If you are at a camp site on this part of Lake Balaton you really must visit this enchanting town with lovely old buildings, a lively tourist centre and a magnificent castle, Festetics. Camp sites around the enormous Lake Balaton are popular for the lake itself which slopes gently from the shore making it suitable for children.
