Pure nature, lake view & Glamping Camping in Tirol

Last updated on 20.04.2023

Camping holidays are enjoying ever-increasing popularity and Tirol offers a selection of over 85 options. The choice for campers ranges from tranquil spots in the midst of nature, to a luxurious tree house. Incidentally, wild camping is not permitted in the heart of the Alps, but that is no cause for sadness: Tirolean campsites offer everything you could possibly wish for and more.

Small and sophisticated

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 enthusiasts 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 40 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 cabins 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!

For luxury campers

Holidays in the midst of nature with an extra portion of luxury await campers at Zugspitz Resort campsite in Ehrwald in the Tirolean Zugspitz Arena. Campers can enjoy all the amenities of the adjacent 4-star superior Zugspitz Resort, including the 1,500 m2 play and water world and restaurant. At the campsite itself, guests can choose between 100 standard and 98 comfort pitches with extra space all year round: both offer, amongst other amenities, access to the deluxe bathhouse with 35 bathing rooms.

Ferienparadies Natterer See Holiday is a veritable all-rounder and current holder of the ADAC Camping Award. The facility is located a mere seven kilometres from Innsbruck and right next to the idyllic Lake Natterer. The 5-star campsite offers ample space and modern infrastructure in all price categories: from standard pitches for tents and minivans to the luxury category in XXL format (160m²). Those who prefer “glamping” to camping holidays are also well catered for at Lake Natterer: in addition to charming wooden bunk-houses for two, the holiday paradise offers exclusive safari lodge tents for five to eight persons. These are fully equipped with a kitchen, rain shower and panoramic terrace with barbecue grill. The Family & Panorama Wood Lodges provide an alternative and equally luxurious option: these comfortable wooden tree houses can be booked all year round and offer a close-to-nature holiday experience thanks to their huge panoramic window facade.

Those who like to sleep outside but still hanker after the comfort of a hotel room will find the perfect compromise in the glamping tents at Gerhardhof in Wildermieming. Here, guests sleep snugly under a tent roof in a natural wood bed complete with luscious bed linen. The tents even include a sofa, table and private wooden terrace with deckchairs. Clean, modern sanitary facilities with washing machines and tumble dryers are available in the immediate vicinity. Furthermore, Gerhardhof in Wildermieming offers a further 100 pitches for caravans and mobile homes in three different categories and a tent site, as well as a private swimming pond, combined with wonderful peace and quiet and impressive views.

Sustainability and the highest level of comfort

Natürlich HELL campsite in Fügen in the Zillertal is proof that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand: it bears the Austrian eco-label and is a certified environmentally friendly campsite. The campsite uses solar energy, has green roofs and low-energy buildings. The nature-oriented site offers a total of around 200 pitches encompassing some 70 to 120m² each. The disabled accessible and comfortable building with washrooms and sanitary facilities is modern and spacious, where guests can also rent a private bathroom.

For Families

Boredom? No chance of that happening here: Erlebnis Comfort Camping Aufenfeld in the Zillertal Valley is paradise for active holidaymakers and families who are always on the lookout for the next adventure. A huge range of activities are possible here, from tennis to go-karting and archery. And who can claim to have visited a western town during a camping holiday in Tirol? Aufenfeld leisure park on the campsite grounds offers the opportunity to do just that – where “Mount Lake City” with a riding area for pony rides, a sheriff’s station and a western nature trail await. There is also a 4,000 m² bathing lake, a 380 m² indoor swimming pool and a climbing hall. A sauna area panders to those wanting to indulge in the essential pleasures of rest and relaxation.

Tirol Camp in Fieberbrunn in the Pillerseetal is also ideal for families.

Camping on the Lake

Water temperatures of up to 26 de-grees and excellent water quality make swimming in Lake Reintaler See particularly pleasant. Little ones can rlet off steam in the playground with trampoline, climbing rope garden and slides, while grown-ups relax in the wellness area. And if you get hungry after a swim, Brantlhof Guesthouse will tempt you with culinary specialities.
