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 small, quiet site, bordered on two sides by Lake Brienz, is only 1.5 kilometres from the centre of Interlaken and the autoroute exit.

Almost all the 120 pitches are available for touring units. On firm, level grassy ground and under tall trees, all have 6A electricity. With magnificent views over the lake, gates give direct access to a footpath and to the lake shores. Interlaken is the tourist centre of the Bernese Oberland.

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.
