Reservation Fee Rundown: Why Every Booking Includes a €13,50 Charge

Planning a stay at Camping Le Plô should feel simple, not confusing. If you are comparing pitch prices, rental rates, deposits, and tourist tax, one line can raise an immediate question: why does every booking include a €13,50 reservation fee? This guide explains exactly where that charge appears, when it is applied, and how to factor it into your holiday budget before you confirm your stay.

Whether you are reserving a camping pitch, a rental tent, or a caravan, understanding the €13,50 reservation fee helps you avoid surprises and gives you a clearer view of the full booking cost.

What is the €13,50 reservation fee?

The reservation fee is a fixed booking charge of €13,50.

It appears as part of the booking conditions and applies when making a reservation. In practical terms, it is a standard charge added to the cost of securing your stay.

Quick answer

Every booking includes a €13,50 reservation fee because the campsite charges a fixed amount to process and confirm reservations.

This fee is separate from:

That distinction matters when you calculate the true total of your stay.

When is the reservation fee applied?

The €13,50 reservation fee is applied when you make a reservation.

This means it is relevant for bookings such as:

If you are checking tariffs for rental accommodation, it is important to remember that the listed rental prices are not the only charges connected to the booking. For rentals, the stated prices include water, electicity and en campground money, while the tourist tax of € 0,44 per person (18+) and € 13,50 reservation costs are not included.

Why is the reservation fee separate from the rental or pitch price?

A separate booking fee makes the structure of the total cost clearer. Rather than folding every administrative cost into nightly pricing, Camping Le Plô lists a distinct €13,50 reservation fee.

For guests, this has one main benefit: transparency. You can see that the accommodation rate covers the stay itself, while the reservation fee is a fixed booking-related charge.

What the separate pricing helps clarify

It helps distinguish between:

  1. Accommodation cost — your pitch, tent, or caravan rate
  2. Booking cost — the fixed €13,50 reservation fee
  3. Mandatory local charge — tourist tax of € 0,44 per person (18+)
  4. Optional extras — for example electricity on a camping pitch

This breakdown makes it easier to compare options across seasons and accommodation types.
