The most beautiful campsites in Lower Austria

The campsites of the label "Partnerschaft für Qualität – Camping in Niederösterreich" are clearly committed to high quality standards. They are operated in an ecologically sustainable, environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner. Inspected by independent bodies in accordance with international guidelines, they are characterised by their excellent quality facilities and services. They are among the best.

There are more than 50 campsites in all of Lower Austria's tourist destinations - in the Waldviertel, Weinviertel, Mostviertel, along the Danube, in the Vienna Woods and in the Vienna Alps. Many are located directly at lakes or rivers, others on the outskirts or in the middle of the countryside.

Classic pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes are standard. The offer is often supplemented by mobile homes, sleeping barrels, tiny houses or simple huts - ideal if you are travelling in a group without your own camping equipment.

The main season runs from May to September. It is often quieter in spring and autumn, ideal for hiking or cycling tours. In midsummer, swimming lakes and river sites are tempting. Some establishments also offer winter camping - it is best to enquire in advance.

Dogs are welcome at many campsites in Lower Austria. The exact regulations - such as the obligation to keep dogs on a lead, any additional fees or closed bathing areas - are determined by each campsite itself. It is worth taking a quick look at the campsite rules or asking before you arrive.

Yes, very much so. Many campsites are located on cycle paths or near marked hiking trails. Some are specialised for cyclists and offer, for example, secure bike parking, drying rooms for clothes or special services for travellers with tents.
