  • 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

This campsite boasts a beautiful valley setting with mountain views and easy cable car access. Guests rave about the clean, modern facilities. Pitches are spacious and flat. While self-check-in felt impersonal to some, overall satisfaction is high. Wi-Fi and road noise are minor concerns, with a tunnel project underway.

Liked Nothing. I pulled in and left to stay in a hotel instead.

Disliked No shelter, shade or privacy. Tents too close together. Not my cup of tea at all.

Liked Beautiful location, friendly staff.
Toilets/showers are immaculate

Disliked Not having an allocated pitch was a bit free for all, couldn’t really get a proper pitch and squeezed on the back of someone else’s.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Pomieszczenia sanitarne jak nowe, czyste.
Przy chwilowym problemie z prądem miła obsługa szybko go rozwiązała. Cena jak na Szwajcarię bardzo przystępna.

Disliked Brak możliwości rezerwacji kwater a i nie są wyznaczone. Gdzie się zmieścisz tam stoisz. Zajęło mi 15- 20 min zanim znalazłem miejsce. Jeśli ktoś przyjedzie bardzo późno to może mieć kłopot.

From the manager: Serdecznie dziękujemy za wspaniałą recenzję.
W sezonie zalecamy naszym gościom przyjazd do godziny 20.00, aby na miejscu była jeszcze osoba, która będzie mogła Państwu pomóc.
Z przyjemnością powitamy Państwa u nas innym razem.
Z pozdrowieniami

Liked Lovely campsite in valley with lovely villages to see and can go up cable cars
Toilets and washing facilities are great.

Disliked Massive problem with electric with the amount of people on site even though site guys were fantastic at sorting were they could. No reception but are easy to phone them and send someone straight away but need sighns to tell them to pitch and not on other people pitches as they were doing late arrivals

From the manager: Dear NIgel
Thank you for your review.
We love, that you enjoyed our campsite.
We do have a bit of a problem with late arrivals, that don't have a reservation. We hope to solve the problem in the near future (by barrier or something like that).
Kind regards

 Sandrine M. 1 review

Powered grass campsite

Liked Très propre, surtout les sanitaires

Disliked Pas d'accueil, pas de contact humain, froid et impersonnel. Pas d'information. Resto fermé et pas grand chose autour du camping. Manque de partie ombragée pour les camping car.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Bonjour Sandrine, merci pour votre avis.
Notre camping est présenté comme un camping sans réception, avec enregistrement et départ automatisés. Il va de soi qu’il n’y a donc pas de personnel sur place.
Le camping a été entièrement rénové il y a 4 ans, c’est pourquoi les arbres ne sont pas encore très grands.
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez été satisfait du reste des infrastructures.
Meilleures salutations

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.
