Diós Camping

Balatonföldvár is a great base for a Balaton holiday – for starters, you’ll have a choice of two main beach areas here, plus a dedicated dog beach for paddling pups. There are boat trips, watersports and bike paths for active guests, and a busy programme of cultural events at the church and Kultkikötő open-air theatre. Heading just a little way out of town, you might like to take a fragrant stroll at Lavender Kőröshegyi or meet exotic animals at Balatoni Madárkert (both 10 minutes’ drive), or perhaps come face to face with big extinct species at Kereki Dínó Park (15 minutes). Getting out to see more parts of the lake should be on the schedule too – perhaps taking a ferry trip to pretty Tihany (50 minutes by car and boat), visiting the grand Festetics Palace (45 minutes’ drive) or checking out the wineries around Badacsony (an hour and 15 minutes).
