We kindly request you to leave your cottage before 10h00. On Sundays, this time may vary in Belgium, France & Germany: you will find the exact time for your reservation in your booking confirmation or in My Center Parcs.

You can still enjoy all our activities and facilities on the day of departure: Aqua Mundo, BALUBA, playgrounds and restaurants. When leaving the park, hand in your keys or digital bracelet. 

For all parks (except Landes de Gascogne) - free parking :

• You will be able to park your car in front of the cottage only during loading/unloading of the trunk only upon your arrival and departure. For the rest of the stay, the car must remain parked at the nearest (free) parking. At Parc Sandur (NL) you are allowed to park one car next to the cottage. Free parking for other cars is available at the entrance of the park. 

• The car parks are designed to accommodate your personal vehicles as well as vans for up to 9 people.

• Exception : people with reduced mobility can leave their car in the baggage unloading area closest to their accommodation, upon presentation of a disability card. People suffering from a temporary disability may also benefit from exceptional authorization, which will be issued by the park upon arrival.

Additionally, if you stay in a hotel room at the Park Zandvoort (NL) hotel, you will have to pay 12,50€ for parking per night.

Particularities for the Landes de Gascogne :

• The park is 100% pedestrian to allow you to live a unique Center Parcs experience, where nature takes over: visitors will therefore have to leave their vehicles upon arrival in a car park located outside the park.

• The number of vehicles authorized depends on the capacity of your cottage (for example, for a cottage 4 people = 1 car, 6 people = 2 cars, 8 people (or more) = 3 cars). It is possible to come in more cars, but a supplement will be payable on arrival.

• Several solutions will be offered to you to bring your luggage to your cottage: self-service trolleys, a luggage delivery service to your cottage, or the possibility of renting an electric cart.

For day entries - paid parking :

Paid parking is provided at the entrance. The price depends on each park :

• For parks in the Netherlands : 6€/day, except for De Eemhof, Park Zandvoort & Het Meerdal (7,50€/day) and Limburgse Peel & De Huttenheugte (6,50€ per day). 

• For German parks: free except for Park Bostalsee (5€/day) and Bispinger Heide (4€/day).

• For Villages Nature Paris: 10€/day

• For Le Lac d’Ailette: 8€/day

• For other French parks: 7€/day

• For Belgian parks: 6€/day

In order to make a stay in the park as pleasant as possible for all guests, it is required that guests adhere to the rules of conduct as stated in the household rules, which may be requested from reception upon arrival.
