  • Lovely lakeside park with impressive views of Mount Petzen’s peak
  • A five-minute drive from the mountain’s ski slopes and hiking trails
  • Saunas, 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 are saunas to bask in and 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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: All the people in service were nice and helpful. We were also massively helped to succesfully resolve our car issue. Mountains and overall stay are surely calming and refreshing, but the people are what matters most.

Disliked: Despite of the variety of accomodation we chose the most challenging - sleeping in a tent among crowded caravans. It is definitelly the least private option plus having no way to prep food ourselves. Something to learn.

Liked: Stunning site with beautiful little lake and amazing on site restaurant. Shallow waters of Lake was great for children to play in and unconfident swimmers. Really easy check in and for once the bill didn’t double at check out ! Would definitely plan a stay at this site into next trip.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The campsite is as beautiful as it appears in the pictures, if not more so. There is a very friendly, respectful, communal feeling to the site. You can leave your tent doors open with no fear of anything going missing. The lake is very warm and perfect for swimming in. I found the people to be incredibly friendly and helpful. Which seemed to be true of Austrian people in general. Highly recommended.

Disliked: Nothing.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful site amongst the mountains beside a lake of main routes, ideal for water sports enthusiasts, paddle boarding etc. sanitary facilities were good and kept clean, staff very helpful and the site appears both well organised and run. Bar, restaurant was very good, prices were a little on the high side, but to be expected for onsite catering. Only stayed for one night on route, however would have stayed longer and will consider going back.

Disliked: Pitch privacy was virtually nonexistent, however both our “neighbours” were welcoming and friendly.

Liked: Clean facilities and good restaurant. Well located for sightseeing and biking. Friendly and helpful staff.

Disliked: Campers do not have access to the glamping area, where the pool and sauna are located. Beware of the misleading photos. The lake is quite small.

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.
