The English-speaking owners lovingly care for the site and will endeavour to make you feel very welcome.

Gemeinde Camping Erlach is a lakeside site within walking distance of the small town of Erlach, west of Bern. There's a small beach backed by a grassy expanse offering wonderful views across the lake to the wooded hills opposite. With only 69 touring pitches of small to medium size, it can fill up quickly during the high season, especially at weekends. Some pitches have hardstandings suitable for motorhomes, and several tent-only pitches are available. Many pitches have lovely views over the Bielersee, and the marina, with numerous lake cruise options, is only a few minutes walk away.

This well established site, being just outside the Federal Capital, is conveniently placed either for an overnight stop or for exploring the city and surrounds. The 304 pitches (230 for touring) are numbered but not marked out and you choose your own place; cars are parked away from the pitches. All have 6A electricity and there are special pitches for motorhomes. There are some static units but there should always be room. The shop also serves drinks which can be taken to a rest room nearby or consumed on the terrace. The restaurant offers a daily lunch menu.

Camping Gerbe is located in Meierskappel (Lucerne) in the middle of Central Switzerland and offers an ideal starting point to enjoy your holidays in the idyllic setting between Lake Zug and Lake Lucerne at the foot of the local mountain "Rigi" Because the site is located in Central Switzerland in the canton of Lucerne, just 5 minutes from the Gotthard route, it is the ideal spot for a stopover. However, if you are you looking for a pitch for a longer stay or even for the season you and your family will certainly feel comfortable on this small site. The site has 60 grass pitches (some seasonal) both with and without shade. The electric hook-up points are 16amp.

Camping Vitznau is situated in the small village of the same name, above and overlooking Lake Luzern, with splendid views across the water to the mountains on the other side. It is a small, neat and tidy site very close to the delightful village on the narrow, winding, lakeside road. The 70 touring pitches for caravans and motorhomes (max length 8 m) have 15A electricity available, and all have fine views. They are on level, grassy terraces with hardstanding for motorhomes and separated by tarmac roads. There are separate places for tents. Trees provide shade in parts, and this delightful site makes an excellent base for exploring around the lake, the town of Luzern and the nearby mountains. A number of small chalet-style camping huts are available for hire.

Situated on Lac Lucerne's shore, between a sports centre, marina and a lakeside beach, Camping Buochs Vierwaldstättersee is an ideal site for relaxing in the sun. Take the occasional refreshing dip in the lake (50 metres away), or venture further afield to explore the Swiss Plateau and the Alps' beauty. Completely renovated in 2017 the modern site features 150 level pitches, of which around 90 are for touring. All have 8A electricity, but there is little, to no shade. There is no restaurant, but campers may use a communal barbecue. There is plenty to do on-site, hire of electric bikes allows you to take advantage of the numerous cycling routes nearby, and Lucerne is a short bus and train journey away. Several accommodation options are available, including tipi, pods and shepherd style huts.

AlpenCamping is a small family site located just west of Meiringen, an important winter sports resort and hiking centre in the summer with good road and rail links. Opened in 2007, the enthusiastic owners have developed this into a good all-year site (closed November) and continue to make steady improvements. There are 54 touring pitches, some occupied by seasonal caravans, which are flat and grassy and all have electrical connections and many have water. A further 32 pitches are occupied by well maintained residential units. This is a simple site with few amenities but there is an excellent centrally located toilet block and a small shop for essentials.

Camping Unterägeri is located next to Lake Agerisee in a quiet, semi-rural area screened by trees and hedges. It provides 270 pitches, 150 for touring, all with a 10A electricity supply. There are 120 seasonal pitches spread throughout the site. The touring pitches are grassy, level and some have hardstandings. The town is a short walk away, as is Lake Agerisee.

One of the finest sites we have seen, Camping Seefeld Sarnen was completely rebuilt with all the features demanded by discerning campers and reopened in 2011. The location alongside Lake Sarnen is breathtaking, with views across the water to lush meadows, wooded hills and mountains topped with snow for most of the year. The seasonal pitches are immaculately maintained on their own area. There are 94 touring pitches arranged on almost level grass, each with 13A electricity and its own water tap. There is some shade from young trees which will increase as time goes on. The site not only offers active family holidays on land and on the water, but is ideally placed for exploring this beautiful part of Switzerland.

Idyllically situated near the beautiful village of Engelberg, surrounded by mountains, 3,500 feet above sea level, this all-year site must be one of the very best in Switzerland. The comprehensive range of facilities would be hard to beat. Nearly half of the site is taken up by static caravans which are grouped together at one side. The touring area is in two parts, there are 68 hardstandings for caravans and motorhomes, 11 are comfortplatze, and 12 are prestigeplatze, but all have electricity. Over the small bridge is a flat meadow for about 70 tents. Reception can be found in the very modern foyer of the Eienwäldli Hotel which also houses the indoor pool, spa complex, excellent shop and café/bar.

Lucerne is a very popular city in central Switzerland, and nearby Camping Sempach is an ideal base from which to visit the city and explore the surrounding countryside or, being a short way from the main A2 Basel - Chiasso motorway, is a convenient overnight stop if passing through. Ask reception for a local map showing recommended walking and cycling trails.

This small campsite is about 1,000 m. above sea level, on a road followed by many tourists and can serve either as a night stop or as a holiday base for those who like a mountain site with many attractive excursion opportunities. In summer, there are 30 pitches for touring units (limited shade), in winter 20 (the remainder of the 120 total being seasonal lets), all with 10A electricity connections. The site is equipped for winter sports camping and therefore a fair proportion of the available space consists of hardstandings for caravans on stony ground. However, there are also lawns for tents.

Situated on the shores of Lake Thun, Camping Thunersee is an ideal site for those who wish to explore this part of the Bernese Oberland and who would enjoy staying on a small site in a quiet area away from the larger sites and town atmosphere of Interlaken. There are 75 numbered but unmarked pitches for touring units, most with 4A electricity available, and about the same number of seasonal units. There are hard access roads but cars must be parked away from the pitches. Recent additions are eight premium pitches overlooking the lake and popular pods for light travellers. Although there are some trees, there is little shade in the main camping area. There is direct access to the lake for swimming and boating.

Luzern is a traditional holiday resort of the British, and this site has many British visitors. It lies near the shore of Lake Luzern, just 1 mile outside the town itself. This good but expensive site (£42 in low season per night) is divided into separate sections for caravans, motorhomes and tents; the first two have hardstandings which, in effect, provide rather formal and small individual pitches with shade in parts. There are 150 marked touring pitches all with 16A electricity connections. Quiet in the early season, from late June to late August it can become full and feel rather crowded, especially in the tent section. Good English is spoken.

This is a small site with about half the pitches occupied by static caravans, used by their owners for weekends and holidays. The 70 or so places available for touring units are not marked out but are generous in size without overcrowding. Ten pitches have been upgraded to full comfort and weather-resistant surfaces added to others. Most places are on level grass with two small terraces at the end of the site. There is little shade but the site is set in a river valley with trees on the hills which enclose the area. Electricity is available for all pitches but long leads may be required in parts.
