Comparing amenities in Austria

Amenities largely determine how much you enjoy your holiday. On each campsite's detail page in Austria, check for a swimming pool, sanitary facilities and hot showers, Wi-Fi, a restaurant or snack bar and a shop or bread service. For families, a paddling pool, playground and entertainment are often decisive.

Consider the kind of pitch too. A spacious comfort pitch with its own sanitary facilities adds convenience at a higher price, while a nature pitch is cheaper and quieter. For motorhomes, a service point and enough power matter.

In Austria most campsites run from spring to autumn. July and August are peak season (busy, hot and most expensive), so reserve early for those months.

For more quiet and softer prices, the shoulder season (May, June, September) is attractive: pleasant weather, fine scenery and plenty of pitch choice.
