  • Peaceful and pretty site in the Swiss Alps, close to riverside trails
  • A 15-minute drive from Thermalquellen waterpark
  • Pool, garden, three trampolines, restaurant, terrace and gas station
Just simply spectacular... this, right now, is where you stop and flick through the site pics. Back? As you'll have spied, Camping Simplonblick is a scenic and spacious place, made up of green grounds, colourful flowers and fab facilities to keep you occupied from morn to night. You may care to cool off in the pool followed by a lengthy sunbathing session in the big surrounding garden, for example, or knock a ball about at the ping pong tables or pétanque courts while the kids are kept happily active at their club in school holidays...? If you're roaming the grounds with your offspring, let them loose at the play area or to bounce around on one of three trampolines: offering prizes for the highest and/or most elaborate bounce is optional but highly amusing... Then there's a site restaurant with roomy terrace and bar for you all to recover and refuel at, and a kiosk stocked with essentials if you'd rather wander off and find a secluded picnic spot. Surroundings await for active and scenic times too: Camping Simplonblick is in the Raron district of the Swiss canton of Valais, directly on the cantonal road in the centre of the Upper Valais and easily accessible by car, motorbike or by train. It's minutes too from hiking trails around the Rhône river, the ski stations of Eischoll or Unterbäch, 15 minutes' drive from Thermalquellen waterpark and within easy reach of toboggan rides, glaciers, the Matterhorn and the world's highest revolving restaurant... Table football and darts are also on site, along with modern and well-kept amenities and services: this site is so clued up that it even has its own gas station.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful location and views, pretty much staying in the alps. Very modern facilities, great showers and toilet, soap provided but no blotting paper. We stayed right out the back of the campsite so the wifi was weak, but closer to reception /main building it was much better. The reception is unmanned, but lots of posters and information provided in the reception building. Did not use the swimming pool so cannot comment on it.

From the manager: Dear Thank you so much for your kind review. We are not sure what you mean by blotting paper, but the toilets are provided with toilet paper, if that is what you mean by that. We would love to see you again someday!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The Camping was great, had a spacious place for our 4 person tent, with enough space to park the car next to it. Waking up with mountains all around, with a clear sky you can see them all, some days we had some clouds which had it's own beauty. The toilets and showers were very clean, the showers are way better than expected and free. The wifi worked well and a gas station near the entrance, which is nice when you're traveling through the country.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Heel mooie ruime plaats. Badkamer, toilet gebouw zeer schoon en nieuw. Leuk zwembad en speelplaatsen voor de Kids. De omgeving is echt prachtig! Wat een natuur! Zoveel te doen in de omgeving. Wij waren aan het wandelen op/naast de camping op een berg. De oudste van 10 wou terug.het duurde even,en de oudste kon ons iet meer vinden. Is naar de receptie gegaan, die belde ons 3x en mailde ons dat onze zoon op de camping was en dat het goed ging. Hoe netjes!

Disliked: Geen minpunten.

Raymond G. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Clean toilets

Disliked: A Massive family of 14 appeared at 10.30pm and starts pitching 2 tents and a camper van on our pitch, they then started knocking on our door to ask us to move, which I politely declined, they made noise until 1.30am No management onsite to deal with situation we could no put out our awning or table out. There is people staying on the site permanently in what i can only describe as wrecked motorhome’s Headlights smashed and a tent attached to the side, the grass is all over grown place look’s really run down. The site is right next to a busy road but that did not bother us. I would not recommended staying unless you are desperate for a pitch for one night only. We felt save enough. For the money you can get well better sites in Switzerland. Mind and take a Swiss electical adaptor or you will not be able to use the electrics. Whoever did the photos for there web site description deserves an Oscar as they have done some job, as the site looks nothing like the photos

From the manager: Dear Raymond I am sorry, you had such a bad experience with us. We will take your feedback as an opportunaty to improve us. We would love it, if you gave us another chance.

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.
