks pretty good! We’ve given our Holiday Reps extra training for your peace of mind. And, with our first customers already on parc, we asked customers and colleagues (from here and from Eurocamp Netherlands) to share their experiences and give us the inside story on life on parc, 2020 style.
Welcoming guests and giving you a great summer is what we do. But this year, we understand that your holiday wish list is a little different than usual. That’s why we’ve been working harder than ever to make sure your summer is safe and secure and comes complete with all the space you need to enjoy your time together.
A Bigger Splash
Our colleague Niels Jansen enjoyed a fun family holiday in Duinrell, Holland. “We had a terrific time, enjoying all the rides, and the water park attractions, with less crowds and more space to be together,” Neils says.
Animal Magic
For the Van de Vlist family, a holiday at Beekse Bergen was just the tonic. Their kids, Yuna (12) and Melle (10) lapped up every moment: “It was really nice to see the animals up so close, a really fun experience,” Yuna says.
No limits in Normandy
Blogger, Karlien De Bruijn from TipsWithKids enjoyed a break in La Vallée, Normandy. “My kids loved the beach, and the beautiful surroundings. The parc was safe for them to play out by themselves, and I loved the terrace of our Azure holiday home.”
Captivating Croatia
The Melchers family noticed a few subtle changes during their stay at Camp Lanterna. “There was definitely more attention to hygiene and safety,” says Jurjen, “but it was still as fun as ever, in the restaurants and pool - which my daughter loved.”

"This is the parc at its best. Everyone feels safe and is having a really relaxing time."
"Everything on site is open and running as it usually would. Shows are still going ahead and everyone is enjoying their holiday."
"Covid regulations are in place but without creating a clinical feel or affecting a guest's enjoyment."
What are the facilities like on parc?
"All the facilities are open and guests are enjoying themselves. The staff makes sure everything runs smoothly and safely."
"Guests are happily using the pool, restaurant and outside bar. And there is plenty of space for everyone."
"You just need to book either a morning or afternoon time slot for the pool - that’s the only restriction."
"There’s fun being had everywhere, as usual. The restaurant is open, but we ordered great take away pizzas."
What's the local area like?
"You do have to wear a mask when out and about and the beaches have restricted numbers to maintain social distance, but this doesn’t seem to be an issue."
"Nearby places are quieter than normal which Is kind of cool as you get to enjoy amazing cities even more because there’s lots more space."

What would you say to reassure anyone who’s nervous about holidaying?

"There are all the procedures in place to ensure you can still enjoy and make the most of your holiday."
"Everyone is out and about enjoying their holidays and adhering to social distancing rules. Bars and restaurants feel safe and on top of their game."
"The best part about a Eurocamp holiday is that you have your own place, and can keep your distance from others. Everyone is being sensible with the new social distancing instructions too."
What’s it like staying on the parc this year?
"There’s extra cleaning in place from the Holiday Reps, and only one customer is allowed in reception per family."
"It’s very easy to keep socially distanced in the parc setting. We have good cleaning protocols so camping and self-catering holiday homes are the ideal safe holiday environment."
"We put mattress and pillow protectors on, and we always wear masks when cleaning."
"With having your own mobile home and decking you can remain completely self-contained whilst enjoying your holiday."
