Öko-Park Camping is close to the Baroque style town of Eger, on the edge of the protected Bükk National Park. Buildings on the site are all made of natural materials and there is a well used for watering the plants. Öko-Park has 45 pitches off a single gravel access lane that runs to the back of the site. The grass pitches are level, marked and numbered. All have 16A electricity and are in the shade of mature trees. There is a small adventure park on site with climbing wall, tree-path and waterfall. The disadvantages are a road running alongside, a railway to the back and pitches which may be small for larger units.

Baradla is located in one of the most beautiful Hungarian National Parks, the Aggteleki Nemzeti Park, within an hour’s drive of Hungary’s third largest town, Miskolc. Baradla has 180 pitches, all for tourers but only 60 with electricity (16A, long leads necessary). The level pitches are on one large, unmarked grassy field with shade from a few low trees on one side, on open ground on the other. At the front of the site there is a welcoming and good value bar/restaurant (under separate management) and numerous souvenir shops are opposite. In fact, Baradla Camping is at the entrance of the famous Barlang Caves which form a natural border between Hungary and Slovakia and are the largest caves in the Park.

Termál Camping was opened in 2004 and is on the outskirts of Tiszaújváros (the former Lenin City) and not far from the River Tisza in eastern Hungary. The site has some 166 grass pitches (all for touring units), of which 16 have 25A electricity. To one end of the site are eight holiday homes and centrally located is a well equipped toilet block. The trees and bushes have not yet fully developed and the site can become a suntrap in the hot Hungarian summer. The site is next to a tributary of the River Tisza, and the area offers good opportunities for walking, cycling, boating and fishing.

From mid July to mid August, this site gets quite busy, but either side of these dates it is quiet and very relaxing. Set on the banks of the wide River Tisza, the level grass pitches, 120 in number, are close together and narrow but quite long, off a hard circular access road so siting should be quite easy. All the pitches have electricity (mostly 6A) and there is much shade from a variety of trees. There is a high season reception, but at other times, you site yourself and a gentleman calls during the evening to collect the fee. There may well be some daytime noise from watersports on the river but it is very quiet by night.

Farm Lator is a small, privately run site with 25 pitches on the edge of the Bükk National Park, near the Bükk mountains, more or less in the middle of nowhere! This keeps the site really quiet and the surroundings are very suitable for many different types of bird and butterfly that you won’t find anywhere else in Europe. The Dutch/Hungarian owners of Farm Lator, Rob de Jong and Barbara Borostyankoi, try to keep the site and its surroundings as natural as possible. This means the site has few amenities, other than a clean and well kept sanitary block, and electricity (16A) is only provided for three pitches. Truly a site for nature lovers.
