We stayed in a little house and adored it! Clean, lovely bathroom and close proximity to the lake. The location is great for exploring all of the Wolfgangsee. Few kitchen items would help but grateful for the tea towels and toilet roll! We loved our holiday there.

Awesome camping place, one of the best I have ever been to. Everything is high end, super well equipped, the two restaurants are of very high quality, both food wise and from service quality perspective, the views are amazing. The spots itself are spacious, you can rent out adapter cables for electricity, showers, washing rooms and toilets are clean and well trrated. It is a bit pricier than others are, but considering what you get, I would still say, it is great value for what you get. Would gladly come back, thank you for the great time there :)

Big camping by the lake, family friendly and also a great place for different activities (bikes, water sports, hiking). Though crowded, one gets a sense of privacy and one can enjoy a lot of activities by the lake.
