In the east of the tourist Tirol region, on the south side of the mighty Grossglockner, lies Nationalparkcamping Kals. You camp here on a low lying field or on one of the terraces. The camping site is popular with nature lovers and sports enthusiasts. With ski pistes galore, walking and cycling paths (from easy to strenuous) in the immediate vicinity of the camping site, there is no need to be bored.

Camping amidst the mountains

On camping site Nationalparkcamping Kals you can choose your own pitch. This can be down on the camping site or up on one of the terraces. Although the pitches are not demarcated, you will have ample privacy. This is because the pitches are very spacious. The pitches are level with a grass surface, but vegetation is limited because of the high altitude of the camping site.

There are more than one hundred touring pitches. The camping site does not offer rental accommodation, so you have to bring your own tent, trailer tent, motorhome or caravan.

Winter sport paradise

Winter sport enthusiasts will appreciate the shuttle bus which travels between the camping site to the pistes. However, even if you do not like snow that much, you can indulge in other sporty activities. You can go walking or cycling, for instance. On the camping site and in the village of Kals you will also come across many mountaineering fanatics. There is not a great deal to do on the camping site for children, but there is a playground within a two minute walk from the grounds.

Restaurants in Kals

There is no restaurant on the camping site, but you will find a few eating establishments in the village of Kals. You can also do your shopping in Kals.

Liked - an amazing view from the site, in the heart of the mountains and a fantastic base for walking
Disliked - only the weather was a little cold in summer - but what can you expect a few thousand metres up in the mountains!

Mooie aangelegde camping met supermooi sanitair in een nog mooiere omgeving. De camping heeft mooie vlakke terrassen en in het midden een sanitair gebouw dat niet zou misstaan bij de olympische spelen. Op de camping komen vooral veel bergwandelaars en -beklimmers. Er zijn vele dagtochten te maken, maar ook genoeg mogelijkheden om een kleine of grote huttentocht te maken. De camping heeft een grote keuze aan brood, er is altijd verse koffie, koud bier of een ijsje te krijgen. Er is geen speeltuin, maar aangezien je vanaf de camping zo het bos in kunt lopen is er genoeg te spelen voor kinderen. Al met al een aanrader!
