Extra Tent, Extra Fun: Costs and Conditions for Adding Supplementary Equipment to Your Pitch in 2026
Planning a camping holiday is easier when every extra is clear before you arrive. If you are wondering whether you can add an extra tent or an extra vehicle to your pitch in 2026, the answer is simple: at Camping Le Moulin de Paulhiac, the supplementary equipment fee is €3 per night. Knowing this in advance helps you organise your stay, manage your budget, and avoid surprises at check-in.
Whether you are travelling with family, meeting friends on site, or simply need more flexibility on your pitch, this guide explains the costs and conditions for adding supplementary equipment to your pitch in 2026. You will also find practical planning tips, related pitch charges, and useful information to help you prepare your stay in the Dordogne.
What does “supplementary equipment” mean on a pitch?
For 2026, the campsite applies a specific nightly supplement for:
- An extra tent
- An extra vehicle
The listed fee is €3 per night for a “supplementary tent or vehicle.”
This charge is separate from the standard pitch package. In other words, if your booking already includes the main pitch setup, adding extra equipment beyond that package may trigger this additional fee.
What is included in the standard pitch package?
Pitch pricing is based on a package for 2 persons + caravan or tent + 1 car. The campsite offers several pitch types, including:
- Privilege pitch
- Nature pitch
- Grand Confort pitch
That means the standard booking already covers:
- Two people
- One caravan or one tent
- One car
If you bring another tent or another vehicle, the €3 per night supplement applies.
How much does an extra tent or extra vehicle cost in 2026?
The 2026 rate is straightforward:
| Add-on | 2026 Price |
|---|---|
| Extra tent or extra vehicle | €3 per night |
This is a useful rate to factor into your holiday budget, especially if your group plans to spread out across more than one sleeping setup or arrives with more than one vehicle.
When does the extra equipment fee apply?
The €3 per night supplement applies when you add equipment that goes beyond what is already included in your pitch package.
Common situations where it may apply
The fee is relevant in situations such as:
- A family books one pitch and wants to add a second small tent
- Friends travelling together arrive with an additional vehicle
- Campers using the included main tent or caravan also want extra setup space for another tent
The key point is simple: the standard pitch already includes one caravan or one tent and one car. Anything additional in those categories falls under the supplementary equipment charge.
Pitch prices in 2026: useful context for planning
If you are budgeting your holiday, it helps to look at the extra equipment fee alongside the main pitch rates.
Privilege pitch prices in 2026
For a Privilege pitch (2 persons + caravan/tent + 1 car), the rates are:
- 11 May – 03 July and 28 August – 05 September: 16 € per night
- 04 – 10 July: 19 € per night
- 11 – 17 July: 24 € per night
- 18 July – 14 August: 29 € per night
- 15 – 21 August: 34 € per night
These dates make it easier to estimate the impact of any add-ons. For example, an additional tent or vehicle remains a fixed €3 per night, regardless of the period listed in the published tariff.
Other useful pitch supplements
Several other pitch-related charges may also be relevant when planning your stay:
| Supplement | 2026 Price |
|---|---|
| Additional person (age 10+) | €4 per night |
| Electricity connection (6 A) | €6 per night |
| Wastewater drainage | €3 per night |
| Pet fee | €5 per night |
| Visitor fee | €3 per person, per day |
| Booking fee | €20 per stay |
| Child under 10 years | Free |
| Child under 3 years | Free |
| Infant under 1 year | Free |
These figures are especially helpful if you are building a complete estimate for a family stay, a group trip, or a longer holiday.
How to book supplementary equipment for your pitch
The best way to avoid confusion is to declare all equipment in advance when arranging your stay.
Best practice before arrival
To make your check-in smoother:
- Decide exactly what you are bringing
- Main tent or caravan
- Number of vehicles
- Any extra tent
- Check your pitch package
- Remember that the base setup includes 1 tent or caravan + 1 car
- Add supplementary equipment when booking
- This helps ensure your reservation reflects your actual setup
- Review current booking information on the official website
- Full details of pitch and accommodation rates are available at https://www.camping-dordogne-moulindepaulhiac.com/
Declaring extras in advance is especially important during busier holiday periods, when pitch organisation and on-site logistics matter even more.
Why declaring an extra tent or vehicle matters
Some campers see an extra tent or vehicle as a minor detail, but it can affect how a pitch is used and managed. Clear booking information helps the campsite organise arrivals, occupancy, and services more efficiently.
For guests, this creates three practical benefits:
- More accurate budgeting before travel
- Faster check-in on arrival
- Better pitch planning for comfort and space
In short, a small planning step can make the start of your holiday noticeably easier.

Practical tips before adding supplementary equipment
If you want to make the most of your pitch, keep these tips in mind.
1. Confirm what is already included
Before adding anything, check whether your booking already covers the essentials you need. For pitches, the included setup is 2 persons + caravan or tent + 1 car.
2. Keep your equipment list simple
A clear list helps avoid misunderstandings. Note the number of:
- Tents
- Vehicles
- People
- Pets
- Optional services such as electricity
3. Budget for all supplements together
A small fee can add up over several nights. If you are adding an extra tent or vehicle, it is smart to calculate it alongside:
- Electricity: €6 per night
- Pet fee: €5 per night
- Additional person (10+): €4 per night
- Visitor fee: €3 per person, per day
4. Check booking and cancellation terms before confirming
For any cancellation received 30 days or more before the start date of the holiday, 75% of the deposit will be refunded. The booking fee is retained by the campsite.
If the cancellation is made less than 29 days before the planned start date, the deposit paid at the time of reservation is retained as compensation and is not refunded, except in cases of force majeure.
In all cases of cancellation, the processing and management fees are retained by the provider. The provider also reserves the right to re-let the pitch and/or accommodation without any obligation to pay a refund or compensation.
