Summary created out of 97 reviews

The park is beautifully situated directly on Lake Ossiach with breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. Guests praise the modern, clean mobile homes and the friendly, helpful staff at reception and the restaurant. The location offers direct water access with multiple beaches, jetties, a playground and swimming pool, ideal for families. However, many guests experience disappointment regarding the strict dog rules: dogs are not allowed to swim at the beaches during the day, and the separate dog bathing area near the boathouse is neglected and difficult to access.

    We spent a week at Europarcs Ossiacher See in Carinthia in a mobile home for two people. A very nice campground with a lake. Lots of beautiful hiking trails starting right from the lake. Great mountains all around. Unfortunately, many of the restaurants were closed in October.
    Our mobile home was great—very nicely furnished and clean. The … staff was very friendly and helpful.
    Thanks to the great location, you can be in Slovenia in about 40 minutes and, depending on where you’re going, even in Italy in no time.
    We went up to the Gerlitzen Alpe and the Dobratsch, where the views were absolutely stunning.

    Wir waren eine Woche im europarcs Ossiacher See in Kärnten in einem Mobilheim für zwei Personen. Sehr schöner Campingplatz mit See. Viele wunderschöne Wanderwege direkt vom See aus. Tolle Berge ringsum. Leider hatten die vielen Restaurants geschlossen im Oktober.
    Unser Mobilheim war super, sehr schön eingerichtet und sauber. Der Service ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
    Durch die super Lage ist man in ca. 40 Minuten in Slowenien und je nach dem wo man hin will auch gleich in Italien.
    Wir waren oben auf der Gerlitzen Alpe und am Dobratsch mit herrlichster Aussicht.

    What a beautiful Europarcs resort. The cottages are fully equipped. Great in both summer and winter. With views you can only dream of.

    We were there with four children. There’s plenty to do in the area to keep you entertained. We really enjoyed Familywald, as well as the AdlerArena and the waterfalls. And for shopping with our teenager, the … Atrio shopping center was highly recommended.

    Fresh rolls every morning and a very friendly park manager. Every day, she took the time to chat with us and provide us with all the information about activities in the area.

    We just left, but we’re already homesick!

    Wat een prachtig park van Europarcs. Huisjes van alle gemakken voorzien. Fijn in zowel Zomer als Winter. Met uitzicht waar je alleen maar van kan dromen.

    Wij waren er met 4 kinderen. Er is genoeg in de buurt om je goed te vermaken. We vonden familywald heel leuk. Net als de AdlerArena en de watervallen. En voor het shoppen met de tiener was het winkelcentrum Atrio een aanrader.

    Iedere ochtend verse broodjes en een hele vriendelijke parkmanager. Iedere dag opnieuwe nam ze de moeite om een praatje te maken en ons te voorzien van alle informatie van activiteiten in de buurt.

    We zijn pas net weg, maar hebben nu al heimwee!

    We stayed here with our dog for the second part of our honeymoon; we had a 6-person house with all the amenities. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and took good care of everything for us. The cottage is clean, with a nice sound system and a SMART TV. It’s also equipped with air conditioning and heated floors. The restaurant had … limited hours, but it’s super cozy and serves good food. We’ll definitely be coming back here in the future!

    Wij hebben hier met onze hond ons 2e deel van onze huwelijksreis verbleven, we hadden een 6 persoons huis met alles erop en aan. Zeer vriendelijke mensen bij de receptie die alles netjes voor je regelen. Het huisje is schoon met een mooie muziekinstallatie en een SMART tv. Tevens voorzien van airco en vloerverwarming. Het restaraunt was maar beperkt open, deze is wel super gezzelig met goed eten. We zullen hier vast in de toekomst nog een weer heen gaan!

    Beautiful vacation complex with access to and a view of the lake. We stayed there with the whole family and had booked three apartments. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating. I’d also like to mention the on-site restaurant. Reasonable prices for excellent cuisine (no flavor enhancers). Very friendly service.
    I highly recommend the entire resort!

    Schöne Ferienanlage mit Zugang und Blick auf den See. Wir waren mit der gesamten Familie dort und hatten 3 Apartments gebucht. Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Servis an der Reception. Auch möchte ich das dazugehörige Restaurant erwähnen. Faire Preise für sehr gute Küche (ohne Geschmacksverstärker). Sehr freundliches Service.
    Die gesamte Anlage kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!
