📄 Image slot — a simple canvas tent and a luxury suite tent facing the same dunes.
The dunes are the same; the evening around them is not. Here is where the money actually goes.
What the tiers change
| Layer | Budget camp | Luxury camp |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom | Shared block, cold water risk in winter | Attached, hot, often claw-foot absurdity |
| Distance | Often far from the dune ridge, ask the pin | Usually closer or private dune frontage |
| Evening | Shared buffet, communal fire, same music | Smaller ratios, better food, private seating |
| Warmth | Blankets issued; canvas is canvas | Heaters, hot-water bottles, insulation |
The honest verdict: in winter, the bathroom and warmth difference is the whole decision, the tent-vs-hotel guide handles the other half of that question, and the booking guide the questions to ask at either tier.
