    A campground with lots of (or almost exclusively) Dutch people and little privacy. It might be fun if you’re with a family of friends, for example, but for our family (with two kids aged 11 and 13), it wasn’t quite our thing. Luckily, we were parked right at the front on a somewhat more spacious and open spot. But we’d really like a bit more privacy. It is quiet in the evening, though, and the soccer field next door is actually pretty fun! In the nearby village, you can only pay with cash, just like at the campground itself. Convenient: the train station is really close by, and the S-Bahn lines are free with the Hohe Tauern Card, which you receive upon arrival (or by email).

    Camping met veel (of bijna alleen maar) Nederlanders en weinig privacy. Misschien leuk als je bijv met een bevriend gezin bent, maar voor ons gezin (met 2 kinderen van 11 en 13) niet helemaal ons ding. Gelukkig stonden we helemaal vooraan op een wat ruimere en vrijere plek. Maar wij willen graag wat meer privacy. Wel rustig in de avond en het voetbalveld ernaast is best wel leuk! In het dorp vlakbij kun je alleen met cash betalen net als op de camping zelf. Handig; treinstation is echt vlakbij en de s-lijnen zijn gratis met de hohe tauerncard die je krijgt bij aankomst (of per mail).
