A campsite on the Gold Coast

A place that surpasses other Lake Balaton accommodation options

Our campsite offers much more than more traditional accommodation types. Its many benefits put it head and shoulder above the competition when it comes to Lake Balaton accommodation. Book your accommodation at Aranypart Camping, and you will get more than just a place to rest your head while on holiday.

We offer quality services and a range of leisure activities that guarantee complete relaxation even if you decide not to leave the campsite at all. You will find everything here that you need to wholly replenish your body and your mind, to have fun and to relax.

The cherry on top is that the campsite is located on Siófok’s Gold Coast, one of the best bits of Lake Balaton. It is well worth taking a long break here or coming back for repeated visits because there are loads to do in the surrounding area. If you want to get the full Lake Balaton experience this year, we suggest you don’t put off your visit until the peak season starts. There are so many adventures to embark on here in the spring.

Aranypart Camping is one of the best Lake Balaton accommodation options even in the off-season. Its beautiful grounds and ideal location are unmatched by other accommodation options. In the spring, the best way to have a camping holiday is in a caravan or in one of our heated mobile houses or cabins.

What makes the holiday unforgettable is not just the comfortable campsite but also the plenty of nearby attractions. Siófok has a wide range of activities on offer, from boat trips to events in the town and fantastic hiking destinations nearby. It is also a family-friendly town, and can be the best choice for holiday-makers who travel with children.

The luxury of choice at the campsite

Most people are aware that today’s campsites offer complete comfort while on holiday, but there is more to the experience than that. There are few other Lake Balaton accommodation options that support active relaxation to such an extent. Aranypart Camping has everything you need for the perfect holiday.

Excellent food and drink, snack bars, a grocery store and fire pits ensure you won’t ever need to leave the grassy grounds dotted with beautiful trees and situated right by the waterside when you feel like a delicious lunch or atmospheric dinner. In the summer, going to the beach and other water-based activities tend to be the most popular, but the spring is ideal for enjoying outdoors sports and games, and the campsite has plenty of facilities for those.

Read on for a bit of information about all the services we offer to make our guests’ holidays the best they can be.

Services to ensure a perfect holiday

If you are considering taking a quick break before the peak season starts, our campsite is probably your best option when it comes to Lake Balaton accommodation. You will find everything you want right here because most of our services are available before, during and after the peak season.

There is more detail below on when each service is available from, but most of them are at your fingertips right from opening day. The campsite has a volley ball court, a playground, table tennis, mini golf and foosball, and you can use any or all of these while you’re on holiday with us. As soon as the campsite opens, you can build a campfire, rent an outdoors cooking pot and enjoy dinner in the fresh air even on the first night of your holiday, if you wish.

If you arrive in a caravan, you can hire a fridge or fridge compartment at any time. The fully-equipped sanitary block, kitchen, washer-dryers and facilities for washing up dishes are also available whenever the campsite is open. If you bring the whole family, you won’t have to lug around all the equipment needed for the youngest holiday-makers because we can provide a cot, a baby bath and a high chair for your use.

Services available in the off-season

Food and drink

When choosing your Lake Balaton accommodation, make sure to also take into account options for eating and drinking. After all, you’ll have to eat during your holiday, and it’s the perfect time to spoil yourself a bit with some delicacies. Our campsite is the only Lake Balaton accommodation option where you have the whole range of alternatives for getting food and drink at your disposal. If you are one of those people who like to prepare their own food, you can use our cooking facilities, and you should definitely try outdoors cooking as well.

But convenience is still the order of the day when it comes to eating, thanks to the excellent snack bars, restaurants and even a grocery right at the campsite.

Snack Bars

• Aranypart Terrace: open from 21 April.
• Egyálom Terrace: open every weekend between 19 May and 4 June.

Grocery store

• The grocery store is open from 21 April, and has everything you need to make a delicious, unhurried breakfast.

Restaurant

• Bicycle hire is available from 21 April.

Book your off-season accommodation

If you are already looking at options for Lake Balaton accommodation, and would like to try camping on the Gold Coast this year, you should consider visiting off-season. You can book your accommodation online at any time, and use your debit or credit card to pay. Don’t hesitate to book, though, because accommodation is snatched up quickly even during this period, so make sure to avoid disappointment.

Siófok55 – Jubilee events in Siófok

Siófok is going to have an exciting year in 2023, as a series of special jubilee events will make it even busier than usual. The town celebrates its 55th birthday, and there are a number of other significant anniversaries this year, too. Balaton Dance Ensemble is 60 years old, and sculptor Imre Varga was born 100 years ago. The Siófok55 jubilee celebrations will include many cultural events, activities for children and special festivities throughout the year.

Spring adventures

To many people, Lake Balaton is synonymous with enjoying the beach, whether by having a splash or by spending long and pleasant summer evenings by the water. But Siófok has far more to offer than that. It is well worth visiting in the spring because it hosts a broad range of cultural events. The Imre Kálmán Cultural Centre is home to excellent theatre productions, concerts, solo performances and musicals from as early as April.

Unmatched views and an exhibition

The Siófok Water Tower is a popular attraction that offers fantastic views of Lake Balaton. The Water Tower got a makeover this year, and now it boasts a two-storeyed exhibition space that showcases the works of Imre Varga to commemorate the jubilee year.

Pentecost Rose Celebration

Make sure to visit over the Pentecost long weekend, which is when Siófok hosts its annual Pentecost Festival, dubbed the Pentecost Rose Celebration this year. The festival will include the opening of the recently renovated Rose Garden along with concerts and a whole range of other events by Lake Balaton. You should make the most of the extra days off, not just to attend some of the exciting events on offer but also because the long weekend over Pentecost is ideal for a quick trip to Lake Balaton.

Cycling around Lake Balaton

There is a dizzying array of events on offer in Siófok. You can’t possibly get bored here, especially if you hop in the saddle of a bike and go exploring around Lake Balaton. You can bring your own bike or hire one at Aranypart Camping. There are myriad things to discover on two wheels, including countless attractions and many amazing bike routes.

The cycle path along the Sió Canal

If you don’t shy away from a challenge, the cycle path along the Sió Canal is an absolute must when visiting Siófok. The route starts from the Water Tower and meanders through a picturesque wilderness for 26 km before returning to the town centre.

Boat trips – Set sail in Siófok

The best events of 2023 are definitely taking place in Siófok, but if you want to pair them with an authentic Lake Balaton experience, you simply must visit Siófok Harbour and set sail.  Boat trips are among the most popular activities over the spring and the summer.

Summer music festivals

With all the varied events in Siófok that are taking place over the summer, you are guaranteed not to get bored. Theatre-lovers will be spoilt in the spring, while the summer is the season for music festivals.  The menu of music events in Siófok in 2023 include New Orleans Jazz Festival, which has become a real staple over its 20 years of history, and which is celebrating an important anniversary this year.

Balaton Retro Fever will take place in August, showcasing the greatest performers of the 1990s and 2000s. This year’s event is special because the cream of Hungarian music will be joined by two international superstars. The Celebration of Wine and Bread will take place as the summer is coming to an end, with the traditional events of 20 August getting a special boost by the opportunity to taste a range of excellent wines.

Make unforgettable memories on the Gold Coast

With all the events in Siófok taking place over 2023, it is not easy to decide when to book your Lake Balaton holiday for. Aranypart Camping could well be the ideal accommodation for you whether you are visiting before, during or after the peak season. During the fresh spring days, your best option is a heated mobile house or cabin, or a caravan holiday. On the other hand, in the dog days of the summer, there is nothing quite like the experience of a proper tent holiday at the campsite. The list of events in Siófok extends beyond what happens in the town: Aranypart Camping offers a wide range of options to relax or enjoy an interesting event.

Events at Aranypart Camping

Aranypart Camping is situated in the most beautiful part of Siófok. It has its own private beach and picturesque grounds. The campsite has everything you need for a perfect holiday. You won’t even have to leave if you don’t want to, thanks to the on-site restaurant, snack bar and grocery store. If you’re looking for a spot of active relaxation, give the outdoors sports facilities, table tennis, foosball, football pitch or volley ball court a try. You can also hire a bicycle or electric scooter, or enjoy water sports right on the site. The campsite hosts animation events to ensure families can also enjoy a fun holiday together. Watch the website for updates on the latest events, and make sure to book your accommodation in time.

The off-season is about to start

If you feel like you need a proper break or even just a quick trip somewhere nice, don’t hesitate. In the long run, running yourself into the ground can have all sorts of negative consequences. Spring is for enjoying. The awakening of nature and the increasingly sunny weather will help maintain your balance.  Aranypart Camping is located in Siófok, and will open its gates to visitors on 21 April, so make the most of this opportunity to book a trip to Lake Balaton. If you haven’t tried camping in the spring yet, it may sound like a surprising idea because most people associate camping holidays with hot summer evenings. But off-season camping can provide an unmatched holiday experience. On top of all that, you can stay in accommodation that is not just comfortable but also cheap.

We all need a bit of R&R

Neglecting to take the time to rest and recuperate can cause tiredness and low mood, so it is best to take care to avoid that. All it takes is a couple breaks and trips, whether short or long. The summer is some time off yet, but that’s no reason to run yourself into the ground with work. Your reserves will typically be depleted by this time of year, so it’s little surprise if you feel like skipping a few months to finally immerse yourself in that summer feeling. Thankfully, there is a solution because the spring offers a whole range of options for relaxation. It is also one of the best times of the year to visit Lake Balaton.

Spring break at the campsite

It is a well-known fact that today’s campsites far exceed the standards you may remember from your childhood. Unforgettable memories that will stay with you for a lifetime are just as easy to make, but now you can also expect quality services and a relaxing break when you go camping. What’s more, camping continues to be one of the cheapest forms of accommodation. Aranypart Camping is a campsite in this modern sense. It has a range of accommodation types on offer so that everyone can find the one that best suits their preferences, and most of the high-quality services offered here are available even before peak season starts. Thanks to all its attractive features and comfort, the campsite is actually more like a holiday village.

Activities and an authentic camping experience

If you’re wondering what a trip to Lake Balaton in the spring is like, consider all the benefits that come with booking your holiday for before the peak season starts. You will miss the crowds that characterise summertime, so your break will be a lot calmer and more relaxing. The weather is just perfect for all sorts of outdoors activities. The sun is already shining but temperatures are bearable, which makes the idea of doing something in the fresh air a lot more attractive.

Active leisure

If you like exploring and active relaxation is your thing, then you should definitely consider hopping in the saddle of a bike for a trip. You can hire bicycles at the campsite, so all you have to do is pick one of the countless exciting attractions in Siófok or a local day trip destination.

You won’t even have to leave the campsite to enjoy some active leisure, though, because guests can take their pick from a range of sports facilities, including volley ball, table tennis, mini golf and foosball.

A bite to eat

It is easy to get hold of something delicious to eat, too. The campsite has a restaurant, a snack bar and a grocery store right on your doorstep, so you will definitely find what you’re looking for. Or just use a fire pit to cook or roast something, and enjoy the beautiful flames of the campfire. Even putting the food aside, it is worth trying your hand at outdoor cooking for the atmosphere alone.

The wonderful Lake Balaton

Last, but definitely not the least, there is Lake Balaton in all its beauty. It’s at its best in the spring, with just a few white sails dotted around its calm surface. It is the picture of calm brought to life, and is guaranteed to help you forget all your worries during your break. You can drink in all that beauty standing on the beach or even set sail and embark on a boat trip right here in Siófok.

The best accommodation types for comfort

If you want to see Lake Balaton before the peak season starts, and are looking for cheap but comfortable accommodation, you will definitely find something that suits your requirements in the Aranypart Camping range. You’re best off picking one of our heated mobile houses or cabins but if you’re feeling like a true classic, nothing beats arriving at the campsite in your very own caravan (or just rent one).

Our accommodation is cosy, practical and attractive, and comes with well-equipped kitchens, corner sets, comfortable beds and modern furniture.

A roomy patio

Each mobile house has a patio so all you have to do is step out of your front door to enjoy the fresh air, have a long chat that reminds you of pleasant early summer days or settle down with a good book.

It is worth reserving your accommodation as soon as possible because these offers are extremely popular in the off-season. Avoid disappointment and book a pleasant long weekend or a quick extra break now. You can calculate the price and you’re your accommodation online, and pay for it using your debit or credit card.

What’s new for the 2023 camping season

The long-awaited start of the season is now just around the corner, and our campsite will once again come alive on 21 April. Siófok, and especially the Gold Coast, have always been popular holiday destinations, as they offer lots to discover all year round, along with plenty of options for some rest and relaxation. Between the spring and the autumn, you can also enjoy water-based adventures around Lake Balaton, so Aranypart Camping is definitely worth visiting even in the off-season. We have loads of new things on offer this year, promising guests an even more fantastic holiday than ever before.

For those who love active relaxation

Are you staying at the campsite? Head over to the Wakeboard – Bamboo Island!

All guests at Aranypart Camping who are wearing their wristbands can enjoy a buy-one-get-one-free offer on wakeboard services at Bamboo Island. Wakeboard – Bamboo Island is situated around 80 metres from the beach. You should definitely try to make the most of this offer and enjoy the floating oasis with its very own snack bar, loungers and parasols so that you can relax in style while also having a whole host of water sports at your fingertips.

The offering includes wakeboards, Landlock and wakeskates, paired and single skis, but you can even learn to surf if that’s what you feel like. The course has professional trainers who will be on hand to help with anything. Don’t worry if you are a beginner and don’t have your own kit yet: you will be able to hire everything you’ll need.

Explore by bike

Bicycle hire

The area surrounding Siófok is full of attractions, but if you’d prefer to stay close to the lake and discover where the cycle paths will take you, bicycle hire is definitely the way to go. You can hire a bike at the campsite right from the start of the season. Bicycles are your best option to visit nearby attractions or to go on short trips.

Wellness experiences right at the campsite

Massage

These days, no holiday is complete without a bit of pampering for both body and soul. Aranypart Camping has all the most popular wellness services right on your doorstep.

A refreshing massage will not only relax your muscles but is also guaranteed to lift your mood. Call +36 30 691 5318 to make an appointment.

Heated pool

Thanks to our heated pool, you won’t be missing out on the full beachside experience even when Lake Balaton is a little too cool for comfort. Adults will love a bit of bathing, but from 1 July the pool also hosts water-based animation activities for children.

What’s new at the campsite

The campsite gets a makeover before the season starts every year, but this time we really pulled out all the stops to offer an even larger, more comfortable and – thanks to the new trees – shadier area for you to spend a relaxing holiday in. Starting from the 2023 season, you can enjoy a new area for tents that spans 1,500 square metres, and there are 60 newly planted trees, too. Thanks to the expansion, you can set up your tent in an even roomier and more comfortable space now. On top of all that, the interiors of the Rosa and Carmen cabins have been redecorated.

A new fence has been installed along the boundary of the campsite towards Lake Balaton, and the look of the restaurant has been updated. The shop and the animation building have also received a spectacular makeover.

No camping holiday would be complete without some outdoors cooking. By popular demand, we have updated the existing fire pits and installed new ones that you can hang a pot over.

This season also brings a new kind of outdoor leisure activity to the campsite: a giant chess set is the latest addition to our long list of games facilities.

Mid-spring is just around the corner. The sun is out, waves are appearing on the surface of Lake Balaton, and it increasingly obvious the time is just right for a quick break.
