Kleines Paradies im Emmental

Switzerland-3533 Bowil

Located in our little paradise just outside the village at the foot of the "Chuderhüsi", this cozy spot offers plenty of peace and quiet along with magnificent sunsets in an idyllic setting. You can park your caravan, camper, or van on solid ground (paved area) or simply pitch your tent on the adjacent meadow. For your stay, you will have access to a dry toilet, a cozy dining area, a barbecue area, drinking water, and, if needed, electricity and firewood. We rent our camp exclusively to one party at a time. The surrounding area is perfect for hiking, mountain biking, cycling, mushroom foraging, swimming, and much more. We are happy to share tips for your next excursion in the region. Nearby, you will find several farm shops as well as a small restaurant within walking distance serving creative, seasonal, and delicious cuisine.

Karin and David's place is very charming, practical, and thoughtfully furnished. The rural setting with views of grazing cows, grass, trees, and the rolling hills is also very peaceful. And the two of them are very lovely hosts :) We were their very first guests and they passed with flying colors ;) All the best to both of them and until next time!
