Find your own spot at our camping

A large flat area, surrounded by water and forest
Our 5 hectares property is a NATURA2000 area. We do not offer electricity, so you can find your perfect spot somewhere on the land.

The river Dolore and a sidetrack are running through the land
The soft sound of the flowing streams is relaxing and on hot days it offers a cooling down. Do you like a spot near the water or more between trees?

Tent, rooftoptent or camper. Feel welcome!
Driving up the land with your car requires a real 4WD car. We usually have 1 or 2 spots for regular camper vans. Tents can come with a regular car, bike or motorbike.

Start your own camp fire
Gather wood from the land and start your own bon fire. Usually possible all year through.

Free use of the outdoor kitchen
In our outdoor kitchen you can cook, eat and do the dishes. We have warm water available. Free use!

Dry toilet & Wood fired shower
Eco-friendly dry toilet and heat up your own shower to have comfortable warm water.
