  • Lovely lakeside park with impressive views of Mount Petzen’s peak
  • A five-minute drive from the mountain’s ski slopes and hiking trails
  • Playground, restaurant with a terrace and pedalo hire
Amp up your Austrian hol by staying at the lovely Lakeside Petzen Glamping, a spot sandwiched between the eastern Karawanks mountains, a fab forest and a big body of water in the country’s South Carinthia region. While you may peer at the pics of this park and think nothing could top the surrounding landscapes, the amenities sure do give them a run for their money. There is a restaurant with an outdoor terrace suspended above Lake Pirkdorfer for drinking in the view as you dine on Austrian cuisine. The extras available at this park are also mighty appealing: think a daily breakfast basket delivered straight to your door, and paddleboards and pedal boats for hire. Swims are fantastic here too – the lake is one of the warmest in Europe for bathing, with water so clean it’s considered to be of drinking quality. Being in a rural area, this park is also close to biking and hiking routes catering to various levels, including those at the 2,125-metre-high Mount Petzen, just over a five-minute drive away. As the site is open all year round, ventures to the Völkermarkt are possible in colder as well as warmer weather, with skiing slopes to seek out on Petzen when snow's falling. Got energetic young travellers with you? The playground should tire them out come rain or shine.

What customers say

Great lakeside spot with awesome mountain views. Staff are super friendly and the food's a ripper! Facilities are mostly clean, though a bit old. Some folks found glamping access confusing. WiFi can be dodgy.

Disliked As the last stop of our journey, we wanted to camp at this wonderful place. We had already made our reservation in advance. When we arrived and checked in, we informed the receptionist that unfortunately we had to leave at 6:00 a.m. the next morning and could not stay any longer. The lady told us that it was absolutely impossible, as the gate only opens automatically at 7:00 a.m., and that’s the earliest time anyone can leave the premises. The situation was completely absurd. We explained that due to a family issue we had to leave and could not wait. Unfortunately, this was a problem they said they could not solve!

Since we experienced no flexibility or willingness to help, we were unable to take our camping spot. I believe that a place of such high standard should show at least some flexibility—especially since our request was as simple as asking to be let out at 6:00 a.m. To make matters worse, she even suggested that we sleep in the parking lot! With our small child, we had no choice but to head home. Thank you!!!

Liked Sehr freundliches Personal!

Absolut traumhafter Blick über den See auf die Berge!

Besuch des Restaurants, welches nur wenige Schritte vom Stellplatz entfernt ist, unbedingt zu empfehlen! Spitzenküche zu sehr moderaten Preisen!
Jeden Tag gibt es ein fantastisches Menü mit regionalen Speisen.

Disliked Sanitäreinrichtungen zwar sauber, aber sehr in die Jahre gekommen....

Da sollte dringend investiert werden!

Hierfür einen Stern Abzug...

Local attractions

Not had enough of loping round lakes? Then it's good news: there are six more to visit within a 20-kilometre radius of this pretty park placed near the Austrian-Slovenian border. If you’d rather cycle than walk, trails in the area include the family-friendly Steinerberg, the underground road on the Slovenian side of Petzen mountain and the scenic path next to the Drau river. And for culture? Wander around the Werner Berg Museum (10 minutes’ drive) to see works of the eponymous artist, or meander towards the Museum Liaunig (20 minutes) for its ever-changing art displays. Other places to add to the agenda include the Freizeitanlagen Walderlebniswelt Klopeiner (20 minutes), an adventure centre in a forest, and the Vogelpark Turnersee bird park (25 minutes). There’s also the highest viewing tower in the world – the Pyramidenkogel Tower at Wörther See (an hour and five minutes) – and the miniature models at Minimundus (45 minutes). In colder weather, get going on a guided snowshoe trip on Hochobir (25 minutes), slide down Mount Petzen on a sledge, or just wander through the wintry landscape. To escape from the chill, relax in the KärntenTherme Warmbad-Villach baths (an hour and five minutes) or get the kids warm in the Freizeitanlagen Walderlebniswelt Klopeiner indoor playground.
