I find the price high – what is the reason?
Our prices reflect the continuous development of the campsite and the quality of the services we provide. We regularly carry out investments, modernize our facilities, and pay special attention to a well-maintained green environment and landscaping. Guest satisfaction is our top priority, therefore we place great emphasis on cleanliness, safety, and friendly, helpful service.
Inflation in Hungary is very high, and we strive to reflect this in our prices as responsibly and minimally as possible. Even so, our Budapest competitors generally charge significantly higher rates. There are no hidden costs at our campsite.
