Spend less on your holiday

At one time or another, everyone has considered ways to reduce their spending while on holiday. Especially when travelling with your whole family, you have to give some thought to what you can afford and how much you spend. Sadly, hospitality prices (both for accommodation and eating out) have increased by around 15 to 30% over the past year, so it is definitely worth opting for a type of accommodation that helps you save.

 

A tent is the cheapest option

Many think they are too old to sleep in a tent, and others may consider it uncomfortable, but staying in a tent is actually great fun if you pick one that is right for you. If you are serious about camping, it is well worth buying a more expensive model because it will continue to serve you for many years to come.

With hotel prices at their current levels, even a high-tech tent will pay for itself in a single summer season. When it comes to price, nothing beats a tent pitch. The overall cost will depend on the date and the location, of course, but you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else to stay at this price level.

Camping is a way of life. If you are flexible and open to new experiences, and if you enjoy nature, do not hesitate to embark on a tent holiday. At any rate, you will spend most of your time away from your bed, on the beach, in the woods or on an excursion, or maybe sitting by the campfire, so the tent is really only for sleeping in and to store your luggage. So why pay more just to have a place to retire to at night?

 

Camping in back in vogue

Camping is no longer only for those with a nostalgia for the summer camps of their childhoods. An increasing number swear by it as the best way to relax. Campsites are making every effort to satisfy even the most discerning customers, offering a range of high-quality extra services, and well-kept grounds. Camping is definitely trendy, maybe even fancy right now. All you need to make the most of it is the right outdoors equipment.

 

Luxury tents are also available

Some inflatable models can cost between HUF 200,000 and HUF 300,000, but they can be set up in about 10 minutes with the right pump; all you have to do is fix your tent to the ground.

Inflatable tents are very sturdy, can resist even strong winds, and provide spacious accommodation. When it rains, the awning can provide shelter, and with a simple set of patio furniture you can be even more comfortable than you would be at home.

In summary, these tents can be ideal for those who do not want to spend too much time setting up their tent and packing it away, but also do not want to compromise on comfort and room, especially if they are camping as a family.

Environmentally friendly cotton

Cotton is a natural, breathable fabric, which can last for years with the right care. When it is used to make tents, it provides excellent airflow in dry weather, and water resistance when it rains. Your portable accommodation has to go through the so-called weathering process before being used.

Brand new tents are not entirely waterproof, so they need to be exposed to rain for at least 45 minutes, then dried completely. This causes the fabric around the stitches to contract. As a result, when they get wet the next time, the fibres swell up, rendering the fabric waterproof. You may need to repeat this process in order to achieve a permanent effect.

 

Reserve a tent pitch online

Aranypart Camping offers online booking for tent pitches, so you can make a reservation well in advance to avoid disappointment on arrival. This way, nothing will get in the way of your plans.

How much can you save by renting a tent pitch?

A double room in a hotel or an apartment for two people will typically cost in the region of HUF 20,000 per night. You can book A tent pitch will set you back by a fraction of that: between HUF 2,100 and HUF 3,250 per person.

If you take a family holiday, the number of people you have to budget for can also make a substantial difference. Renting a tent pitch already includes the cost of two people, so you only have to top that up for any additional holiday-makers.

A quick calculation shows that a family of four can save up to HUF 100,000 over the course of a week-long holiday.

The 2023 wakeboard season

Wakeboard course is now available to campers

At Aranypart Camping, you can really immerse yourself in the joys of the waterfront lifestyle. Here you will find everything you need for carefree relaxation. Outdoor games, sports facilities, a heated outdoor pool and the wonderful Lake Balaton beach all await you. Those who have already visited us know that you can expect lazy mornings and, depending on your preference, active or relaxing days during your holiday at our campsite.

The 2023 season brings another great opportunity for lovers of water sports and adventure-seeking campers. The Wakeboard – Bamboo Island now awaits those who wish to conquer the waves, and is situated a mere 80 metres from the shore.

 

Waterfront adventures – At discount with an Aranypart wristband

This year, Wakeboard – Bamboo Island has a great offer for all guests of the campsite. If you have an Aranypart Camping wristband, you can take advantage of a two-for-one discount for all wakeboard services offered at Bamboo Island.

Services at Bamboo Island

You can rent all the equipment you will need on Bamboo Island, and their professional, expert instructors are also on hand to ensure you can make some truly unforgettable memories. After some vigorous physical activity, you can enjoy a spell of relaxation on this amazing floating oasis. Bamboo Island has spots for resting, loungers, parasols and a fantastic little snack bar, too.

 

Bamboo to open in early July

We all know by now that it is impossible to get bored in Siófok. As soon as the good weather arrives, the town is filled with life and each year it welcomes visitors with so many attractions and a long and varied list of events. Waterfront adventures will start on 9 June 2023, when the water skiing season finally starts in Siófok. At the beginning of the month, the Bamboo Water Ski course will also open to visitors.

 

What makes wakeboarding special?

Wakeboarding, also known as water skiing, is a truly extreme sport that combines elements of skiing, snowboarding and surfing, but at the same time offers a completely different challenge from, say, classic windsurfing. Wakeboarders glide on top of the water while being pulled by a motorboat using a rope, or towed along a rope course.

Maintaining stability is not an easy task, it definitely requires practice, but the speed and proximity to the water guarantees an unmatched experience to those who persist. This sport is a great choice for any adrenaline-junkie athletes.

Water skiing allows you to push your limits and enjoy the incomparable experience that an extreme sport provides. It's no wonder that wakeboarding is becoming increasingly popular on Lake Balaton, as well.

The Bamboo Water Ski Course attracts young people and all those who want to try something new and exciting on their holiday. What makes wakeboarding so attractive is that this activity offers a perfect combination of a serious sport and a relaxed waterfront lifestyle, allowing you to experience true freedom while also being proud of a genuine athletic achievement.

 

Who is this sport recommended for?

Wakeboarding is far from an ordinary sport, so it is primarily recommended for those who like challenges and have some experience on the water, or are water sport enthusiasts already. It is a very exciting sport that is both fun and a true test of your fitness level.

Since you’ll have to maintain the balance of your body during water skiing, this sport requires some serious muscle work while also having a positive effect on developing coordination skills.

The accepted wisdom is that this sport is best suited for those who are relatively experienced in water sports or have a good level of fitness because it can be difficult for beginners the first few times. All beginnings are difficult, and this is certainly the case for water skiing. When you are trying it for the first time, controlling the board or even to stay on the surface of the water van be a real challenge.

Nevertheless, you mustn’t let the initial difficulties put you off. Once you get the hang of it, the experience is unlike anything else. Gliding freely on the water, enjoying the speed and feeling the glow of pride from an athletic achievement can provide an exhilarating adrenaline rush.

Until then, you can experiment safely on the Bamboo Water Ski course, as using the right equipment and following the safety rules will help ensure that everyone can enjoy the wakeboarding experience without having to worry.

 

Accommodation booking and wakeboard experiences

It is very easy to book your accommodation online at Aranypart Camping, and you can use your debit or credit card to pay. All it takes is a couple of minutes to secure your preferred spot on your selected dates.

When you arrive at the campsite, you will receive a wristband, which makes leaving and re-entering much simpler. You can also use it to benefit from the buy-one-get-one-free offer at Bamboo Island Wake Park. Camping, summer adventures and freedom. What more could you want?

Weekdays or weekends?

Relax at Aranypart Camping this spring

Camping is a fantastic experience even in the spring, so it’s little wonder the season opening is a much-anticipated event. On 1 April 2023, Aranypart Camping fills with life. It is simply impossible to say no to a break here. Siófok gets quite busy over the weekends in the spring, but the beaches of Lake Balaton are still a lot quieter on the weekdays. As the summer approaches and the weather gets warmer, the water seems increasingly attractive. Make use of this special time of year and make some summery experiences over the spring season.

 

Heated cabins and mobile houses Siófok Lake Balaton Aranypart Camping Siófok, Lake Balaton

 

Why do we recommend weekdays in the spring?

 

1. You can have Lake Balaton to yourself during the week

The spring season offers the unique opportunity of visiting even the most popular destinations without having to cope with crowds and queuing. The beaches of Lake Balaton are more peaceful, with nothing but the undisturbed water as far as you can see, and you can take a relaxing walk under the trees on the beach. There are no crowds, and sometimes you will positively feel like you have Lake Balaton all to yourself.

Aranypart Camping opens in the spring, but we don’t have a full house yet at this time. If you visit us during the week, you will have the whole range of leisure and comfort services at your disposal.

 

2. Less stress

Most people tend to schedule their holiday for the summer, so they miss out on all the benefits of taking a break in the spring. During the off-season, you can avoid the crowds both at the campsite and at the various local attractions, which makes for a more peaceful and less stressful holiday experience.

No one enjoys queuing or realising at the last minute that there are no more places on the boat they wanted to board. You can save yourself these unpleasant experiences by booking your holiday for the spring, and skipping the crowds. Nothing beats the feeling of getting in simply and quickly wherever you want to go. It’s no wonder an increasing number of people are opting for off-season holidays, so weekends in Siófok can feel rather like the busy summer season.

 

3. Nature is amazing

In the spring, you can enjoy the mild weather that is perfect for outdoors activities: it is not too hot, so you will feel freer and more energised, and readier to set off to explore or engage in some active relaxation. Also, the nights are cool, making it much easier to have a relaxing sleep.

Spring is the time of revival in nature. Both plants and animals get more active, the trees turn a fresh green, and colourful flowers pop up all over the place. To make the most of these amazing gifts of nature, why not go for a hike or just take long walks along the beach and drink in all you can see. You can avoid the crowds by visiting during the week, and there will be fewer people at the most popular attractions, too, which makes for a more peaceful experience, and will allow you to explore the beauty of the surrounding area at your own pace.

 

4. More options for less money

One of the greatest benefits of a break during the week is that there is a wider range of activities and events at your disposal than during the weekend. On weekdays, you can experience everyday life in the town, and you have a better chance of finding shops open and service available.

Weekends are very popular with people who want to visit Lake Balaton, even in the spring, so there is a good chance you can save some money by booking your holiday for the working week, compared to visiting over the weekend. Prices for some services and entry tickets are typically lower on spring weekdays, but the best thing is that even your accommodation at Aranypart Camping will cost you less.

 

5. Weekdays are more relaxing than the weekend

The “drab day-to-day” is a commonly used description for the longest part of the week. A quick weekend break can be refreshing, but it often feels too short, and does not reenergise you to the extent you hoped. Actually, you may be returning home from an activity-packed weekend more exhausted, and feel even more tired than you were before. What’s gone wrong?

The key is timing. You can’t have a relaxing break if you have to constantly rush from one activity to the next. You need to take the time to enjoy them properly and to be able to savour the experience. A weekend is simply too short for that. Most of us work during the week, so if you want to leave the rat race behind for a spell, it is well worth taking a few days off and adding them to the weekend so that your trip to Lake Balaton won’t feel like it’s gone past in a blur. That way you can have a genuine holiday experience.

 

Top tip: Make use of the long weekends. They are practically designed for taking a break. Feeling a bit naughty? Why not extend the weekend yourself, take a few days off work and stay on at the campsite, while everyone else is already back at their desks. After a whirl of fantastic activities, you can enjoy some peace and quiet, and have Lake Balaton all to yourselves.

 

You can book your accommodation online simply, with just a few clicks. You can use your debit or credit card to pay. Remember, even Mondays are amazing by Lake Balaton.

 

 

 

A holiday by Lake Balaton in April?

Aranypart Camping opens in April!

At last, the best part of the year by Lake Balaton is about to start, and Aranypart Camping is opening on 21 April with a great off-season offer. Spring is a busy time at the campsite as we make sure that everything is ready for when visitors start to arrive. We are often asked why we open in April. Some of you seem to think it is too early for a holiday by Lake Balaton.

 

Is it really too early?

We have a host of reasons to say with confidence that it is never too early to go on holiday. We at Aranypart Camping love Lake Balaton in the spring, and want to share with you all the fantastic experiences you can have here at this time of year. You simply have to come and try it for yourselves, that’s the only way to really appreciate all the benefits of an off-season holiday and to feel the gentle warmth of the spring sun on your skin. And while you’re still in the planning stage for the first holiday of the year, read on to learn more about all the reasons that make a springtime camping break so special.

 

What’s there to do by Lake Balaton the spring?

Most of us simply love holidays by the water, so little wonder that Lake Balaton and the ever-busy town of Siófok are among the country’s top tourist destinations every summer. Many think, however, that April and May are too early for a trip to Lake Balaton, because the weather in Hungary over these months doesn’t lend itself to the classic beach holiday. But there’s far more to Lake Balaton than splashing about in the water. There are plenty of exciting events, great day trip destinations and interesting sights in the surrounding area. Most of these activities are actually a lot more fun in the mild spring weather than over the dog days of summer.

There’s plenty to explore in Siófok, but if you don’t want to leave the campsite, you can still enjoy any number of activities that will help you relax, forget about the dreary everyday, and spend some quality time with your family and friends. Why put that off by another couple of months when you can start enjoying outdoors activities, eat great food, relax and experience an altogether carefree life as early as April?

A couple of ideas for the perfect off-season camping experience:

 

Enjoy the beach

Visiting the beach in the spring may sound like an odd idea, but actually you can relax on the beach of Lake Balaton and enjoy the sunshine at any time of year, including in the spring. You can even sunbathe when the weather gets a bit warmer. If you’re bold enough, why not have a dip in the ice-cold water? It is an excellent way to reduce stress and improve your circulation and it is also a great dare! Don’t forget to use appropriate sun protection and stay hydrated even in the spring, though.

 

Lakeside walks

The spring is one of the best times to enjoy a pleasant stroll on the beach. Temperatures are still comfortably mild and beaches are not nearly as crowded as they are in the summer. Explore all the paths on the lakeside and enjoy the unforgettable views.

 

Water sports

April and May are the perfect months to try water sports such as windsurfing, kayaking or SUP. The spring is ideal for getting some practice under your belt in water sports because there are fewer people in the water at this time than in the summer.

 

Angling

Did you know that the spring brings good luck to anglers? The water is not too warm yet, so the fish are more active. Pick a great spot, unpack your fishing rod and you can start enjoying some peace and quiet straight away.

 

Beach volleyball

Aranypart Camping has facilities for a number of outdoors sports, including volleyball, a favourite of ours. Organise your friends or family into a team and start enjoying some active relaxation without having to leave the campsite.

 

Picnics

Bring a hamper, a blanket and start enjoying some delicious food right on the shores of Lake Balaton. Picnics are about more than just food: they are also an excellent way to relax. You can pick up everything you need for an idyllic experience right in the on-site grocery shop.

 

 

 

Drink in the sunset

Sunsets by Lake Balaton are astounding around the year, but the spring is a special time because it is the season when nature regains its colours. The fresh foliage of the trees and the blue of the water re-energises those who look at them, and the softer light of the sun makes afternoon and early evening views particularly striking.

 

A photo trip

These days, all you need to start snapping some pictures is right in your pocket all the time but if photography is your hobby or if you even have a professional kit, you simply cannot give Lake Balaton a miss in the spring. There are no crowds at this time, so it is much easier to take some memorable photos of the breathtaking Lake Balaton views.

 

Adventures on two wheels

You can even hire a bike at Aranypart Camping, hop in the saddle and set off to explore the treasures of the surrounding area. Hire a bike and experience the freedom of rising around on two wheels.

 

And much, much more…

These are just some of the ideas you can easily make a reality over a springtime camping holiday. There are many more great activities including the incomparable atmosphere of outdoor cooking at the campsite, going on a boat trip from Siófok harbour, drinking in the sights of the town or joining one of the fantastic local events. When it comes to spending your free time in a fun way, your imagination is truly the only limit.

 

Do you want to try an off-season holiday? Book your accommodation at Aranypart Camping

In summary, an off-season camping holiday offers more than just comfort: it is also the perfect choice for those who are looking for some peace and quiet, and want to experience true freedom and the beauty of nature undisturbed. If you’ve got in the mood for a quick trip to Lake Balaton, all you need to do is book your accommodation online. Don’t delay because free spots are snapped up quickly.

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.

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.

 

Balaton accommodation – Aranypart Camping in Siófok

 

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.

The off-season is the best time to enjoy hikes and explore the surrounding area. Why not hop in the saddle of a bike and set off on a trip to discover some hidden gems around Lake Balaton. You can hire a bike at the campsite right from the opening.

 

 

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.

A range of events in Siófok

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.

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.

The cycle path along the Sió Canal

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.

The break you really need

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.

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.

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.

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. All you have to do is book your accommodation at Aranypart Camping, enjoy the great weather and try all the new additions in addition to our tried-and-tested services. Booking online is quick and easy, and you can use any major debit or credit card to pay. Make the most of the off-season discount and have a cheaper holiday as soon as April!

 

 

The holiday village

A holiday village that brings people together

A modern campsite is more than just accommodation. It is more like a holiday village, and offers far more than you might think at first. To many, camping brings back fond memories of special childhood moments, school trips and holidays with friends and family. A camping holiday promises a lot of unforgettable memories, from the fun of pitching the tent to outdoor cooking, splashing around in the water and playing all sorts of games. It is all about relaxation and the joy of being together.

But today, camping offers even more than that. Aranypart Camping places great emphasis on its convenience services, so these holidays are just as much about comfort as they are about adventure. On the other hand, this modern and comfortable camping experience also has the potential to build a real team out of the holidaymakers, be they families, groups of friends or even school classes. It is this combination of comfort and team building that makes a modern campsite a true holiday village.

Choosing a holiday village may just be the best option to make the most of this group activity. What makes accommodation suitable for a group holiday? Read on for some important considerations.

Excellent location

Aranypart Camping is well deserving of the name of holiday village because it is certainly big enough to host even large groups. It is situated in Siófok, one of the busiest towns around Lake Balaton. The location is ideal for a group holiday, whether it’s a workplace team building holiday, a school trip or a training course. Such trips usually involve more than just scheduled activities, and attendees often have the opportunity to engage in some leisure activities. Picking the right location can help ensure everyone has a good time, even if you are travelling as part of a large group. Siófok has a range of options for scheduled activities as well as leisurely exploration, whether you feel like taking a stroll in town or by the beach of Lake Balaton.

The campsite as a community space

Whether you choose to stay in a tent, in a mobile house or in a cabin, large groups arriving at the campsite are broken up into smaller units. One of the benefits of this arrangement is that holiday-makers can maintain a sense of privacy, and they can build even tighter bonds with a smaller circle of fellow travellers, while staying together in the holiday village. Such experiences can help establish really strong connections, not just during the school years but also as an adult. Once all holiday-makers are put up in their accommodation units, they can set out to create a personalised atmosphere in their temporary home, regardless of which type of accommodation they have chosen.

The campsite also has lots of shaded areas that are ideal for large groups to play games in. With a dash of creativity, any team leader or class tutor can introduce team building activities and group rituals to jazz up the days the holiday-makers spend at the campsite.

The campsite as an informal learning space

Whether they are embarking on a school trip or some other trip as a group, both organisers and participants often want to go beyond a simple holiday, and to have the opportunity for personal development and engage in some fun and entertaining learning. Camping can certainly tick this box. It offers an opportunity to acquire a range of practical skills without even noticing it. Just think about the fun moments of setting up the tent, or drawing up the campsite rules together. All these activities contribute to honing skills that are essential for a successful life. Camping lets holiday-makers demonstrate their ability to cooperate and creativity as well as the ability to relax, reduce stress and enjoy a laugh together.

Rest and relaxation

No holiday village is complete without convenience services of the highest quality. Aranypart Camping offers everything you may need for an unforgettable holiday experience. You don’t even have to leave the campsite to eat out, as it has an on-site restaurant, snack bar and grocery store. You won’t have to worry about washing your clothes, either, thanks to the laundry service available on the campsite. Communal areas are cleaned on a regular basis, and are spotless. On top of all that, Aranypart Camping offers a whole host of leisure activities, from an experience pool to a volley ball court, to table tennis, foosball and mini gold. This is what makes Aranypart Camping a real holiday village. And to top it all off, you have Lake Balaton and the beach. There is definitely no other place that can offer this level of rest and relaxation.

Book your accommodation or make an inquiry

If you are organising a trip for a group, you should reserve accommodation as soon as possible, even if you haven’t worked out every detail of the timetable just yet. When you are trying to book accommodation for a number of people at the same time, it is easy to miss out on the best opportunities unless you secure your place by making a booking online. It is important to note that your online booking is only considered completed when you have paid the deposit. You can use any credit or debit card to make the payment.

A quote can come in really handy during the planning phase, when you are trying to get a sense of the overall cost of the trip for the whole group. You can make an inquiry online, and get a personalised official quote in your inbox within 24 hours. All you have to do then is discuss it, make the booking and start planning for the adventure.
