What characterises the campsites in Austria?
Among the 15 top-rated campsites in Austria, 2 have a swimming pool, 13 are family-friendly and 14 welcome dogs. The average review score of this selection is 8.9/10, which shows that quality in Austria is high.
Which campsite suits you best depends on your travel party. Travelling with young children, look for a pool, entertainment and a safe play area. For peace and quiet, pick a smaller campsite or a spot just outside the busiest coastal towns. Camping with a dog, check the pet policy in advance.
Amenities: what to look out for
Amenities largely determine how much you enjoy your holiday. On each campsite's detail page, check for a swimming pool, sanitary facilities and hot showers, Wi-Fi, a restaurant or snack bar and a shop or bread service. For families, a paddling pool, playground and entertainment are often decisive.
Also note the pitch type. A comfort pitch with private sanitary facilities and a water connection costs more but adds convenience; a simple nature pitch is cheaper and quieter. Travelling by motorhome, check for a service point and sufficient electricity (amperage).
Best time to camp in Austria
Most campsites in Austria are open from spring through autumn. Peak season is July and August: that's when it's busiest, warmest and most expensive. Book well in advance for that period, especially at the most popular campsites.
For peace and lower prices, May, June and September are ideal. The weather is often still pleasant, nature is at its best and you have more choice of pitches.
