  • Peaceful and pretty site in the Swiss Alps, close to riverside trails
  • Within half an hour's drive of several thermal baths/spas
  • Restaurant with a terrace, play area and a pétanque court on site
Just simply spectacular... As you may have figured out from the pictures, Camping Simplonblick is a scenic and spacious place, made up of green grounds, colourful flowers and facilities that will keep you occupied from morning to night. Set just off the main road in Raron in Upper Valais, it's easily accessible by car, motorcycle or public transport and a central base for making day trips to popular Valais attractions. This is a self-check-in site with no staffed reception, so upon your arrival, you get to pick your own pitch. You may fancy cooling off in the pool (open during high season only) or heading over to the table tennis tables, pétanque court, play area or trampoline. After you're done with your activities, you may want to unwind at the on-site restaurant, which has a roomy terrace. The site has many modern and well-kept amenities and services: it's so clued up that it even has its own gas station. Surroundings await for active and scenic times too: it's minutes away from hiking trails around the Rhône river and five minutes' walk away from the cable car to the ski stations of Eischoll and Unterbäch, and within driving distance of toboggan rides, glaciers, the Matterhorn and the world's highest revolving restaurant. To add to that, there are several thermal baths/spas within half an hour's drive of the site.

What customers say

Guests rave about the stunning mountain views and spotlessly clean, modern facilities, especially the washrooms. Spacious sites and a prime location for exploring the Alps are big pluses. Some found it's near a main road, but most say self-check-in is a breeze. Recent upgrades include new washrooms and better Wi-Fi.

Liked El lugar muy bonito y pintoresco

Disliked La piscina, las veredas del entorno a la misma son rugosas y de mala calidad casi no se puede caminar, lástima la planta de los pies y no son para nada cómodas.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Buenos días,
Muchas gracias por su valoración.
El borde de la piscina debe estar así de rugoso, ya que, de lo contrario, existe un gran riesgo de resbalones.
Saludos cordiales

Disliked Het moeten kopen van hun vuilniszakken

En dat sommige mensen totaal geen rekening houden met de regels van 22:00 t/m 07:00 still zijn

Verschillende en niet logische stopcontacten

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Goedemorgen
Hartelijk dank voor uw recensie.
Fijn, dat u het naar uw zin gehad heeft. Elk land heeft zijn eigen regels met de afvalafvoer. Hier in Zwitserland betaald men naar verbruik, in dit geval met vuilniszakken.
Het issue met de stopcontacten wordt hopelijk volgend jaar opgelost.
Vriendelijke groeten

Liked Not what we were expecting when we pulled in!!! But wow!!
Great facilities, every pitch has hook up, pick your own pitch (recommend going up higher), MUST go to the restaurant- so friendly and amazing food! The pool is lovely too and we took a walk to the back of the site and found a beautiful fresh stream for the dog to play in.

Disliked Bins - didn’t realise you had to pay for an orange bin bag so we took our rubbish with us as couldn’t find anywhere to buy one.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Sam
Thank you so much for your review.
We love, that you enjoyed our campsite and your stay so much. Regarding the orange bin bag: it is written at several info points, that you can purchase them at the restaurant or in the little supermarket in the village;-)
We would love to see you again someday.
Kind regards

Local attractions

Raron's locale is under an hour from the mountain resorts of the Upper Valais, from Aletschgebiet to Zermatt under the Matterhorn peak. You can travel over the border to Italy or to other Swiss cantons via mountain passes and spectacular views: particularly recommended by the site team are the Simplon Pass, connecting Brig in Valais with Domodossola in Italy's Piedmont, and the Furka Pass, linking Andermatt in Uri with Gletsch in Valais. Another tiptop option is a trip to the Aletsch Glacier, the biggest glacier in the Alps and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Jungfrau-Aletsch. To visit a glacier from the inside, have a day at the Ice Pavillion of Saas-Fee, next to the world's highest revolving restaurant. A 70-metre long tunnel leads into the ice of the glacier, which can be reached via a subterranean cable car.
