Revenue model

1. Camping Pitch Rentals: The primary revenue stream. Tourists book tent, camper, and caravan pitches for nightly stays. Pitches are offered in categories (Basic, Standard, Dichtbij, Comfort) with varying electricity amperage (6A–16A). Power is included in the night rate. Shower cards are required for hot water at €0.23/minute, with a €7.50 deposit.
2. Chalet Rental Management Fee: Private chalet owners rent their units through intermediaries. Camping De Holle Poarte does not rent chalets directly. Revenue to the campsite comes from a per-person per-night camping fee paid by chalet guests for use of common facilities, waste, and water. Fees are €4.35 (Mar/Apr/Sep/Oct), €4.65 (May/Jun), €5.00 (Jul/Aug) per person per night.
3. Annual and Seasonal Pitch Fees: Long-term campers purchase annual or seasonal pitches. Availability for annual pitches for chalets is fully sold out, indicating strong demand and a waiting list. Seasonal pitches are limited with a long waiting list.
