autumn camping Thermal Camping Zalakaros

Autumn camping is a favourite for many: in the mornings you are gently woken by the sunshine, there is no heat in the tent or the caravan, and thanks to the fresh air the nights are more restful too. The thick foliage is still green, but here and there the warm colours of the season are already appearing. There is nothing more atmospheric than gathering around the campfire in the evening, roasting bacon or cooking in a cauldron under the starry sky, and talking for hours with the ones you truly love. With family, friends, or even your partner.

In autumn, Thermal Camping is calmer and quieter, making it the ideal choice if you are looking to recharge. With us, the feeling of freedom comes as standard! There are no strict pitch boundaries, you can settle in comfortably in the spacious wooded green area and even bring your pet along.

Nature, fresh air, relaxation in the thermal waters of the neighbouring Zalakaros Spa, and a good dinner at the Camping Restaurant – experiences like these make it worth visiting us in autumn too.

 

Thermal Camping is open until 5 October 2025. Don’t miss the great off-season offers! Spend the beautiful autumn days in nature!

 

Why do so many people love Thermal Camping? Based on our guests’ feedback, we have gathered the most important reasons.

Our caravan pitches and tent places also have electricity connections included in the price. On our comfort pitches, electricity, water, and wastewater connections are also available.

The kitchen prepares meals with great expertise, decades of experience, and, above all, love. The fish soup and Viennese pork chop are particular favourites, but the menu also features special seafood, Hungarian, and Mediterranean dishes.

 

 

  • Proximity to the spa – the Zalakaros Spa is right next to the campsite. It offers a unique composition of thermal water, adventure pools, sauna world, children’s pools, water attractions and other services.

  • Cleanliness and orderliness – We ourselves love this little gem of a campsite, so we pay close attention to its upkeep. Well-maintained grassy areas and clean sanitary facilities await you.
  • International guest community – Both domestic and international guests choose Thermal Camping. It is ideal for multi-week holidays or as a short resting spot during a longer caravan adventure.

Many people return year after year, or visit Thermal Camping several times within a season, because this little green oasis is simply irresistible. Here, time seems to flow differently. Instead of the everyday rush, there is space for tranquillity and a more human pace of life, which we long for all year round.

This natural pace is even more characteristic of the autumn season: mornings are quiet, and a friendly atmosphere prevails in the waking campsite. You simply sit in your camping chair, enjoy the calm, with your morning coffee or a fragrant tea steaming in your hand. Afterwards, it feels wonderful to stretch out in the sunshine or soak in the warmth of the thermal water. There is plenty to choose from for those who enjoy active relaxation too. Zalakaros is a favourite destination for nature lovers and sports enthusiasts alike.
