Guest Reviews
Comfortable cabin in caravan park set on lakefront with beautiful scenery. Nice to be able to swim in lake and small supermarket at reception. Reasonable wifi but limited free amount each day. Kids could join in activities at kids centre (mostly designed for under 10yrs) but boys enjoyed soccer match. Free access to Interlaken pool included with camping card and kids loved using the waterslide and diving towers. Didn’t have time to catch free ferry to Interlaken unfortunately. (Free bus to town with camping card too). Would stay here again
The location was great, just out of the centre of Interlaken, with easy bus route to get us there and back. Beautiful lake Thun scenery. Restaurant on the caravan grounds was great. Overall, my wife and l strongly recommend this location.👍🏻
Property owners were very nice and friendly, location is great to get to sightseeing and small town around there
Good value for money and in a great location :- The location is wonderful in Interlaken, there is a service store for available products, the caravan is cute, it has what it takes for a family with 3 children to stay for a tax day .. Pleasant, good, not spacious but reasonable. The main thing is the location and having a clean bed to sleep in. Very good value for money. Good service in case of faults .. Relatively low availability of place owners in the morning and evening. It does not matter if there are no faults in the facility and if the trailer works and everything is in order. But Monica and Calvin are very nice. Suitable for young families or those who spend all day in nature and come to sleep.
Everything from the location to the views and cleanliness. All in all, it’s the best camping I’ve been to, by far and I’ve been to many. The receptionist who receives you and checks you, very endearing, the kind of person you like to meet when you arrive in another country and you get a little lost. They are lucky to have a person like her. We will always recommend this campsite if we can and will return. I liked everything, I found everything perfect.
Like everything in here. The location was perfect, just outside the bus stop. The lake thun view was spectacular, my neighbour in front of our camper accidentally welcomed us and gave warning about the heater. The camper itself was clean and comfortable. Actually it can fit for 6 pax, but can be overwhelmed if luggage were included. Claudia at the receptions was so helpful, we arrived precisely at 4pm and she easily helped us check in and explained things (inc deposit). At first we couldn't find our camper, and took the wrong side of the path, so we went back to the reception and there she was. Would definitely come back some day, here
Our stay was truly delightful from check-in to check-out. The lady receptionist was exceptionally gracious, providing us with helpful explanations and guidance throughout our stay. The location itself was a highlight, situated right beside the tranquil waters of Lake Thun. The stunning view of the lake and the surrounding mountains was simply breathtaking and added to the overall charm of the experience.
The cabin and the kitchen was fully equipped. During our stay, the Kid's Summer Program is on, so we can send our kids there, while we had our own activities. The kids really enjoy the program. There are a playground for the kids. The in-house store provides all the needs during our stay. There are also washing machines if you need one. The most terrific thing is the lake!! We swam in the lake everyday! It was very nice, and the kids really love it. We recommend to bring your swim shoes, because the lake ground is a bit stony. The bus stop is right in front of the camping area, with 30-minute headtime. So you can go to the city center easily. You can also go to the city center by using the boat, also with 30-minute headtime. There is also an in-house restaurant, if you are not in-favour for cooking, just go there.
Very welcoming reception at arrival. Great location. Good value for money. Although there was a mix up in the booking system, it was sorted out not only quickly, but also solved in a way we would not have dreamed of. This made us very happy. The staff is very approachable and quick to solve any issue. We will definitely come back next year!
Great location by the lake. A very comfortable house. I did not expect such a successful stay. The price includes a free bus to the center or a ferry. In addition, the price of the stay included admission to the municipal swimming pool in Interlaken. I highly recommend it, I think we will return there someday!
