  • Family-run campsite amid alpine scenery in the Gesäuse National Park
  • Five minutes’ drive to gorge walks and Mendlingtal Adventure World
  • Rafting and kayaking on site; restaurant and shop in walking distance
If you look for a combination of spectacular nature and adventure on your camping holidays, this could be the right place for you. In a magical alpine setting surrounded by meadows, orchards and forests, family-run Rafting Camp Palfau is located in Landl’s Gesäuse National Park and is the springboard to rafting and canyoning adventures on the Salzatal river as well as hiking and cycling in the mountains. The pitches are scattered across various tree-shaded terrains – out of high season you can pick your own spot – all with a sunny location and mountain views. Facilities across the campsite include a communal firepit, electric hook-ups and water, as well as wifi in the public areas. Drinks, coffee and ice cream are available 24/7 on a self-serve basis, and a small essentials store is within a few minutes’ walk, along with a wooden, chalet-style restaurant that serves hot food until 8pm. On summer evenings, film screenings are held at the site.

What customers say

Spacious, scenic site with clean facilities & friendly staff. Great mountain views & peaceful vibe. "Honesty system" a hit. Good for families/outdoor fun. Note: few on-site food options, occasional event noise, limited restrooms at peak times, and could use more electric hook-ups.

Liked Fantastické miesto, veľmi milý personál a služby, čisté zázemie. Využili sme jak ubytovanie (stan), tak bufet a občerstvenie a boli sme i na raftoch. To bol naozaj krásny zážitok!

Disliked Chýbala nám možnosť pripojiť sa na elektrinu. Aktuálne je počet miest na pripojenie limitovaný a nepostačuje kapacite kempu. Ale údajne to bude v dohľadnej dobe zmenené.

Liked Líbilo se mi zázemí, jak bylo situované, mílá obsluha na recepci, která uměla i anglicky. Poblíž dobrá restaurace s jídlem, za normální cenu. Hezká stezka skrz hory, která vedla přímo z campu.

Disliked Málo věcí v okolí na turistiku. Žádná jezera, kdy by člověk trošku čekal, že budou, když to byl kemp zaměřený na vodáky. Jedna stezka do hor, vedoucí z kempu, jinak si člověk musí dojet, nebo jít po silnici.

Liked Great place. I really enjoyed together with my girlfriend. We worried it will be busy in the middle of July but there was plenty of space. Bathrooms very clean and stuff very nice to help. We also purchased a half-day rafting trip and it was a great and fun experience. Thank you.

Local attractions

Rafting Camp Palfau is an ideal starting point for whitewater tours on the Salzatal river nearby – you can book rafting and canyoning tours directly on site as well as hire all the gear you need. Walking excursions can be organised too, including testing hikes past cliffside waterfalls in the awe-inspiring Palfauer Wasserlochklamm gorge (five minutes’ drive). The UNESCO-listed Nature and Geopark Styrian Eisenwurzen (25 minutes) is another fantastic spot for adrenaline-inducing whitewater rafting as well as exploring deep inside subterranean limestone complexes like Kraus Cave (10 minutes). Thankfully, the geopark is also home of gentler pursuits: Mendlingtal Adventure World (five minutes’ drive) highlights the region’s forest heritage with tours of an historic forgeman’s house, grain mill and a bakery. See how wood was once transported down the river at the Austrian Forest Museum Silvanum (15 minutes), where there are also sledge and raft rides to keep the kids entertained, or you can tire them out further with high-ropes courses and archery lessons.
