Camping holidays near thermal springs

If you're travelling by camper van and would like to really switch off, you might want to choose a campsite in the immediate vicinity of one of Styria's nine thermal spas. From the southernmost spa town, Bad Radkersburg, to GrimmingTherme in Bad Mitterndorf, visitors can relax and unwind in soothing thermal waters. Some campsites near thermal springs:

Camping on a farm

Fresh, clean countryside air. As soon as you arrive, you will be greeted with the scent of herbs and animals. It is quiet and peaceful, and nature is waiting to be explored.

Children are bound to have a wonderful time amidst the farm animals and will quickly find their new best friend. Meanwhile, Mum and Dad can relax and learn more about local herbs or how the farmers prepare traditional foods. Some campsites in Styria as the Campingplatz am Badesee in Mühlen, the Campingplatz Da Bräuhauser or the Campingplatz Olachgut are located right next to farms, which will add a few more colourful facets to your camping holiday.

Camping in the mountains

When you get up in the morning and are greeted by the breathtaking southern rockfaces of the Dachstein or other mountain ranges in the alpine north and your gaze slowly wanders over the impressive scenery: That's when you know, you're on a camping holiday in Styria.

The campsites in the north of the federal state are ideal starting points for hikes and mountain bike tours. Some of the sites are located along main cycling routes such as the Mur cycle path and the Enns cycle path or along the "From Glacier to Wine" hiking route.

Camping by a lake

If you love the element of water, you should set up camp right by a lake. Your children will love to play in the shallow waters along the shore. Water sports enthusiasts can go swimming, kayaking, stand-up paddling or water skiing. And if you are looking for absolute peace and quiet, you might want to go fishing.

A cosy, homelike atmosphere from waking up in the morning to the beautiful sunset at night: That's something you'll experience, for instance, at Lake Sulmsee, Lake Stubenbergsee or Lake Röcksee. All three campsite are also located along the Styrian Wine Country cycling route. The early bird catches the worm – and if you book early, you might get a spot right by the water.

Camping with DOGS

Four-legged friends are welcome at numerous campsites in Styria. On site, you will also find dog washing areas or dog showers. Adhering to a few simple rules ensures everyone gets to enjoy their holidays to the fullest:

Some campsites have designated dog toilets for canines. If there isn't one, you should walk your dog outside the campsite if possible. Please do not "mistake" the playground or the beach for a dog toilet.
The dog's waste should be disposed of properly. This is the only way to keep the campsite clean.
Dogs should not run around unsupervised, as this could put children in danger.

Campsites without dogs

A camping holiday with their four-legged friend is something many dog owners look forward to all year. However, for a variety of reasons, such as pet allergies or concerns about the safety of small children, some holidaymakers specifically look for campsites without dogs. And that's a wish that the holiday destination of Styria can easily fulfil with campsites as the 50plus Campingpark Fisching, the Camping Sulmsee or the Campingplatz Unzmarkt-Frauenburg.

Winter camping

In Styria, camping enthusiasts can also pursue their passion in the winter months: in the middle of the mountains in ski resorts such as the 4-Mountain Ski Area in Schladming or right by a thermal spa such as the one in Bad Waltersdorf.

Winter campsites are much less frequented than the ones open in summer, and it's precisely this tranquillity that has its special charm.

Whether you prefer cross-country skiing, skiing, winter hiking or relaxing at a thermal spa: Winter campsites can be found in all regions of Styria, and camping in winter is a truly unique experience.
