Best Campground in austria

C	Charlotte Nijenhuis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ No decent information at arrival ( for example about reservations for bread in the morning or where facilities are). Only cash payment available. I know it is a strange season, however letting people who made a reservation search for a parking spot (which costs you 3 euros a night!) because you let too many people in even after questions of paying guests is not acceptable. Tents that were placed within 50cm of eachother. Totally non-covid proof. Last but not least, if you have only 3 showers avaiable in a room of 3,5x2 meters you cannot let so many guests in! Even if you clean it 3 times a day. There is no space to put your clothes or get dressed. 2 showers were broken (no pole to hang the shower head for example) and the showercurtain I suspect being replaced once a month. Only postive thing: community space with working fridge and the surroundings.
P	Pe Will on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In the base this is a nice camping site. The surroundings, the mountains, all the green environment, nearby the river. Nice features like fire places on the site and down the river. A dry place with equipment. What we did not like: (1) the camping was more than full. Every spot was filled, mostly with campers. (Some campers came in the night and left in the morning, what about paying..?) Probably it was so cowedly because of COVID, but the policy of the camping manager was to accept everyone, although it was clear to everyone that the camping site was more than full with campers and with all the cars. (2) Besides this there were some visitors that were very noisy. Hard laughing and music during day and ...night. There was no management from the camp owner on this. (3) Please keep in mind that you cannot pay with bank card (?!) (4) One last thing, for this kind of wet regions the grass was too long for walking on the camping site. (5) The bath room / showers are very minimalistic, no privacy and far to small for this kind of camping site. Especially in this COVID times.(6) Last, there were some good countermeasures because of COVID19, like wearing mouth masks, but none of the camping personal used them and also almost none of the camping visitors when being in the bath rooms.
J	Julia Schmidt on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely cute little spot in the woods. Nice staff and huge area. Showers are a bit small perhaps and don’t offer a lot of privacy but didn’t bother us. They have a guest room with a freezer and fridge and a few tables where you can eat and sit or play cards. There is also some info material of the area provided. You can’t park your car next to your tent but you can unload near the grassy area and then park nearby. We loved it!
R	Richard van Dijk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice camping spot with just everything you need. Usually it's very quite and the views on the mountains are great. You have the option to order some bread for the next day and you can buy simple things like chips, coffee, beer, cheese, ham and jam in the shop at the camping. Unfortunately the sanitary area wasn't that clean and didn't smell too good as well. There's a washing machine for when you need to wash clothes. The prices are very reasonable and there are no ridiculous taxes and extra fees which in my experience a lot of other campsites are asking.
J	Jeroen van der Kooij on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Camping is way too full. Totally irresponsible of the owners. Only 3 toilets/showers and they easily let in over 250 people. A COVID and general health & safety hazard. People even were placed on parking sites because there was not enough regular place on the campsite’s field. Will NEVER come back here and would advise everybody to NOT visit this campsite. When the owner was addressed about these issues she simply shrugged and let more people in.
M	Mijnheer Severe on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful surroundings. Dissapointing camping site: overcrowded small camper spaces and a meadow with barely Amy Trees for tents. Outdated sanitair. The iddylic landscape deserves better!
P	Paula Melicherčíková on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely, great amenities. There is no need to book (we came in the middle of the summer), the bathroom was clean, kitchen as well, there is also a washing machine available. Wifi is working near reception. Guys at the reception were really nice, good English, friendly and helpful. Beautiful view which surprises you in the morning is the most you can ask for.
T	TxicoTxeco on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very good camping with clean showers, bonfires and a mini market in the morning where you can get a cup of coffee. Paid 23 EUR a night for 2 adults, a tent and a car sovit was not the cheapest but fair given it was in the middle of a national park. A great jumping off point for hikes.
