The camping is amazing because of its location / views (10 minute walk to Grindelwald) & nice staff. It has a freezer and fridge available as well. However, for its size the amount of toilets and showers is not adequate. Also, the majority of pitches for cars are gravel, so we had to ask to switch to one of the fewer grass pitches to be able to set up our other half of our rooftop tent. Also, the campsite is not directly at the river as the map suggests but there is a dam/dike in between (so from the pitch no direct access to the water, which is not a big deal but worthy to note).
If you have an upcoming booking here or are interested in booking please note than upon arrival the sign is misleading “do not enter” and “gps is wrong do not drive here” that is for everyone that does not have a booking with the campground ◡̈ Yeah it’s self check in - but by any issues you simply call the number provided within their clearly stated office hours and they’re quickly with you. Both the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, it’s contagious how much they love the area and care for their land. Facilities are well thought out, very clean + well kept in addition this campground has amazing shared spaces for its campers/tenters. Super central location making enjoying the mountains very accessible without having to move your whole camper around. I can’t wait to visit again, found my new favourite spot.
The campground has a great position with surrounding mountains and walking distance towards the village, trails and several gondola’s. ||It is recommended to book online so that you can print the ticket by arrival because of the unmanned …
Probably the most beautiful camping I've ever been with very tall mountains towering around it. Everything from the camping was really nice with enough tables for cooking and sitting inside for tent people. There was also a drying room and the bathroom was very clean. Small complaints were that there were not enough showers, so sometimes there were small queues and all the tents were really close together in the tents space, you don't really get your own space. Biggest downside is that this camping is just like the rest of Grindelwald very expensive, we paid 70€ per night for 2 people with 2 small tents.
We came here years ago and it was great, but today I arrived with my two newborns to a horrid camping space. We literally parked in what looks like a road, with dirt and small gravel on the ground. Cars pass by our table. The kids cannot play on this awful place. There is no shade. There is no playground. And it is overcrowded. The other permanent vans stay on the grass, but we paid a good amount of money for a parking lot. I am very very sad and disappointed. Even on Google maps it looks grassy, so this was just a plain scam. Who in the world thought this was a good idea shame on you.The mountains are amazing! This is the only good part.
One of my favorite campsites on my backpacking trip through Switzerland. It has a small field for tents and therefore not too many people. Space for probably 10 tents max, the rest is for campervans. It has very friendly and helpful staff at the reception - they were very kind to offer me help with laundry when I came without cash nor detergent. For 10 CHF I got both coins for washer and dryer and a cup of detergent which I greatly appreciated after hiking in the same clothes for a few days and nothing seemed to dry in the rains. I met the most wonderful backpackers here and we shared meals in our covered kitchen. Restrooms and showers were clean and plenty. They also have shelves and fridge storage for the food - don’t store food in the tent at this campground, foxes will find anything and everything that smells of food and will bite through your tent. Campsite has multiple signs about it and one backpacker lost an entire bag of food overnight. Tent field did not flood in the heavy rain. Views all around are incredible. There are no cows with bells nor town bell nearby to guarantee a quiet and peaceful night sleep. I’d love to be back. Thank you for your kindness ❤️
