Camping in Tirol: New Campsites, Glamping and Outdoor Adventure

Last updated on 03.06.2026 | Tirol Werbung

Camping holidays are becoming increasingly popular and Tirol offers a wide variety of options, with more than 100 campsites in summer and around 80 in winter. The choice for campers ranges from tranquil spots in the midst of nature to luxurious tree house accommodation. Almost two million overnight stays were recorded at Tirol’s campsites in summer 2025 alone, with the majority of visitors coming from Germany, the Netherlands and Austria. Over the past ten years, camping has also grown significantly in importance, with its share of total summer overnight stays rising from 5.5 to 8.6 per cent. While wild camping may not be permitted in the Heart of the Alps, Tirol’s campsites cater for every taste and budget, from simple and traditional to stylish and exclusive. Numerous new developments and recently modernised facilities also highlight just how dynamic and innovative the sector has become.

Small but perfectly formed

Mountain Camp Pitztal is a good choice for those seeking peace and quiet whilst enjoying nature. This small and natural campsite in Jerzens offers pitches for just 38 motorhomes and caravans on an idyllic site, while tents can be pitched on the meadow around the waterfall. Moreover, the Alpine Bungalow is available for hire, which can comfortably accommodate one to five persons. The Mountain Camp’s highlight is a pond with jetty and sunbathing lawn, where you can swim and fish! The campsite is also an ideal starting point for mountain en thusiasts to embark on hikes, summit tours and excursions by mountain bike.

The family-friendly Lechtal Camping Vorderhornbach is located in the middle of Lechtal Nature Park. The 50 pitches are nestled amidst the impressive mountain panorama of the nature park region. In addition to pitches and tent sites, guests can also enjoy comfortable cab ins and rustic caravans. On-site facilities include the (public) nature adventure pool and a bistro for days when you don’t feel like cooking. The Lechtal cycle path and Lech hiking trail can be wonderfully discovered from here!

Following extensive refurbishments, Campingplatz Judenstein has been completely transformed. Situated in a sunny location close to the provincial capital of Innsbruck, the site re-opened in April 2026 as a fully accessible campsite covering around one hectare. Combining comfort with a close-to-nature holiday experience, the campsite offers around 40 to 45 pitches, ten long-stay pitches and a spacious tent meadow.

For luxury campers

The facilities are complemented by a variety of glamping options, including the new luxury Glamping Pods in the “Secret Koi Garden”, cosy sleeping barrels and safari lodge tents for 5 to 8 persons, complete with kitchen, rain shower and panoramic terrace. The Family & Panorama Wood Lodges provide an equally luxurious alternative: these comfortable wooden tree houses can be booked year-round and offer a close-to-nature holiday experience thanks to their huge panoramic window façade.
