    A campground located in a beautiful area, surrounded by nature but close to a charming little village with all the amenities.
    Great indoor space for kids and adults, a laundry facility, and excellent services.
    Competitive pricing, especially considering the free access to the pool with a slide.

    Well-equipped. The service is fine. The restrooms are clean. Unfortunately, a noisy train line and a soccer field are right next door.

    Solide ausgestattet. Der Service ist in Ordnung. Die sanitären Anlagen sind sauber. Leider grenzen eine laute Bahnlinie und ein Fußballplatz direkt an.

    An affordable campground, great for kids, no entertainment program, but there is a playground and a playroom. The pool is within walking distance, though it’s easier to get there by car given the hills. Swimming pool access is free with a campground stay.
    We stayed in a mobile home for 3 weeks; after 1 week, the mice turned out to be very active and visible, despite consistently putting away all food properly.
    We reported this to the front desk; they had never experienced this before. They said a solution would be arranged that same day; this turned out to be the provision of one very old and dirty mouse trap three days later, which we had to return to the front desk after use.

    The campground is a good base for various activities, and the Kärnten Karte is highly recommended.

    N iet dure camping, erg leuk voor kinderen, geen animatie, wel een speeltuin en speelzolder. Zwembad op loopafstand, met de auto is prettiger gezien de hellingen. Zwembad is gratis bij verblijf op de camping.
    Wij verbleven in een stacaravan voor 3 weken, na 1 week bleken de muizen toch zeer actief en zichtbaar, ondanks alle etenswaren consequent goed opruimen.
    Gemeld bij de receptie; hadden ze nog nooit eerder meegemaakt. Dezelfde dag zou er een oplossing geregeld worden; dit bleek 3 dagen later verstrekking van 1 zeer verouderde en vieze muizenval te zijn, welke we na gebruik weer dienden in te leveren bij de receptie.

    De camping is een goede uitvalsbasis voor diverse activiteiten, waarbij de Kärnten Karte zeer aan te raden is.

    The location is quite nice along the Drau River. Other than that, there isn't much within walking distance. The washhouse isn't clean at any time of day. The gray water disposal area is much too cramped. We wouldn't stay there again.

    Lage ganz nett an der Drau. Sonst nicht sehr viel in Laufweite. Waschhaus nicht sauber, zu keiner Tageszeit. Grauwasserentsorgung viel zu eng. Wir würden den Platz nicht nochmal anfahren.
