Summary created out of 86 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.

    A beautiful and well-maintained cottage park that includes a campground and an RV area, which together create a really great atmosphere. We visited with two small children and a car full of toys and water toys. We’ll be back soon!

    We stayed in a chalet. The chalet is neat and has a nice, large porch where you can store plenty of stuff. The store is fine—just a typical campground store, nothing special. Fresh rolls every morning—they’re really delicious. The lake is wonderful for swimming or stand-up paddleboarding. The beaches aren’t very big, so we didn’t use them. After 8:00 p.m., you can take your dog to a section of the water to swim or splash around. We had a wonderful vacation. That’s mainly thanks to the beautiful surroundings and the fact that we were out and about a lot. But a day at the campground was also really nice. We didn’t see any entertainment programs, nor did we look for them—our teenager isn’t interested in that sort of thing. It’s quiet at the campground (almost) every evening around 10:00 p.m.

    Wij zaten in een chalet. Chalet is netjes en een fijne grote veranda waar je genoeg spullen op kwijt kan. Winkel is prima, gewoon een campingwinkel niet bijzonder. Elke ochtend verse broodjes, dat is erg lekker. Het meer is heerlijk om te zwemmen of te suppen. De strandjes zijn niet groot, hebben wij geen gebruik van gemaakt. Met de hond kan je na 20.00uur naar een deel van het water om te zwemmen of pootje te baden. Wij hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad. Komt vooral ook door de omgeving die prachtig is en wij veel op pad waren. Maar een dag op de camping was ook echt prima. Animatie niet gezien, ook niet naar gezocht, daar maakt onze puber geen gebruik van. Het is (bijna) elke avond rond 22.00uur stil op de camping.
