Spacious, cozy, and clean pitch. Busy during the day along the passing hiking trail, but since the pitch is far enough away up above, it didn't bother us or our two dogs at all. It was quiet in the evenings and at night. Lots of wonderful hiking trails, a great stream, and a diverse surrounding area. Many thanks to Michael for the opportunity to relax there ;-)
Great place to relax and enjoy nature
Very nice spot with a tarp, tables, benches, and a composting toilet. There is also a fire pit available. We couldn't use it due to a fire ban. Well located for excursions to Lake Thun or the mountains.
A great spot, especially if you want to meet up with several other campers. Michael is a friendly and helpful host. Would love to come back. :-)
Very beautiful place, would love to come back
Whether it was a coincidence or not, we had the huge meadow all to ourselves and could really let off some steam. There are tables and benches on the site, so we had plenty of space to eat. A fire pit was great for preparing food and sitting by the fire afterwards. A quiet and beautiful spot on the edge of the forest. Naturally adventurous without electricity or water, but we knew that beforehand. We felt very comfortable 👍
