Valais is a region in the south of Switzerland with the most sunshine hours and the highest mountains in Europe, for instance, the Matterhorn. Just an hour's drive from the Italian border lies this quiet campsite. Camping Simplonblick is a good match for campers who don't set great store by luxury. At the back of the campsite, there is a forest, and the view of the beautiful mountain peaks is picture-perfect. Put on your hiking boots or grab a bike to explore the beautiful nature reserve. The campsite looks dated, but the new manager is changing things up.

Camping in Valais

Just steps from the A9, the campsite driveway is behind a motel and gas station. Even if you are travelling through to Italy, the location is very central, and in the beautiful surroundings, there are many places of interest within easy reach. Once you arrive at the camping fields, everything gets quieter, and a sprawling view of the high mountains awaits you. There is a small supermarket a ten-minute walk away, and the Rhone River flows behind the nearby village of Raron.

A view from your pitch

The highlight of the campsite is the view of the mountains. As soon as you step out of the tent or caravan, you are already enjoying the beauty of nature. In the summer, you will find campers from different countries, including many Swiss families staying on a permanent site.

The sanitary building has been refurbished by the new manager. Please note that at the front of the site, you may hear traffic at some times of the day.

Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Liked - Handige plek, centraal gelegen en goede uitgangspositie om vanaf de camping veel dingen te doen. Gewandeld vanaf de camping met een gondelbaan direct vanaf de camping, dagje Aletschgletsjer, dagje Matterhorn, Montreux etc. Sanitair is heel nieuw en uitermate prima!
Disliked - Entree kan wat verbeterd worden. Ziet er een beetje rommelig en afgedankt uit en onpersoonlijk/anoniem. Tuin zwembad kan ook wat opgeleukt worden met planten tegen muur etc. Ook op de camping weinig struiken, geen afrastering bij voetbalveld etc.

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - Super mooie locatie met grote campingplaatsen. Er is wifi aanwezig (wat niet helemaal tof werkt als je aan het einde van de camping staat, maar ach er is goed mee te leven!).

‘S ochtends kan je heerlijk verse croissantjes en ander vers brood halen in het restaurant. Wij hebben niet in het restaurant gegeten dus daar kan ik helaas niets over zeggen.

Toiletgebouw is uitmuntend! Word iedere dag schoongemaakt en bijgevuld. Genoeg douche mogelijkheden en toiletmogelijkheden. Ontzettend fijne douche ook!
Disliked - Je hebt geen privacy op je plek, ze hebben geen heggen of afscheidingen van de plekken. Iedereen liep over de plek heen.

Buurman een boer, begon om 7 uur ‘s ochtends zijn land te maaien. En besproeide de gehele dag en nacht zijn land met een sproeier, deze hoor je wel als je aan het einde van de camping staat. Hier mag voor gewaarschuwd worden.

De dag dat je aankomt krijg je een mail dat je zelf je plek kan uitkiezen, de receptie in onbemand en wij hebben helemaal geen ontvangst gehad. Daarvoor moest je naar een andere camping 500 meter verderop.
