Fantastic site. Reception is smart and modern with a good small shop which sells fresh bread and cakes. Check in was very friendly and efficient. Good size pitch with waste and water. Electricity is extra to the pitch fee so one to watch for running fridges etc in high temperatures or heating in cold. small beach with access to superb clean lake. Free limited number of sun beds and parasols. Kayak for two is 4 euros an hour and very enjoyable. Bikes for rent. The showers are top class. Very clean and modern. One of the best we have seen. The area is beautiful with plenty of places to visit and attractions to check out. Bus to Salzburg just down the road. About 29 Euros return for two people. Loved our stay here and we will be back one day. Thanks to the lovely helpful staff who were always ready with a smile to help with any information.

We spent two weeks camping in the "Apple Glade," a quaint little field with a tree offering shade. The camping has easy access to the lake, excellent sanitary facilities and a shop with a bakery and ice cream. It had everything we needed in a base of operations to explore the Salzburg-area. A paradise, indeed.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience at this campsite. Commons areas are heated up, and amazing showers and clean toilets. Also, we used the private sauna, and it was amazing. Friendly place, with stunning views of a lake and mountains. Breathtaking!

8 Very good

A camping with a beautifull view over the wolfgangsee, at some places you need to walk 3 minutes to the sanitary but overall that was great, good shower system and enough sinks, toilets and showers

8 Very good

Everything was fine but in the summer it is full to the last place and because there is a lot of people it gets very noisy even at night. But everything else is very good.
