It offers the best of both worlds: the calm of a coastal village with Amsterdam and historic cities like Haarlem and Alkmaar always close by, and the sea so near you can almost smell it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts origins reach back to a 9th-century ring fortress built to defend the coast against Viking raids. During World War II, the dunes became part of the Atlantic Wall, traces of which can still be found today, and nearby bunkers were used to safeguard national treasures, including Rembrandt’s Night Watch. Today, those same dunes protect vital drinking water reserves managed by PWN. Just beyond them lies Camping Bakkum, one of the Netherlands’ largest and most famous campsites, long known as “Little Mokum.” Rooted in history yet open to the present, Castricum is a place where nature, heritage, and even modern sports like cornhole now feel right at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHotel Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"241\" width=\"321\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/8701\/7049\/files\/Valk-01.jpg?v=1770196223\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelakersloot.nl\/kamers-suites\/?utm_source=google\u0026amp;utm_medium=cpc\u0026amp;utm_campaign=NON-BRANDED+Hotel+Akersloot+Adgroups\u0026amp;gad_source=1\u0026amp;gad_campaignid=13184799546\u0026amp;gbraid=0AAAAADvXl-5LgswW-Z9q3UmzwTbll69CF\u0026amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA-YvMBhDtARIsAHZuUzLXgZpTmZVOnE9_o29hz0_RCL4-USGS_CPqATEhxDRklonlnD_N_vEaAizxEALw_wcB\"\u003eHotel Akersloot\u003c\/a\u003e (10 minute drive from venue)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re happy to share that we’ve made a deal with a nearby hotel to offer our guests a special accommodation benefit during the event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuests\/Players are advised to book directly via the hotel’s website:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca class=\"x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x1ejq31n x18oe1m7 x1sy0etr xstzfhl x972fbf x10w94by x1qhh985 x14e42zd x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 x3ct3a4 xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x16tdsg8 xggy1nq x1a2a7pz x1s688f x1heor9g x1bvjpef xujl8zx\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelakersloot.nl\/kortingpaginas\/wicked-wood-games-bv\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" role=\"link\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.hotelakersloot.nl\/kortingpaginas\/wicked-wood-games-bv\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBooking details:\u003cbr\u003e•    A 10% discount is available on the Best Available Rate (BAR)\u003cbr\u003e•    Valid for stays from 14–18 May 2026\u003cbr\u003e•    Applicable to Standard Plus and Standard De Luxe rooms only\u003cbr\u003e•    The discount can be booked using the code DUTCHREGIONAL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note:\u003cbr\u003e•    The discount applies only to the BAR rate for the specified room types\u003cbr\u003e•    The hotel also offers other rate types (packages, flexible rates, non-refundable rates)\u003cbr\u003e•    Some of these rates may be lower than the 10% discount but come with different conditions, such as non-cancellation or payment 24 hours before arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHotel Akersloot\u003cbr\u003eGeesterweg 1a\u003cbr\u003e1921NV Akersloot\u003cbr\u003e+31 (0)251 36 18 88\u003cbr\u003einfo@akersloot.valk.nl\u003cbr\u003ewww.hotelakersloot.nl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCamping options:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.campingbakkum.nl\/?gad_source=1\u0026amp;gad_campaignid=1615456312\u0026amp;gbraid=0AAAAAC6Uuwu9FjePxzQQNs45Awy83s9U4\u0026amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA-YvMBhDtARIsAHZuUzIN6wtYy4T615Ad1H2pzKtkzcxtycEPgpYfSTbzWoLBICtUAqEwfI8aAmP1EALw_wcB\"\u003eCamping Bakkum\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eZeeweg 31\u003cbr\u003e1901NZ Castricum aan Zee\u003cbr\u003e+31 (0)251 661091\u003cbr\u003einfo@campingbakkum.nl\u003cbr\u003ewww.campingbakkum.nl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.campinggeversduin.nl\"\u003eCamping Geversduin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCamping Geversduin\u003cbr\u003eBeverwijkerstraatweg 205\u003cbr\u003e1901NH Castricum\u003cbr\u003e+31 (0)251-661095\u003cbr\u003einfo@campinggeversduin.nl\u003cbr\u003ewww.campinggeversduin.nl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eACL App \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake sure to always have the ACL app ready to go on your phone!
