Discover what a Balaton holiday looks like through a holidaymaker’s eyes and how a perfect day on the Aranypart unfolds.

Camping lifestyle, Aranypart style

From a Balaton holidaymaker’s perspective, Lake Balaton has always been a diverse resort rich in experiences, where proximity to the water plays a key role. The campsite and holiday resort are located directly on the shore of Lake Balaton, and several paths lead from the accommodations to Aranypart, one of Siófok’s most beautiful public beaches.

What does a lakeside location add to your holiday?

• Everything feels calmer near the water. The scent of the lake, the gentle Balaton breeze, and the lively lakeside hospitality spots all create a true holiday feeling. From a Balaton holiday perspective, Lake Balaton is both a symbol of waterside lifestyle and relaxation.
• Aranypart Camping & Apartments makes all of this even more convenient, as you hardly even need to leave your accommodation to enjoy beach experiences.
• Tip: From 1 May to 30 September, the Bamboo Island operates on the Aranypart free beach, where you can try water skiing, monoskiing, landlock, wakeboarding, and wakeskating.

The coast is waking up. Which type of accommodation will you choose?

Take a virtual walk with us through the charming streets of the campsite and holiday resort, and you will quickly get a feel for which holiday style suits you best. The Balaton holiday atmosphere arrives instantly the moment you step through the gate.

Some arrive with tents, others with caravans, transforming their own pitch into a true holiday base. As you walk past the pitches, you might see a hammock swaying, LED fairy lights glowing, or even a complete outdoor living room setup. People greet each other warmly, and many familiar faces return year after year. There is always someone to invite for a card game, or to chat with about cycling routes around Lake Balaton and nearby hiking trails waiting to be explored. In the morning, when you step out of your caravan, the smell of coffee fills the air, and your neighbour might even offer you a cup. All you need to do is sink into your camping chair and enjoy the freedom.

Our caravan pitches

On caravan pitches, electricity connection is included in the price, while on Comfort pitches you also have access to electricity, water, and wastewater connections.

As you walk past our apartments, it truly feels like you have stepped into a mini holiday universe. There are cosy houses with a clean Scandinavian-inspired design, as well as cheerful, colourful apartments that can accommodate up to 8 people, offering plenty of space for larger groups to stay comfortably.

Among our apartments, everyone can find the right accommodation for them,

whether it is a romantic getaway or a multi-generational family experience. Discover the options on our website!

All our houses have a terrace, and we can safely say that some of the most important holiday moments happen right here. Long, lazy afternoons of reading, friendly family dinners, and cheerful board game evenings. In the morning, this is where you wake up, and if you are craving fresh, soft pastries, you just slip on your slippers and walk over to the local grocery store.

Can I bring a pet to the accommodation?

Yes, you can bring your pet with you on holiday, as they are more than welcome here. They are not only allowed on our camping places but can also stay with you in our comfortable apartments. We even have a little surprise for them: we offer free entry to the nearby dog-friendly beach at Mirabella Camping in Zamárdi.

Balaton holiday: The joy of spontaneity

From a Balaton holiday perspective, many people see it as all about spontaneous adventures. In the past, you might even have travelled without knowing where you would stay in advance. The camping atmosphere today is still full of spontaneous experiences, but in high season it is unlikely that you will find a free pitch without booking ahead. Secure your place in advance! At Aranypart Camping & Apartments you can book tent places, caravan pitches, and apartments online.

AranypartON: The experience map is always at your fingertips

The Aranypart Camping & Apartments campsite map is just one click away. You might not even realise how much it can add to your holiday if you take a moment to use it from time to time.

A Balaton holiday feels different, it means a more relaxed, natural rhythm. It is perfectly fine if breakfast turns into late morning. You can rest under the shade of the trees or by the pool, and whenever you need a bit of inspiration, the campsite map is there to help. Check where the nearest exit to the free beach is, or find the communal kitchen where you can quickly put together lunch.

You can also rent a bike at the reception, and you might quickly feel like heading out for a ride along the shore. After a longer cycling trip, you are bound to get hungry, but there is no need to cook if you do not want to. Excellent dining options are available within the accommodation area.

Everything is on the map: sanitary blocks, the laundry room, and sports fields. Fancy a volleyball match or a round of mini golf? You can also play table tennis or foosball, while mega chess adds a real beach atmosphere. For children, there is a playground as well.

Little ones can roam freely within the safe, enclosed area of the campsite and holiday resort, and they will most likely end up at the high season animation programmes anyway, as the Animacik team joins us every summer to keep their overflowing energy engaged.

Follow the pictograms and your day will practically shape itself. One experience leads to another as the Balaton holiday atmosphere naturally unfolds.

How about a relaxing cocktail at the bar in the afternoon?

When evening arrives, the campsite and holiday resort show a completely different side. Golden lights appear, along with lakeside sunsets. Immerse yourself in the moment, take photos, experiment with the light, or simply enjoy being there. As the sun goes down, the campfire is lit and a traditional goulash dinner can be prepared. Do not have a cauldron? You can rent one at the reception and also buy firewood there.

From a Balaton holiday perspective, it also means community. Your loved ones are all around you, and there is time to talk, share stories, and laugh together. The best part is that other guests are feeling the same happiness. Perhaps this is why campers form such a close-knit community.

What does this mean for your holiday?

Here, you can always borrow a bottle opener from a neighbouring fire pit or some salt for your paprika potatoes. Even more importantly, you are surrounded by smiling faces, which will make you smile too.
