Campsite Park Grubhof *****

I had seen many positive reviews for this site and it did not disappoint on any level. Approaching from Zell am See the entrance is well signposted on the right just on the outskirts of Lofer. Stop before the barrier and check in at reception where the staff speak excellent English. They also provide you with lots of local information.
We were given a site plan and allowed to select a pitch from a choice of five. The majority of pitches are at least 120sq m. There\'s also a lot of space between the rows. It is by far the least packed continental campsite I have visited. There is power, water and drainage on every pitch and a separate area for tents. There are stunning views from most pitches. Wifi coverage and speed are good but charged extra. Guests with dogs are pitched in specific rows.
We arrived on a Thursday at the beginning of June which we didn\'t think would be busy. We had not considered the German school holidays. Schools in Bavaria get a week off for Whitsun but those in Baden Württemberg get two weeks. This resulted in caravans pouring in during Friday evening and Saturday. On Saturday all the roads from Germany where at a standstill. By Sunday the site was full but the facilities coped well.
Our comfort pitch gave us access to the family bathrooms. These included toilet, wash basin and walk in shower. They were big enough for a family of 4 and superbly fitted out.
We ate in the restaurant twice. The quality of the food and service was excellent.
A number of walks start near the site and dozens more nearby. Saltzburg and Berchtesgaden are a 50 minute drive away. We went up the cable car from Lofer which takes you to a beautiful plateau with a good choice of walks and Alms. The views are stunning. Lofer is a lovely little town with several restaurants and bars. There are several supermarkets.
The site accepts the ACSI CC card up until the beginning of June so we paid full price but we felt we got value for money.
We saw more British vans on this site than any other we stayed on in Austria. Presumably this is because it can be booked via the caravan club.
This is probably the best site we have stayed on during or 25 years of touring because it has everything - large pitches, great views, superb sanitary facilities, good restaurant, peaceful, good walking. It\'s got it all.

The best site we stayed on in 3 weeks touring Europe. Toilets always spotless and facilities compared well with a good hotel. Lovely site by the river surrounded by the Alps which in a thunderstorm was spectacular. It is 25 miles from the Eagles Nest which was a memorable visit. Found a lovely village on the opposite side of the road unfortunately on our way home but would love to return.

Camp sites don't come much better than this. Pitches very spacious and one caravanner commented that the toilet facilities were better than he had at home! Easy 15 minute walk into Lofer for shops and restaurants etc. There is nothing to criticise except perhaps there could be more facilities for children.

What a fantastic site, there is nothing really to fault here . The views are spectacular, toilet facilities undoubtedly the best we have ever seen on a campsite, restaurant good quality food at reasonable price. All staff friendly and helpful, site well maintained.
