Wild romance or comfortable holiday?
All you need to know about modern camping
The appeal of camping lies in the desire to connect with nature, indulge in nostalgia, and enjoy the freedom to live at our own pace. There’s something intuitively comforting about waking up in a shady, wooded setting, in a camping place decorated to your needs and tastes.
You’re not an experienced camper, maybe it’s your first time sleeping in a tent, or it’s been a while since your last trip and you’re curious for some tips on how to plan a great holiday as simply as possible?
First of all, you should know that over the past decade, the comfort level of camping has increased dramatically. Thanks to modern gear, stylish tents, and comfortable mattresses, this way of relaxing is no longer the basic, no-frills holiday many people still associate with camping.
With a little preparation, you can have an impeccable experience whether you choose a tented holiday, arrive by caravan or motorhome, or choose an air-conditioned, well-equipped apartment. Choosing your camping place is an important decision. The beautiful, lush green surroundings are a given – the only question is which type of accommodation suits you best.
Modern camping has preserved its closeness to nature and nostalgic atmosphere, while also offering comfort and accommodation types that suit your personal needs.
Many people like to organise their holiday consciously to make the experience truly carefree. It’s wise to book your tent or caravan pitch in advance, as it can be a lifelong disappointment to have to turn back at the gate with your holiday plans all set, simply because all the places are taken.
Below you can find out which camping places you can choose from at Thermal Camping Zalakaros, so you can make your choice between the different types of pitches easier. We’ll also show you how to book them easily.

Your accommodation comes with clean linen, towels and a hairdryer in the bathroom, so you don’t have to carry it with you. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need for everyday use. It includes cookware, a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, and tableware.
An apartment at Thermal Camping is the ideal choice if you are on holiday with a baby or a child up to 14 years old and you want to have everything to hand. It’s also a great option if you’re camping with grandparents – while you prefer sleeping in a tent, they can enjoy the comfort of an apartment.
What types of camping places can you choose from?
1. Tent places and caravan pitches
At Thermal Camping we offer extra-large pitches, which are also suitable for tent or caravan holidays. The pitches also have electricity connection, which is included in the price of the pitch! If you want to use electricity, make sure to bring an extension cord.
Tip: Make your camping place a true temporary home! Bring a hammock, a comfortable camping chair, lanterns, a LED string light – anything that makes your relaxation even cozier and more atmospheric. These little tricks make evenings special.
The campsite also offers a sanitary block, a communal kitchen, fire pits, and a playground. If you’re looking for active relaxation, use the ping pong table, ask for football equipment at reception, rent badminton gear, or bring along any sports equipment you’d like to use.
2. Comfort pitches
The caravan adventure is pure freedom! If you don’t have your own vehicle, you can rent one. There are also caravans and motorhomes with a built-in bathroom. If this is your choice, book a comfort pitch! These camping places also have electricity, water and sewage connections. Their use is included in the price of the pitch, so there is no extra charge. Switch to holiday mode, in the middle of nature, in perfect comfort!
