Family-run campsite amid alpine scenery in the Gesäuse National Park
Five minutes’ drive to gorge walks and Mendlingtal Adventure World
Rafting and kayaking on site; restaurant and shop in walking distance

If you look for a combination of spectacular nature and adventure on your camping holidays, this could be the right place for you. In a magical alpine setting surrounded by meadows, orchards and forests, family-run Rafting Camp Palfau is located in Landl’s Gesäuse National Park and is the springboard to rafting and canyoning adventures on the Salzatal river as well as hiking and cycling in the mountains. The pitches are scattered across various tree-shaded terrains – out of high season you can pick your own spot – all with a sunny location and mountain views. Facilities across the campsite include a communal firepit, electric hook-ups and water, as well as wifi in the public areas. Drinks, coffee and ice cream are available 24/7 on a self-serve basis, and a small essentials store is within a few minutes’ walk, along with a wooden, chalet-style restaurant that serves hot food until 8pm. On summer evenings, film screenings are held at the site.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Great location in the mountains and lovely walks nearby.

Disliked: Unfortunately, there are not staff that can police inappropriate behaviour on site in the evening. On the second night, there were a mixed group of adults playing a loud speaker until one in the morning. Additionally to this, they have an honesty police regarding their beer which a few of their rafting guides took full advantage that night also and were loudly drinking in the house next to the pitches.

It is a shame and they should have someone there to operate the site if this occurs again which I am sure it will.

Liked: Zielono, czysto i schludnie. Można robić namiot gdzie Ci pasuje. Wielkie pole. Wszystko zgodne z opisem. Można pokarmić kozy. Jest ogólnie dostępny bar. Bierzesz napoje i sam się za nie rozliczasz. Czuć duże zaufanie . Łazienki zadbane. Ubikacje czyste. Pachnie. Wrócimy i polecam od serca !♥️ zorganizowana grupa miała jedzienie.

Disliked: Brak możliwości zjedzenia obiadu kolacji. Przywieś ze soba jedzenie.

Local attractions

Rafting Camp Palfau is an ideal starting point for whitewater tours on the Salzatal river nearby – you can book rafting and canyoning tours directly on site as well as hire all the gear you need. Walking excursions can be organised too, including testing hikes past cliffside waterfalls in the awe-inspiring Palfauer Wasserlochklamm gorge (five minutes’ drive). The UNESCO-listed Nature and Geopark Styrian Eisenwurzen (25 minutes) is another fantastic spot for adrenaline-inducing whitewater rafting as well as exploring deep inside subterranean limestone complexes like Kraus Cave (10 minutes). Thankfully, the geopark is also home of gentler pursuits: Mendlingtal Adventure World (five minutes’ drive) highlights the region’s forest heritage with tours of an historic forgeman’s house, grain mill and a bakery. See how wood was once transported down the river at the Austrian Forest Museum Silvanum (15 minutes), where there are also sledge and raft rides to keep the kids entertained, or you can tire them out further with high-ropes courses and archery lessons.
