Máré Vára takes its name from an ancient castle situated on top of a hill, two kilometres away, where the German noble family of Mariën once lived. The site is on archaeological ground: where the main house now stands, there used to be a monastery and centuries before that there was an ancient Roman settlement. Some 40 pitches (36 with 10A electricity) are on slightly sloping, well kept fields. On site is a small swimming pool (7x3 m). Modern toilet facilities are in an old barn and here in the walls one can see remains of the former monastery.
Koppany Pines Camping is in a quiet, rural part of Western Hungary, some 150 km. south-west of Budapest and 50 km. south of Lake Balaton. It is well and truly off the beaten track, in an orchard setting with 20 pitches for motorhomes and tents with 13A electricity hook-ups available. A warm welcome is guaranteed whilst you enjoy the site facilities, including a natural plunge pool for 2024 and a wild café , which is self-service on Tuesday & Wednesday and offers garden to plate options. There is also communal seating area, outdoor kitchen and cooking area. Workshops inspired by nature are also run on site.
Dunaföldvár is a most attractive town of 10,000 people and you are in the heart of it in just two or three minutes on foot from this site, easily reached via the wide towpath on the west bank of the Danube. For a town site, Kék-Duna is remarkably peaceful. This is a pleasant small site on the banks of the Danube, fenced all round and locked at night, with flat concrete access roads to 50 pitches. All have electricity (16A), the first half being open, the remainder well shaded. Apart from the obvious attractions of the river, with a large island opposite and pleasant walks possible, the ancient town has a most interesting museum.
Situated three kilometres to the north of the town of Kiskunmajsa, a few kilometres west of road 5 (E75) from Budapest (140 km) to Szeged (35 km), this is one of the best Hungarian campsites. The camping area is large, reached by tarmac access roads, with 250 unmarked pitches in several areas around the motel and sanitary buildings. Some shade is available and more trees are growing. All the 205 large touring pitches have electricity (10A) and are set on flat grass. Entrance to the impressive pool complex is charged (daily or weekly tickets are available - 40 per cent reduction for campsite guests).
Fantázia Tanya is an informal, natural campsite 90 km. from Budapest. A Dutch couple began work here in 2004. They have beautifully renovated the house, which was almost a ruin, and have also added an extension. The fenced site of more than an acre incorporates various fruit trees, a vineyard and a vegetable garden. Spacious pitches are in several small grass fields and enjoy good views over the surrounding fields of water melons and vines. Deer sometimes appear out of the forest.
Camping Forras, or ‘Bij Balázc’ as it is called by some Dutch guests, is close to the historic city of Pécs, in a part of Hungary with a Mediterranean style climate. It is next to the renovated thermal spa of Magyarhertelend, and close to the Mescék National Park, where there are many marked walking routes. The site has 120 pitches, all for tourers, off gravel and grass access roads. Of these, 45 are marked and have 6A electricity connections. The remaining pitches are used mainly for tents. The whole site looks well cared for with many different varieties of trees giving a pleasant atmosphere and providing useful shade in summer.
Southern Danube
This area is bordered by rivers and lies to the south of Lake Balaton. It benefits from a sub Mediterranean climate. The centre of the region is undoubtedly Pécs, a 2000-year old town with relics from the Roman Era, Turkish mosques and a graceful minarette built in the 16th century. The climate makes this a perfect choice for outdoor activities and wine tasting.
