These prices vary greatly depending on your specific wishes and booking. We recommend looking at properties that meet your criteria on europarcs.com For example, if you choose a 10-person villa or a property with wellness facilities, the prices will differ from those for a stay in a smaller type of property.

No, the offer you receive is personalised and tailor-made, based on various elements, including: (1) the expected turnover of the park, (2) the expected turnover of your holiday home/type based on previous results and possible preferred bookings, (3) the location/setting of your property, and (4) property-specific features that make your property distinctive.
Yes, when determining the standard amount, a credit is applied for each solar panel present.
You could pay more tax due to the WOZ rateable value you receive. You are registered as the owner in the Land Register.
By acquiring the leasehold, your chalet becomes an independent WOZ property, for which you will receive the WOZ rateable value from the municipality every year. You may also be charged other fees, such as sewerage rights.
The WOZ value of the property, if purchased privately, must be included in your annual tax return under box 3 assets. This obligation also applies without a leasehold, so there is no change. Whether you owe taxes and how much ultimately depends on your personal circumstances and the other assets and liabilities in box 3. We recommend you seek professional advice.
The leasehold is registered in the Land Register. It therefore shows that you are the owner of the recreational property.
Personal use is not included as standard in Investment Ownership. To still be able to use your own home, you have two options:
You can always book your own home if it is available. You will then pay the applicable rates without preference costs.
When signing the contract, you have the option of converting part of your financial return into holiday credit. You can use this holiday credit for your own home, but also for other parks. We can often offer this holiday credit at a favourable rate. Ask your park team about the possibilities.
Yes, this is possible. You can book your stay at the rates applicable at the time without any preference fees. It is also possible to purchase additional holiday credit at a 50% discount.
No, using your own accommodation always costs points.
This new model makes it easier for owners to plan their holidays. With 105 points within the Rental Ownership model, owners can enjoy their own holiday home more than ever, without affecting their income. If you mainly stay in the low season, this can even amount to 90 days per year. The maximum of 90 days has been set to prevent owners from having to pay commuter tax.
If EuroParcs needs capacity in weeks other than July and August, owners with Premium Ownership will be approached to see if they are willing to make their property available for rental. This cannot be taken into account and the owner will usually be contacted relatively shortly (approx. 1 month) before arrival. An owner is not obliged to cooperate. The compensation for these weeks will be approximately 50% of the consumer price.
In most cases, no; EuroParcs takes care of the maintenance of the heat source because this affects the safety of the property and the park. However, there are a number of parks where this may be carried out by yourself. You can find out whether this applies to your park in your personal offer.
That is possible in many cases. Let us know if you are interested in purchasing your plot. You can contact the resort manager
Each model has different rules regarding maintenance days:
- Personal Ownership – free to use maintenance days as you wish
- Premium Ownership – can only be used outside the agreed rental periods
- Holiday Ownership – maximum of 10 days per year in consultation with your park team
- Investment Ownership – maximum of 10 days per year in consultation with your park team
- Rental Ownership – free to use maintenance days as you wish, with maintenance days deducted from the 105 points allocated for booking your own. In the low season it costs 1 point per day, in the shoulder season 3 points and in the high season 7 points. If the remaining number of points is insufficient, an additional reservation can be made at the applicable rate/exchange holiday credit
- Active Ownership – free to use maintenance days as you wish
Yes, letting via platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com is permitted. However, EuroParcs may exclude certain platforms if they do not fit in with their commercial interests, brand or quality requirements. The booking period must, however, meet a number of conditions, such as
a. in accordance with the rules set by the Holiday Park with regard to check-in and check-out (key transfer);
b. in accordance with the (additional) conditions set by the recreation park with regard to the cleaning of the Recreation Object;
c. taking into account that permanent residence is not permitted (see also the Basic Agreement).
A complete overview of the conditions can be found in your agreement.
No, that is not possible.
Yes, your pool share can change every year and during the year. This depends on how often your property is available for rental and how much it contributes to the total rental pool. The rental pool can also become larger or smaller if more properties are added or owners stop renting out their properties.
You may be able to increase your pool share by investing in luxury features such as a hot tub, sauna, fencing, etc. This also takes into account owners who invest in their properties.
Read more on the page “Rentalpool“.
For personal use, you have the choice of cleaning yourself or paying EuroParcs to do the cleaning. You do not have to pay for the inspection after cleaning by yourself. If your property is not clean enough for rental and still needs to be cleaned, you will have to pay for this. Final cleaning is always mandatory for guests and is paid for by the guests.
No, your lease agreement does not change.
No, the lease agreement remains in force as concluded. You rent the plot, and this lease does not provide tenant protection. The grounds for termination and other provisions included in the lease agreement remain applicable. If the lease agreement ends, the right of superficies will also end.
Yes, EuroParcs may increase these as stipulated in the General Terms and Conditions. The higher costs apply to all owners (if your current contract makes provision for cost revision). To prevent you suddenly having to pay much more at once, we will gradually increase the PSB with a transitional arrangement, by means of which you pay the full rate in 2028.
With Rental Ownership, personal use is counted on the basis of overnight stays. The points system works as follows:
Points awarded per overnight stay:
High season: 7 points per overnight stay
Shoulder season: 3 points per overnight stay
Low season: 1 point per overnight stay Example: if you arrive on Friday from 4 p.m. and depart on Monday before 10 a.m., you will be charged for 3 nights. If this weekend falls during the shoulder season, where 3 points per night are charged, this weekend would cost a total of 9 points.
The classification of high season, shoulder season and low season weeks is announced each year by 1 November for the next two years.
Owners can always request information from EuroParcs about which weeks are designated as high season, shoulder season and low season for the current and following calendar year.
In consultation with park managers, a detailed inventory of property characteristics has been conducted over the past year for each park and each individual holiday home. This includes features such as garden size, number of solar panels, presence of air conditioning, type of heating source, presence of a pellet stove, and whether the property is gas-free. This information is used to determine which rates apply to your holiday home.

From 8 September 2025, all owners will find a personal offer in ‘my environment’. If you have any questions about the personal offer, you can ask your park team using the contact form. You will find the link to this form in the email you received on 8 September. You can use the contact form to ask questions by email or to schedule a physical, online or telephone appointment. You do not need to schedule an appointment if everything is clear and you are able to make a decision.
The allocation of bookings is carried out automatically through the EuroParcs booking system. Accommodations of owners who choose a Rental Owner or Investment Owner contract become part of the rental pool. Accommodations that participate in the rental pool do not receive higher priority than accommodations with a BEX contract. However, reservations for accommodations that are part of the pool can be optimized in order to create suitable availability through “planning board optimization.” This may result in the average occupancy rate of the accommodations in the pool being higher than the average occupancy rate of accommodations that are not part of the pool.
For clarification: accommodations with an RO, IO or BEX contract do have higher priority than accommodations with an Active Owner contract. Owners with an Active Owner contract explicitly choose to recruit guests for their own accommodation themselves.
The PNZW (Planned Necessary Work) is a new way of planning and financing annual major maintenance of the park, in consultation with the owners. EuroParcs draws up a maintenance plan and budget together with a delegation of owners, the sounding board group. Only work that has been agreed upon is included in the final plan. The costs are divided between EuroParcs and the owners according to a fixed distribution key.
Due to the significant differences in rental rates between seasons, EuroParcs has distinguished between high, shoulder and low season weeks. A low season day is worth 1 point, a shoulder season day 3 points and a high season day 7 points. In total, you will receive 105 points per year, which you can use freely up to a maximum of 90 days (in connection with commuter tax).
A rental pool is a well-thought-out arrangement whereby all rental income per park is added to a single joint ‘pot’, the pool. At the end of the year, this income is distributed proportionally among the owners, based on their share of the pool. Each property is assigned a unique pool share, expressed as a percentage of the total pool. This pool share is determined by factors such as property type, location, unique features, quality, amenities and historical rental performance. The pool share may change during the year as properties enter or leave the pool, taking seasonal patterns into account. For example, the summer months of July and August count more heavily than winter months.
Holiday homes to which a Management and Operation Agreement (BEX, rental) applies are not part of the rental pool.
Read more on the Rental Pool page.
In previous years, most owners of holiday homes at EuroParcs used a service package for minor maintenance and inventory. This package covered damage and minor maintenance up to € 250 euro. For matters that fell outside this coverage, owners received a separate invoice. Due to the inefficiency and undercoverage of the service package, we have consulted with owners to arrive at a fairer and more customer-friendly method: a mandatory surcharge per person per night. The advantage of this new method is that the user pays and that there is more extensive coverage up to €5,000 euros for damage claims. Instead of a fixed amount per owner (regardless of how much the property is used) and the variable damage costs that were passed on, a fixed amount per guest night is now used. In concrete terms, this means that € 1.25 including VAT per guest night will be charged to the booking guest.
This surcharge is not passed on to bookings made by owners themselves, personal use and business reservations. In the case of a business booking, this is contractually agreed.
Based on historical rental income, the expected rental performance of your property is determined. The offering and the associated holiday credit are derived from this expected rental revenue and the anticipated park costs.
The commission fee is determined based on the rental expectations for a similar property in the park in question. The commission fee is fixed for the duration of the contract. At the end of the contract, a new commission fee is determined based on comparable properties. The commission fee is therefore not determined based on the rental results you have achieved yourself.
Renting the plot entails annual costs, as laid down in a rental plot agreement. The plot rent must be paid at the beginning of the year. If you decide to purchase the plot at a later date, the plot rent costs will lapse. From 8 September onwards, the plot rent will always be invoiced separately, even within the Investment Owner user model.
Previously, the plot rent included several costs and service components. In the new user models, we split the PSB, plot rental costs and any other costs such as leaseholds. This makes the actual rental costs transparent.
The expected rental turnover is determined based on historical rental performance of the specific characteristics of your property compared to properties of the same type. We take into account the full availability of the property throughout the year. The location and facilities of the property, for example, influence the expected rental turnover.
For as long as you rent the plot, as well as if you subsequently transfer the lease agreement to another owner.
Leaseholds offered by EuroParcs are rent-dependent leaseholds. As the name implies, the leasehold depends on the lease agreement. As long as you are a tenant of the plot, the leasehold continues to exist. If the lease agreement ends, the leasehold ends. The leasehold itself cannot be terminated.
You are free to use the property for your own use outside the specified and agreed rental periods. However, this must not conflict with local legislation and/or the local deed when it comes to recreational use. This varies per municipality. For example, possible restrictions include a maximum of 6 months per year or a maximum of a specific number of consecutive weeks.
In principle, as stated in article 3b, no more than 5 weeks’ personal use, so you remain within the revised VAT rate and do not pay commuter tax. You can expand this by signing an addendum. If you would like more personal use, we recommend you contact your financial advisor first to discuss the financial and tax implications.
Personal Ownership: You receive once per year, in the last quarter (Q4), an annual statement with the costs for the following year.
Premium Ownership: You receive once per year, in the last quarter (Q4), an annual statement. The costs for the upcoming year are directly offset against your fixed rental income.
Rental Ownership: You generally do not pay any costs and therefore do not receive an invoice for service fees. Your variable compensation is paid annually in January/February for the previous year. If you rent your plot, the ground rent will be invoiced separately.
Investment Ownership: You do not pay any costs and therefore do not receive an invoice for service fees. Your fixed compensation is paid quarterly. If you rent your plot, the ground rent will be invoiced separately.
Holiday Ownership: You do not pay any costs and therefore do not receive an invoice for service fees. You receive your holiday credit annually. If you rent your plot, the ground rent will be invoiced separately.
Active Ownership: You receive once per year, in the last quarter (Q4), an annual statement with the costs for the following year, including the fixed commission.
EuroParcs estimates the basic rental income of the property based on comparable properties in the park or possibly another park. We have a lot of data available from recent years to make a realistic estimate. We then base the rental offer on this.
Read more on the page “Rentalpool“.
In that case, we would be happy to discuss with you personally what these agreements mean in the new situation.
The basic agreement and user models apply to all properties. You will receive a personal offer for each property in the ‘my environment’ section of Booking Experts. Your personal offer is determined by the expected rental income of the property and the growth expectations at the park. This can therefore vary from park to park and from property to property. You enter into a separate agreement with EuroParcs for each holiday home and you submit your decision for each property via the online selection form. Please note: if you have more than three properties in multiple parks, a separate appointment will be made with you to discuss all your properties. Some of these owners have already been contacted before 8 September, others will be contacted after 8 September. Before this meeting, you will receive personal offers for all your properties.
Cancellation fees are part of the rental pool revenue and are included in the annual payout.
No, EuroParcs is responsible for issuing the keys to your property. We are legally obliged to keep a night register and must check in all guests. We also check the identity of at least the main booker.
If you are a year-round pitch holder, the user models do not apply to you.
For all models that permit rental, you can bring in your own guests. The Active Ownership model is beneficial for owners who bring in many of their own guests. With the Rental Ownership and Investment Ownership models, an owner can earn up to €7500 annually from reservations, for which a commission of 30% is paid (a maximum of €2250). This allows owners to bring in their own guests and achieve higher returns.
The rental pool only calculates the rental income and does not take into account the operational costs of the park. The pool only distributes the realised rental turnover among owners based on their pool share.
The risk that the operational costs of the park exceed the income allocated to EuroParcs from the rental pool lies entirely with EuroParcs as park manager.
The risk you run as an owner depends on your user model. With Investment Ownership, Holiday Ownership and Premium Ownership, you receive the predetermined returns. This payment is substantive of the rental income realised on your property (and on the park). With the Rental Ownership model, you receive a predetermined percentage of your pool share. Your pool share depends on the rental income in the rental pool.
Yes, if mutual agreement has been reached between EuroParcs and the owner, it may be possible to switch to a different user model. However, due to rental availability, not all user models may be available. We may also require you to adhere a reasonable time period before you can switch. It is important to note that existing guest bookings take precedence and a switch to a user model with fewer rental capabilities is only possible once the existing bookings have been completed.
Within the Investment Owner and Rental Owners user models, EuroParcs offers owners the option of using properties other than their own, both at their own park and at other EuroParcs locations. You can purchase holiday credit for up to the value of your (expected) return, with a factor of 1 to 2. You purchase credit per 1,000 euro. So when you pay 1,000 euro, you receive 2,000 euro in credit. When you pay 2,000 euro, you receive 4,000 euro in holiday credit.
It depends on your circumstances, get professional advice.
EuroParcs has asked BDO accounting and tax consultancy whether value-added tax or transfer tax is payable when establishing a rent-dependent leasehold.
In respect of value added tax, BDO indicated that generally, this rent-dependent leasehold relating to the lease of the plot could be considered an ancillary service, meaning there is no separate VAT taxable supply (service or supply). Since no additional payment is stipulated for this rent-dependent leasehold aside from rent already owing, no additional value added tax is payable.
In respect of transfer tax, BDO indicated that generally, when (subsequently) establishing a rent-dependent leasehold, no additional transfer tax is due in principle, as the rent-dependent leasehold itself is not a (taxable) acquisition of an (independent) limited right in respect of transfer tax. In the prior acquisition of the recreational property, (in most cases) you already had to pay transfer tax or utilised an exemption.
Seek professional tax advice regarding your individual circumstances.
If your current contract continues beyond 2025, you can choose whether to stay with your current contract or switch to the new basic agreement and a uIf your current fixed-return agreement continues after 1 April 2026, we will not ask you to make a decision before 15 October 2025. We do ask you to inform the park team of your decision no later than 1 month before the expiry of your current contract. If we do not receive your decision in time, EuroParcs will no longer be allowed to rent out your property. You will then only be able to use your property yourself and will be responsible for the applicable park costs, such as the PSB and PNZW. ser model.
At certain parks, local regulations make it impossible to offer all usage models—for example, due to a mandatory rental obligation. As a result, not all usage models may be available in specific cases.
The vacation credit can be used on all rental properties at more than 50 EuroParcs parks. These parks are located in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and Austria. You can find our parks and vacation homes at europarcs.nl.
Once you switch to a new user model, these services will be included in your user model, depending on the type of user model. Please refer to your Personal Offer for details on which services are included in each user model.
U kunt bij uw parkteam navragen wat het actuele saldo is van uw te besteden vakantietegoed. U krijgt geen specifieke rapportage over de bezetting van uw eigen woning. Om te boeken met uw tegoed, kunt u de algemene beschikbaarheid van alle woningen raadplegen via de website van EuroParcs.
The Investment Ownership user model is most similar to the current guarantee agreement (VGGO, VOGO). There are a number of important differences compared to the Rental Ownership model:
More certainty: the compensation you receive for making your holiday home available is fixed for the duration of the contract, regardless of the rental income generated by the property.
Payment: unlike the Rental Ownership model, where the fee is paid at the end of the calendar year, with the Investment Ownership model you receive 25% of your total annual fee every quarter.
Higher return: compared to the Rental Ownership model, you receive a higher remuneration because you make your property available for rental throughout the calendar year.
At the beginning of the year, owners know what maintenance is planned and what the expected costs will be. This improves the unpredictability of the old ‘NZW post-calculation’ model. You only pay for work carried out in the year in question. This is in contrast to the MJOP, where you are effectively saving for maintenance that may be further in the future. The work and budget are discussed and agreed annually with a delegation of owners, the sounding board group.
The rental pool, which is relevant for the Rental Ownership and Investment Ownership user models, offers several advantages:
It enables EuroParcs to transfer bookings to other properties in the pool. This results in fewer days remaining vacant, higher occupancy rates, and increased income for owners.
A cancellation of a booking or an unexpected reason why a property is temporarily unavailable for rent, such as maintenance, is absorbed by the pool, reducing the risk for owners.
Everyone knows where they stand, because each participant receives a share of the pool based on the characteristics of their property, such as location, type, view, facilities, etc. The rental pool also offers more predictability than individual rental contracts, because fluctuations at pool level are smaller than for individual properties.
The Rental Ownership user model also offers more flexibility with regard to personal use. By planning in this manner, an owner can sometimes enjoy their property at the last minute without reducing their income.
StayXL bookings, also known as long-term or business rental bookings, mainly take place during the low and shoulder seasons and can be a nice addition to your rental results. In general, the months of July and August are excluded from StayXL rentals. If this does occur, higher rates will be applied (the current website price with a 5% discount).
When scheduling StayXL bookings, recreational occupancy is taken into account, as well as the local laws and regulations of the park in question. This is done in consultation with the park team and the respective owner of the property. Maximising recreational rentals is EuroParcs’ primary goal. StayXL bookings can help to improve the occupancy and rental results of a property. As an owner, you automatically agree to Stay XL bookings if you opt for a user model that involves renting out the property (with the exception of Active Ownership).
Of all the user models, the Rental Ownership user model is most similar to the current BEX agreement. However, there are a few important differences and advantages:
- More stable rental income: with a BEX contract, you receive income from your own property, whereas with Rental Ownership, your property is part of the rental pool and the risk is spread. Read more on the Rental Pool page.
- Higher rental income: properties in the rental pool can be occupied more efficiently because there is more freedom to utilise the full capacity of the park.
- No advance payment: the annual costs that you pay to BEX at the start of the year are included in the result in the Rental Ownership model. You will no longer receive an invoice for the services included.
- No cost risk: you fix the Rental Ownership percentage for the duration of the agreement. This means that if the rates at your park increase, you will not be adversely affected. The Rental Ownership percentage is not adjusted during the term of the agreement.
- More flexible personal use: personal use of your holiday home no longer affects your results (up to 105 points). Under the current BEX agreement, personal use means that you exclude the property from bookings. Because the Rental Ownership model involves renting through the rental pool, this can be inconvenient for you. Last-minute bookings are also sometimes possible if another holiday home is available for the guest.
Approx. € 700 – € 1,500 (2025 pricing level)
We have created models with our project notaries that allow for the establishment of leaseholds at a favourable rates with them. Your plot may not yet have cadastral boundaries. In that case, there will be additional costs for the cadastral survey. It is advisable to request a quote first so you know exactly what the costs will be.
In the coming period, we will provide you with detailed information about the new basic agreement, user models and methodologies, so that you can make an informed decision from 8 September 2025 onwards. If you have an agreement with a fixed return that expires before 1 April 2026, you will switch to the new basic agreement and a user model after your current agreement expires. If you currently have an owner-occupancy contract or a rental contract (BEX), you can choose whether to switch to a new user model or to remain with your current agreement using a transitional arrangement. You are not obliged to switch to a new user model.
You will receive 50% of the rental income. The high season for the coming year will be announced on 1 November.
In principle, your annual statement will list all the services you purchase from EuroParcs. This is done to give you a transparent overview of the services and their associated value.
Depending on your chosen user model, payment of these costs will be processed as follows:
You pay the costs: for models such as Personal Ownership and Active Ownership, the annual statement shows the costs you have to pay.
The costs are settled: with Premium Ownership, the costs on the annual statement are settled directly against your guaranteed rental income.
The costs are €0: for models such as Rental, Investment and Holiday Ownership, the costs for the mandatory service packages are set at €0 in return. For clarity, they may be stated on the invoice, but will then be debited immediately.
In de nieuwe gebruikersmodellen zijn de verschillende diensten die geleverd worden op parken onderverdeeld in drie categorieën: Accommodatie-, Verhuur-, en Buitenservices. Per gebruikersmodel zijn deze services wel of niet verplicht om af te nemen. U vindt meer informatie op Eigenaarproposities | EuroParcs en op pagina 9 van het persoonlijk aanbod, waar deze services zijn uitgesplitst naar de inbegrepen diensten.
The Park Service Contribution (PSB) is for the daily management of the park, aimed at keeping the general areas clean, safe and accessible.
The PSB consists of services such as:
- Costs for outsourced daily work, such as cleaning and green space management at central facilities, such as the playground or reception
- Surveillance or security
- Removal of park waste
- Salaries for employees who keep the park running, such as the technical service
- Purchase of materials and energy for heating and lighting the central park facilities
- Costs of the service office to support the park’s operations, such as administration and IT systems
The Personal Offer is merely a proposal, not a contract. Once you have selected your preferred usage model, you will receive the official agreements: the Basic Agreement and the Usage and Rental Agreement. These must be signed to finalize the arrangement.
This depends on your current agreement. If it has an end date (including, for example, the VGGO agreement), your property will be removed from the rental programme in accordance with the contract, and you will no longer receive any compensation. Agreements without an end date (including the BEX) will remain in force.
If you do not notify EuroParcs of the rental weeks in writing on time, EuroParcs may choose to (1) retain the standard 2 rental weeks (last week of July and first week of August) or (2) not rent out the recreational property. If EuroParcs decides not to rent out the property, the owner is not entitled to the rental guarantee. In both cases, you remain obliged to pay all costs, including the Rental Service Package.
If you use fewer than the maximum 105 personal usage points, this will not affect your pool share or return. All properties that use 105 points or less are considered 100% rentable. You will not receive any additional compensation for the remaining points, nor can you carry the remaining points over to the following year.
When a holiday home is sold, the new owner must always sign a new basic agreement and user model – there is no automatic contract transfer. However, the selling owner has the right to offer the existing contract terms to the new owner, provided that EuroParcs gives its written consent (Article 9.2.3 Basic Agreement). If the new owner opts for a different user model, the owner will consult with EuroParcs about the most suitable contract. Outstanding bookings will be taken into account in this consideration. The bridging arrangement is personal and cannot be transferred.
Under these user models where GWE costs apply, the owner pays based on actual consumption—similar to the current arrangement.
The basic agreement and user models apply to all holiday homes. You will receive a personal offer for each property in the ‘My Environment’ section of Booking Experts. Your personal offer is determined by the expected rental income of the property and the growth expectations at the park. This can therefore vary from park to park and from property to property. You enter into a separate agreement with EuroParcs for each holiday home and you submit your choice for each property via the online selection form. Please note: if you have more than three properties in multiple parks, will make anappointment with you to discuss all your properties. Some of these owners have already been contacted before 8 September, others will be contacted after 8 September. Prior to this meeting, you will receive personal offers for all your properties.
If you have added extra facilities such as air conditioning, a garden fence or a sauna to your property, this will often result in higher rental revenue (pool share). When drawing up your personal offer, we take into account the extent to which your property has been booked with preference and whether this has resulted in relatively higher revenue. These factors can be reviewed annually based on rental results, which may result in a higher contribution to the pool and thus a higher expected pool share and therefore more income for you.
If you sell your property early, both the proceeds and the costs will be settled on a pro rata basis.
EuroParcs reports and communicates within Rental Ownership:
availability of the property for own use (no insight into individual bookings and prices)
rental updates four times a year at the end of each quarter. These provide insight into the realised and expected rental turnover of the pool in comparison with the budget/expectations. This enables each owner to make a good estimate of the final results.
the final statement of the rental pool, giving the owner insight into the owner’s actual share of the pool and the total revenue from the pool. In addition, the expected contribution to the pool (the expected rental revenue) for the coming year is shared.
You must register tenants yourself in the EuroParcs booking system. If EuroParcs optionally makes a booking for you, specific information about that booking will be made available (such as the gross rental price).
With Premium Ownership, you decide each year which rental periods you make available. This means you already know when you can plan your own use (all periods outside the rental weeks you have specified). Because you receive a guaranteed amount, you do not have access to booking details and rental sums. You do have access to the availability of the property, so you know when you can book it for your own use.
A leasehold gives you legal ownership of a building, your holiday home, while the plot of land, the ground on which it stands, belongs to someone else.
A leasehold is a so-called limited property right that allows you to own or acquire buildings, works, or plantings in, on, or above someone else’s real estate.
Het Persoonlijk Aanbod is een financiële bijlage bij de brief en overige informatie over de nieuwe gebruikersmodellen. Algemene informatie vindt u op de gebruikersmodellenwebsite (tekstueel, informatieve video’s en FAQs). In het Persoonlijk Aanbod zijn de financiële parameters weergeven die specifiek voor uw woning van toepassing zijn.
EuroParcs offers two types of plots: purchase plots and rental plots. With rental plots, the owner of the holiday home is not the owner of the plot on which it is placed. The owner pays rent to use the plot.
Renting a plot affects the financial outcome of the user models. In some cases, a holiday home generates insufficient income when fully rented out to offset the costs of the rental plot. In this case, EuroParcs offers a rental discount so that the owner can rent out the property fully (Investment Ownership) without incurring costs.
The costs of daily maintenance, salaries and materials have risen in recent years due to external factors. As a result, the rates currently charged for park service contributions and other services do not accurately reflect the actual costs. We bear these costs together, but we want to prevent you from having to pay much more at once. With the bridging arrangement, we are gradually increasing the PSB, with you paying the full rate in 2028. This only applies if you purchased your home before 1 July 2025. This increase, and the bridging arrangement, is included in your personal offer.
The Personal Offer is considered personal because it is carefully composed and, where possible, takes into account the individual circumstances of the property owner. The offer is based on a combination of the following information:
Personal billing data: For each holiday home, the periodic invoice for 2025 has been used as the basis for the current rates paid by the owner. The transitional arrangement is aligned with this data, making it tailored to the individual.
Specific property characteristics: In consultation with park managers, an inventory has been made of each property’s features—such as garden size, number of solar panels, presence of air conditioning, type of heating source, presence of a pellet stove, and whether the property is gas-free.
Property-specific rental income forecast: For each holiday home, an estimate of rental income has been made, taking into account historical rental performance, specific features such as location, and comparable properties.
In short, the offer is not standard but custom-made, based on the actual situation and history of each individual holiday home and its owner.
If you have received a choice form as part of the contract migration, you can indicate your choice on the form.
If you decide to acquire a leasehold, we will send you a new lease agreement that establishes the leasehold, and forward your request to the notary as described below. Of course, you are not obliged to acquire a leasehold.
If you wish to acquire a leasehold at a different (later) stage (after contract migration), you can contact the resort manager.
If you are interested in acquiring a leasehold, please email the resort manager. Include your full name, address, and the plot number of your holiday home.
We will send you a new lease agreement for the plot in which the leasehold is included.
We will forward your request to the notary, who will prepare a deed for you to acquire the leasehold. The notary will conduct KYC (Know Your Customer) enquiries and you must provide the necessary information.
A notarial deed is required to establish the leasehold. The notary sends a draft deed to you and EuroParcs. If both parties agree, the deed is executed by the notary and registered in the Land Registry. The leasehold is then established.
Finally: if you have not (yet) chosen to acquire a leasehold, you will retain your existing agreement or receive a (new) lease agreement for the plot without a leasehold. We also ask for your signature to waive the right of leasehold.
In principle, the rental of the plot and the leasehold pass to the new owner at EuroParcs (the leasehold must then be registered in the name of the new owner by a notary).
Because it concerns a rent-dependent leasehold, the leasehold is dependent on the so-called primary right (the lease agreement). This means the leasehold cannot be transferred independently, but only together with the right to which it is connected (the lease agreement). Whether this is the case depends on various factors and varies from one case to another. Please contact the resort manager if you have queries about this.
In the event of a sale without transfer of the lease agreement, the leasehold must be cancelled in the Land Register.
You may choose a user model with a term of either 1 or 3 years. Upon expiry of the contract period, it will be automatically renewed unless you wish to switch to a different user model. Any changes can be arranged in consultation with your park team.
Every owner of a holiday home at EuroParcs will receive their personal offer in the ‘my environment’ section of Booking Experts, under ‘my details’, on 8 September 2025.
This is stipulated in the master agreement, Article 9.2. The owner has the right to transfer the agreement to a buyer for the remaining term, subject to approval by EuroParcs. EuroParcs shall not withhold approval on unreasonable grounds. The selling party is responsible for informing the purchasing party.
If you are considering making your property available for rental, this may require some adjustments. This may involve costs. In consultation with your park team, you can discuss the suitability of your property for possible rental. If desired, we can provide you with advice on a cosmetic upgrade or limited renovation. This could include improvements to your kitchen, bathroom or furniture package.
You must notify EuroParcs in writing before 1 December each year of the period during the high season in the coming calendar year when your holiday home will be available for rental.
Personal Ownership: this model is for personal use only; there is no rental income.
Premium Ownership: you will not receive any direct payments. Your fixed rental income will be settled once a year, in the last quarter (Q4), directly against your annual invoice for the costs of the coming year.
Rental Ownership: you will receive your variable remuneration from the rental pool annually, no later than the last working day of January of the year following the rental year.
Investment Ownership: you will receive your fixed, guaranteed rental income in four equal instalments, each no later than the last working day of the month following the past quarter.
Holiday Ownership: you will not receive any financial income, but an annual payment of your Holiday Credit.
Active Ownership: if EuroParcs has made a booking for you, the rental income is paid out monthly, no later than one month after the end of the month in which the rental took place. For bookings that you handle entirely yourself, you receive the income directly from the tenant.
You can find your Personal Offer in the ‘My Environment‘ section of Booking Experts.
The transitional arrangement applies to all rates, not just to the PSB. Increases in areas such as garden maintenance are also being introduced gradually.
This varies depending on the user model. An overview of the services available can be found HERE Your personal offer will explain in more detail which specific services are included at which rate for your chosen user model.
The commission fee relates to the buy-out of the rental commission that EuroParcs would normally receive per booking. By buying this out in advance, the owner receives 100% of the basic rental price for all bookings. EuroParcs will continue to maintain the night register, provide hospitality, reception and enforcement of the park rules. Depending on the owner’s choice, EuroParcs can also take care of invoicing.
With the Rental Ownership user model, you do not pay any park costs. Because EuroParcs can only draw up the pool statement at the end of the year, the payment for the previous calendar year is made on the last working day of January. This keeps the invoicing and cash flows clear for both owners and EuroParcs.
EuroParcs uses an average amount per property type to ensure fairness for all owners. If actual consumption were used, owners who rented out their property frequently—and therefore incurred higher GWE costs—would be disadvantaged with a lower net result. By applying an average, all owners are treated equally, regardless of their historical rental activity.
Not all owners paid the same rate in 2025. Due to historical differences in contracts, some owners benefited from lower rates. The new rate list aims to harmonize these discrepancies through a transitional arrangement.
For each holiday home, the periodic invoice for 2025 has been used as the basis for the applicable rates. In some cases, personal rates may not be available—for example, if the invoice was incomplete at the reference date or if the owner did not use the service in the past. In such instances, standard rates for these services are applied.
The transition to modern, uniform contracts is an important part of our future plans as set out in Horizon 2028. The wide variety of ownership contracts and exceptions makes managing so many different contracts virtually impossible and, moreover, very labour-intensive and therefore expensive.
That is why we have worked on a single uniform basic agreement and six new user models, which offer you simplicity, clarity and transparency. This new basic contract has been developed in careful consultation with a delegation of owners, incorporating a great deal of valuable feedback. The aim of this change is to maximise your security as an owner with a good balance between the rights and obligations of both parties. The new contracts do not change your ownership rights, only the use of your property as you see fit.

If you rent a plot, it is possible that EuroParcs proposes a new basic rental plot rate in your personal offer. In practice, it has been observed that rental plot rates in the past varied significantly, both between different parks and within the same park.
Within the new user models, EuroParcs applies a basic rental plot rate (‘bare rate’), in which no Personal Service Contribution (PSC) or other costs are included. This base rate is then adjusted up or down by comparing the current rental plot rate with 6% of the purchase value of your plot.
In the past, the rates for plot rents varied significantly between owners in the same resort. These rates were not always in line with the actual value of the plot. To create a transparent and consistent system for all owners, the rent is now based on a fixed percentage of the plot value.
The plot value is determined based on the sale prices of comparable, recently sold plots at the relevant resort. If there have been no recent sales, comparable resorts in the area are used as a benchmark. 6% is an accepted market standard for the commercial rental of recreational property.
The rental pool ensures that rental income is distributed among participating property owners based on their pool share. It is possible that a property has historically generated higher rental revenue than projected in this offer. In many cases, this is coincidental—for example, due to an extended booking during peak season. Under the new arrangement, such effects are averaged across all holiday homes in the pool. The total sum of all properties in the rental pool corresponds to the park budget. This budget has been set as a target amount, despite the VAT increase on accommodation services from 9% to 21%.
It ensures you retain legal ownership of your holiday home, even if it is on a plot that belongs to someone else. This provides extra security.
You have purchased a recreational property on leased land. This means the land on which your chalet stands is owned by another party (often EuroParcs). The law stipulates that the owner of the land is automatically the legal owner of the buildings on it (such as recreational properties).
By placing the recreational property on the plot, where it is presumed to remain permanently (for the longer term), accession applies. However, EuroParcs will never invoke this right of accession to claim your recreational property, not now nor in future. We attach great importance to providing you with that explicit clarity and security. You can use the property, rent it out, insure it, renovate it, demolish it, sell it, etc., (subject to the relevant (resort) conditions).
The added value of a leasehold, in simple terms, is that it facilitates separation of legal ownership of the land and legal ownership of the buildings on it. With leasehold, you acquire legal ownership of the recreational property in addition to economic ownership. The leasehold is also registered in the Land Register, formalising your rights.
A potential disadvantage of a leasehold is that you may pay additional charges.
The new user models contain clear agreements about resort rules, management, service, and use or rental of your home. These agreements have recently been revised based on discussions with owners and in coordination with the focus group so the interests of owners are better represented. Additionally, you have improved and documented input into the annual Park Service Contribution (PSB) and Planned Essential Maintenance (PNZW).
EuroParcs will not terminate your current contract for the time being. Please note that both you and EuroParcs have the right to terminate the current contract, subject to the applicable notice period.
Yes, you will still receive 50% of the rental income. This will be paid out on 1 November.
As an owner, you participate in a rental pool. This means that the revenue from one individual reservation or one specific property is not the focus, but rather the combined result of all properties in the pool. At the end of the year, we look at the average revenue of all properties combined. This is then distributed based on your share in the pool.
When running discount promotions, it is important to also consider the occupancy rate. A lower price can lead to higher occupancy and ultimately to higher total revenue. For example: with 100 properties at a price of €150 per night and an occupancy rate of 20%, the total revenue amounts to €3,000 per night. When a promotion is applied with a lower price of €50 per night and occupancy increases to 80%, the total revenue amounts to €4,000 per night. In that case, the overall revenue is higher, which is positive for all owners.
The feedback gathered from these conversations and from the BVE platform, representing 29 of the 35 Owners’ Interest Groups (BVEs), has been used to make the user models clearer and more balanced. This has resulted in the current version of the basic agreement, user models and methodologies PSB, PNZW and the rental pool.
