Peaceful site in stunning location

The facilities on this site are fairly basic with only a small pool, tiny shop, no restaurant and small-ish washing block but don't let that put you off. It's in a superb location a 25 minute walk from Interlaken where you can do pretty much anything from bungee jumping to sky-diving – we did white water rafting which was amazing – and a similar walk to two stunning lakes (Thuner and Brienz) which are gorgeous to swim in or do watersports. The pitches weren't the biggest and it is fairly tight to manoeuvre a big motorhome into position but the views around of the surrounding mountains is stunning. It's also a very quiet site (despite being busy) with motorhomes not allowed to be driven off site once you arrive (which isn't a problem as you can walk into town or catch a bus from nearby). We only stayed 2 nights but would have liked to have stayed longer.

Busy site best avoided Peak Times, sadly awful pitch.

We pre-booked and paid in advance in full but made the fateful error of choosing to visit in mid June. As said busy single track tarmac road with also a tight entrance for Caravans. Well oiled arrival routine and talk. Lots of seasonal & rental cabins now, only part Touring. We for sure had been allocated the very worst pitch (the side grass verge at Pot wash / toilet block) on this very very packed site. No privacy, very noisy 7am to 11pm, constant folk taking shortcuts across every way they could etc etc. We left early due to genuine family reasons, sad but somewhat relieved. NB The better family type sites in Switzerland, especially near Lakes etc are extremely popular, but will pack units onto every bit of grass verge they can and therefore do not have to tolerate any whinging.

Amazing Views

What an amazing site. Views of the snow capped mountains are second to none. Clean, well maintained, friendly staff, nice facilities, etc.... Other reviews have said it better than me but it's the perfect site to explore the area from.

Excellent site in outstanding location! Thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Site is clearly posted from main routes, last section of road to the site has passing places but is not a busy road. We were welcomed by Aline and Stephan, who have owned and run this site for 37 years. Their experience shows and everything runs like a well oiled Swiss clock! The site had just opened for the season but was extremely busy as it was Easter. Stephan escorted us to our level, grass pitch and helped site the caravan, he connected us to both water and electricity on our allocated pitch ( waste also on pitch) The mountain view was truly breathtaking and ever changing with the light. Magnificent! The excellent facilities are immaculately clean. Excellent fresh bread can be ordered daily at the on site shop. This site is well located for exploring Interlaken and the Bernese Oberland. Very close to both Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. Excellent base for walkers, cyclists and climbers. Paragliding is very popular with opportunities to experience this locally. Loved the sound of church bells through the valley and the sound of cow bells ( like a wind chime!) Switzerland is very expensive, the beauty of touring in our caravan( motor homes most popular here) is that you can enjoy all this beautiful area has to offer but keep within your budget by catering for ourselves. Huge thanks to Alisa and Stephan and the team at Lazy Rancho for ensuring our week long experience was wonderful. Site and facilities are beautifully maintained, new play equipment has just been installed. We would highly recommend this site.

A great location

We stayed here for 12 nights in september. As per other reviews the site is spotless with excellent shower toilet facilites. We were caravanners. the pitches appeared to be a decent size and stephan pitches you perfectly. Site owners very helpful. Switzerland is very expensive so do take as many provisions as possible. The site is in a perfect location for you to enjoy the mountain region. We bought a 8 day jungfrau region pass which you buy at the local train station . They start from a 3 day pass -8 day pass. The trains leave interlaken to go into the mountains and you can walk, catch a bus or cycle to the train station so we feel this is the best placed campsite in the region. From the site you view the north face of the Eiger and other mountains, beautiful sight! We can highly recommend this site and its easy to get to just off the main road.

A highly recommended 5 star site in beautiful location

This site is only a short distance from the A8 along good roads. For the last few hundred yards the road is narrow, but visibility is good and most of the traffic is from the two campsites. The owners, Aline and Stephan, live on site and they or one of their team are always visible ‘doing things’. For example, when we were there in September the worn grass areas were being reseeded ready for next year. This reminded us very much of the attention to detail seen on Club sites in the UK, which is probably why we felt so comfortable there. The toilets, showers, wash up and laundry are squeaky clean and there is always hot water. Everything about the site is immaculate, including the pitches and even the recycling area. Our grass super pitch was a good size and fairly flat, with a view down to Lake Thun and up to the mountains. The location is rural but it is an easy walk along back roads into Interlaken. There are plenty of walking and cycling opportunities directly from the site and lots of things to do without travelling too far. Guests get a Visitors Card which gives free travel on local transport and substantial discounts at many attractions. Leaflets and advice are available from reception. On Friday evenings and Saturday mornings the nearby rifle range was operating, but otherwise all was peace and quiet, just the donging of cow bells.

Excellent site in stunning location

Stayed here many times and never disappoints. In fact, large proportion of visitors seem to be returnees, which speaks volumes. Run by the same family for many decades, the site is well cared for and always looking to improve. Pitches are level and the owner sites each unit personally to ensure you have the best arrangement. Good little shop and an excellent source of local information with vouchers available for many popular attractions. One of the great things about Interlaken is the local visitors card that not only gives discounts but also free travel on buses and trains within the immediate area. The site itself is only a 5-10 minute walk from two local bus routes that offer a half-hourly service into the town. Good cycling and walking locally. Interlaken itself can be busy in high season but it’s easy to find quiet spots and there are some excellent shops and cafes. The surrounding area has some of the best scenery and visitor attractions in Switzerland and local transport links are first-class.

Fabulous

We stayed for 7 nights August 2017, met with a real sense of nothing is too much trouble, everyone worked hard to make our stay just fabulous. The hot tub in the rain was truly memorable, the pitch was fantastic with the most perfect views. The washing facilities were spotless any time of the day. A perfect caravan site.

Amazing!

We had the pleasure of staying on this site on the 6 August for a week prior to moving on to Italy. The reception staff could not be more helpful and Stefan is the master of caravan siting. On arrival he led us to the pitch, guided the caravan in on to a ramp for levelling one side of the van. The level was perfect first time. Unfortunately we had a very wet week with only a couple of dry days. This did not dampen ( excuse the pun ) our enjoyment of the site or Switzerland. We travelled by train locally and up to the Schilthorn by cable car and the views were beautiful. It is a little expensive but we had a great time. One evening I was sat outside the van watching the sunset on the Eiger, a short while later we watched a full moon rise from behind the same mountain. An absolutely spectacular sight! Beautiful location, friendly helpful staff, very quite in the evenings and very clean facilities. I would stay there again if I were going back to Switzerland.
