Nature is in full bloom, everything is fresh and green, the sun is shining, and the four-day long weekend is just around the corner! We blink twice, and suddenly May bursts in — one of the most beautiful months of the year. Where else could you enjoy this sense of freedom more than while camping?

The caravans have returned to Thermal Camping, and tents are popping up in the shade of our giant trees, while guests are arriving at our apartments with big smiles on their faces. During the day, you can enjoy forest trails, beautiful parks, cycling, swimming and in the evening, campfires, cookouts and big laughs.

Of course, the classic May Day picnic atmosphere is also guaranteed: concerts, children’s programmes and a real retro bustle await visitors at Karos Korzó between 01 and 04 May 2025. What’s more, Sunday is Mother’s Day – a relaxing getaway to Zalakaros makes the perfect surprise!

There’s no better gift than a few days of pampering with thermal waters, memorable experiences, and nature.

We would also like to make you a special offer: our guests can buy their tickets to the Zalakaros Spa at the campsite reception with a 10% discount!

Read on and plan with us a long weekend of fun and relaxation!

May Day in a swimsuit? – Why not, if the Zalakaros Spa is your right next to your accommodation?

May is already beach season!

On 1 May, the beach season officially starts at Zalakaros Spa – although it’s only partial for now, but it’s just enough to get you into the outdoor water adventure. Children will love the splashing and the pools that invite them to play and move around, while adults will find some relaxation zones for themselves.

If you want to relax and unwind, try the bubble baths, saunas and indulge in the unique composition of the special thermal waters. The thermal waters of Zalakaros are recommended for the relief of musculoskeletal complaints, rehabilitation, stress relief and immune strengthening.

If you’ve been pushing all year, it’s time to slow down and let the spa do its work.

The Spa Garden is now open!

This is one of the quietest parts of the spa, where you can really get away from it all. It’s not just your body that gets a boost here, it’s your soul too. Picture yourself sinking into the soothing warmth of thermal water, then relaxing in the gentle spring sunshine in the charming Spa Garden.

Ready for a delicious lunch?

It’s easy to get hungry in the middle of a relaxing experience! In between the morning and afternoon bathing sessions, treat yourself in the Camping Restaurant! Hungarian dishes, Mediterranean cuisine, seafood specialities and high quality cuisine await you. And after lunch, how about a little siesta in the green surroundings of the campsite?

As a guest of the Thermal Camping you are in a special situation: with a ticket purchased at the campsite reception you can get one extra entry and exit per day and buy your ticket with a 10% discount.

Plus, the spa is right next door, so you can throw a towel over your shoulder and walk across. If you’re our guest, you can buy your ticket in advance at the campsite, so you don’t even have to queue.

Carousel, nature, or children’s water world?

May Day is well timed in 2025, as it brings with it a four-day long weekend. Now is the perfect time for a family day out. We are just over the spring break, the Easter break, so there is plenty of time to relax. While parents are looking for a bit of fun or relaxation, children are eager to get out and have adventures.

Wherever you look, there’s a whole range of activities to choose from, so you’re sure to find a way to spend a holiday that will satisfy all the family. All that’s left is to decide: will you go for the classic beer-and-sausage combo by the carousel at the town’s May Day fair, or would you rather soak up the sun near the water playground at the spa? The campsite also has fresh air, green lawns, a playground, football equipment, badminton and ping pong if you want to get some exercise.

Zalakaros is a great destination if you need to provide recreation for all ages. You can come with a tiny baby, toddlers, schoolchildren, bring the grandparents, or even your shy teenager will enjoy camping.

May Day at Karos Korzó: beer, sausages, traditions

During the long weekend, it’s worth to visit Karos Korzó, where between 1-3 May you can enjoy a real retro May Day picnic atmosphere! The classic sausage-and-music extravaganza is complete with craft beers, a carousel, children’s activities, a bouncy castle and even hot air ballooning. In the afternoon, you can make kites with the kids — there’ll also be a model exhibition and an air show to enjoy. And in the evening, the Helios band will keep the atmosphere going.

All within walking distance of the campsite, no need to get in the car. And if it’s May Day, don’t miss the picnic! Bring a blanket and have a snack under the old trees of Thermal Camping.

Walks and rest areas in the area

Would you like to get away from the May Day hustle and bustle for a while? There are quiet parks and forest walks nearby. Thermal Camping can proudly boast some truly prestigious neighbors, not just the spa and event venue. Just a stone’s throw away is the Thermal Lake and Ecoside, where you’ll find resting areas, bubbling streams, and a playground. One of the biggest attractions of the Thermal Lake and Ecoside is the 21-metre-high slide tower, where you can slide down a winding and a steep kamikaze track. It’s exciting fun for adults too.

The Zalakaros Park Forest is also easily accessible. Explore the Snail hiking trail, relax on the forest wave benches and enjoy the silence of nature! The route isn’t long, and it’s easily accessible even with young children.

Tent, caravan or apartment? Choose your style, to get in the May Day mood!

May is one of the freest months of the year, and a casual camping trip is the perfect way to celebrate! It’s not quite so hot, but you can feel the summer spirit and start with a four-day long weekend without even taking a day off. Up for the May Day, all you have to do is choose your favourite type of accommodation!
