Pets are truly considered part of the family. Even after a stressful day, the presence of your beloved cat or dog can calm you down. This connection is as important on holiday as it is when you get home from work tired and they are happy to run up to you.

Aranypart Camping & Apartments is a pet-friendly accommodation, where four-legged friends are welcome in the comfortable apartments and in the camping places as well. Come down to Lake Balaton, now is still the time for an autumn getaway, we are open until 5 October!

Here’s why you should go camping in the low season

Even in the summer, many of our pets were on holiday in the campsite and holiday resort, but we find that our canine and feline guests are particularly fond of the off-season.

The autumn season is ideal for a pet-friendly getaway:

• you can book an apartment, tent place or caravan pitch at a lower off-season rate
• the weather is more pleasant – the furry ones can move around more freely, they do not suffer from the heat, and the concrete does not get so hot that their paws are in danger
• there are no crowds, which allows free movement and means less stress for the animals
• in the autumn sunshine, you are more active too, more willing to go on longer walks, for which your dog will be very grateful
• calmer environment – animals are sensitive to noise and hustle and bustle, and Lake Balaton is quieter and more peaceful in autumn
• easier travel – traffic jams are less likely to occur, and your four-legged companion will also have to spend less time in the car or crate

If you're going on holiday with a dog or cat, it's important that you and your pet are as comfortable as possible. A pet-friendly accommodation is also owner-friendly, meaning there are extra services available that increase comfort.

Your four-legged family members are also welcome in our apartments!

Here are some of the things you'll love to do at Aranypart Camping & Apartments.

What to bring when you go camping with your dog or cat?

If you're travelling with a pet, there are a few essential items you should bring with you, the most important of which is a valid vaccination book. However, dogs and cats have different needs when it comes to other things. When selecting the equipment, it is worth taking into account the individual characteristics of the animal. Here are some practical items that can come in handy on a pet-friendly trip.

Equipment for Cats

Cats are more sensitive to changes in their environment, so it is especially important to bring along their familiar items and accessories. This will make it easier for them to adjust to the new situation and to enjoy the rest together.

• Cat carrier for safe travel
• Collar with ID tag including your contact details
• Litter tray and litter (a portable version is also available)
• Food and water bowls
• Preferred food
• Favourite bed or blanket
• Favourite toy (wand, ball, travel scratching board)
• Tick and flea protection

Equipment for Dogs

Dogs love the outdoors, lots of new smells and adventures together. It's important that you have everything you need for your safety, comfort and undisturbed rest.

• Vaccination booklet, microchip certificate
• Collar/harness and leash, muzzle (both longer and shorter can be useful)
• Travel crate
• Food and water bowls (portable water bowl for excursions)
• Preferred food and treats
• Dog waste bags
• Favourite bed or blanket
• Toy (ball, chew toy)
• Tick and flea repellent

For a peaceful stay, please follow the safety regulations at the campsite and holiday resort and keep the area clean!

You can find more information about our pet-friendly rules in the house rules.

Pet-friendly places in and around Siófok

In the campsite and holiday resort you will find everything you need to relax. However, it's worth getting out and about, as the area is full of activities that your pet can join you on.

Aranypart Camping & Apartments is a family-friendly accommodation where everything is at hand to reboot tired systems, regenerate and add memories to the family album.

1. Childhood revisited - sunshine, lángos, Lake Balaton

Do you remember those nostalgic summers at Lake Balaton? The never-ending beach trips, the smell of sunscreen, the useless towel that was always wet when parents tried to lay it out for the day? Remember when the wind swept up the air mattress and you ran after it, laughing? Remember how the ice cream used to colour your tongue and the lángos was always too hot and you couldn't wait to take a bite? Do you remember the excitement of sleeping in a tent, the magic of stories told by the light of a flashlight?

Tell your children about these unforgettable moments!

At Aranypart Camping & Apartments you'll find the same experience you loved as a child, only now with your own terrace, air conditioning, a soft bed if you want it. The campsite and holiday resort is a special holiday destination, combining nostalgic values and closeness to nature, while meeting modern expectations.

Among our accommodations, you’ll find the comfort that suits you best: the fully equipped apartments offer hotel-level comfort, while caravan or tent camping brings back the charm of classic Lake Balaton summers. We also offer a wide range of services to ensure that you get the nostalgia in true luxury.

2. Waterfront on your doorstep

Lake Balaton literally starts on your doorstep here - the campsite and holiday resort is right on the shore. There are several direct exits to one of the most beautiful beaches of Siófok: Aranypart. No hauling, no logistics – just slip into your flip-flops and start enjoying the beautiful panorama, the sound of the waves, and the relaxation by the water!

At the beach, a vast, grassy, tree-lined shoreline welcomes you – and there’s always room for one more blanket. The tidy surroundings include a sandy beach, ideal for younger children. Here your kids can swim safely, build sandcastles and make cakes from pebbles.

About 80 metres from the shore, the floating Bamboo Island appears. Thanks to the May opening, you can dive into adventures even in the early season. The water sports base is a source of excitement even for bored teenagers.

A family holiday that your phone-addicted teenager enjoys with full presence? Sounds good, doesn't it? Try wakeboarding, water-skiing or mon-skiing together. Experienced trainers will help you get started. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available for relaxation after the sporting activities. And why not – phones can come out: time for those #coolparents posts on Instagram, filled with sunshine, water, and smiles.

And if you're looking for even more tranquillity, or if you're coming in low season and want to have a dip in Lake Balaton, here's the heated adventure pool of the campsite and holiday resort. Slide, sun loungers, kids splashing around, cool cocktail in hand - just what you need.

3. Drop the wooden spoon, your crispy hake is ready!

No one likes to stand over the stove for hours on end on holiday – and luckily, you don't have to. On the grounds of Aranypart Camping & Apartments, several great dining spots await you, where you’ll find everything from hearty breakfasts and satisfying lunches to classic beach meals.

Of course, you don’t have to give up the tastes of home if you want to cook – you have the option to do so, because flexibility is one of the most important things on a family holiday. Use the opportunities according to your needs!

Restaurant, buffets and bar near the beach

• The First Kitchen: Hungarian cuisine, filling dishes, with large portions.

You can sit down to breakfast, have a nice lunch and parents can choose a refreshing spritzer with a selection of delicious Balaton wines.
• Egyálom Corner: Light summer food, bistro atmosphere, wines and cocktails await you. During high season, SUP rentals are available, and you can also get ice cream.

Bring your favourite camping cookware and picnic set – good conversations, a relaxed pace, and the occasional new recipe from the neighbouring camping place are all guaranteed.
• Cooking in a cauldron, a must-have experience: The early summer evening is magical – the fire crackles, the stew simmers in the cauldron, everyone chats, and bursts of laughter ring out now and then. Every family member shares advice with the head chef: "Add a bit of spice, of course the kids will eat it! I think a little lovage is the secret." "Oh, I didn’t know you already salted it!" All the while, the children are running around, playing catch, playing in the playground, enjoying every moment of freedom. You can rent a cauldron and buy firewood at the reception.

4. Holiday made easy! Extra services in the campsite and holiday resort

At Aranypart Camping & Apartments, family holidays are comfortable - even with the little ones. You'll find everything you need without having to cram half your household into the car: At reception you can request a free baby-kit, which includes a baby cot, high chair and bath tub.

Experience how the closeness of the water reduces stress, improves your wellbeing and helps you switch off completely.

Accommodation that suits you

At Aranypart Camping & Apartments compromises are replaced by comfortable, personalised solutions. We know that the perfect holiday means something different for everyone. Here you will find the type of accommodation where you can let go of the noise of the world in the way that suits you best.

• Apartment on Aranypart: Start your day on the private terrace of your comfortable apartment, with the sound of Lake Balaton and the rustling trees in the background completing your morning.
• Are you an adventurer? Then a vacation in a tent or caravan is for you. Get even closer to nature and try a much freer lifestyle!

The camping lifestyle teaches you to slow down and enjoy the moment. These experiences help you find peace of mind more easily in the future.

2. Active relaxation and shared experiences, recharge with positive feelings

The atmosphere of Lake Balaton has a special quality, it fills you with energy and makes you want to move. If you are someone who prefers running alone, doing yoga or simply walking along the beach, you are in the perfect place with us.

A holiday by the water invites you to move. Start any sport and take the new habit home so it becomes part of your everyday life. This is how Lake Balaton makes you fitter and more confident.

Do you consider yourself more of a team player? In that case, we have great news: on-site you can play volleyball, ping-pong, mini-golf, and even mega chess at the campsite and holiday resort. The waves of Lake Balaton are hard to resist too – grab a SUP with friends and head out on the water, or cycle along the shore to discover the hidden treasures of the area. Bicycle rentals are also available at the campsite and holiday resort.

In the evenings, our cosy fire pits invite you for a traditional Hungarian stew or a bacon roast. Under the stars, there’s time and space to talk about everything you usually don’t have time for, and of course, to laugh out loud at old stories while new ones are being made.

Shared experiences strengthen friendships and family ties, and this is one of the greatest gifts you can take home with you from a vacation.

3. Balaton classics on-site – lángos, fried hake, and smiles.

At Aranypart Camping & Apartments, several stylish dining spots await, where you can enhance your holiday with tasty bites and refreshing drinks.

What makes a vacation different when you have excellent hospitality right where you are?

• Complete relaxation
  No logistics, no thinking, no cooking if you don't want to. Just enjoy having everything at your fingertips. That's true freedom.
• Peace of mind with children
  When they’re tired or hungry, you need to act fast. Just a few steps away is the solution: kid-friendly meals, snacks, and drinks. A play corner for them and a delicious cocktail for you at the lakeside bar.
• Freedom to improvise
  Breakfast on the terrace, lunch in the restaurant, a treat by the shore, dinner by the campfire? Arrange it however you like. No need to stick to set times.
• You travel with flavours too
  Balaton dishes, Mediterranean classics, beach-food that evoke the flavors of childhood – variety is guaranteed.
• Reliable spots, trusted flavours
  A randomly chosen restaurant can be a gamble. At our local dining venues, however, you feel at home – they welcome you with a friendly smile and start preparing your favourite dish right away.

4. Vacation with children: relaxation instead of organizing mode

How about an action-packed family holiday where you’re not the constant on-call? Aranypart Camping & Apartments is a true paradise for children, but don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten the parents. With us, a family holiday is a breeze: less stuff, less stress, more experiences, and finally, you get to relax too. Here’s how it’s possible:

• • Free baby-kit
    A holiday with a little one should be an adventure, not a move! You can leave the crib, high chair, and baby bath at home, because we provide them. Just ask our team at reception!
  • Enclosed, safe environment
    At the campsite and holiday resort, you can confidently let the little ones play. No need to monitor every step. They explore, make friends, and gain independence, while you kick back in a camping chair.
  • Days full of activities
    Pool, volleyball, foosball, mini-golf, ping-pong, mega chess, playground. Then there’s the campfire, board games, torchlit adventures, and magical sunsets by the shore. These are the moments you’ll remember for years to come.
  • Summer animation
    During the high season, professional animators take care of the fun. They keep the children entertained all day with games, crafts, and dancing, while you can relax and enjoy your coffee.
  • Adventure-filled region
    Siófok offers plenty of activities all year round if you want to get out and explore. From the harbour, sightseeing and experience boat trips regularly depart from spring onwards.

In the town, special panoramic spots await. Take a ride on the Ferris wheel or enjoy a view of Lake Balaton from the Water Tower. Visiting the Bella Zoo Park is a great activity for the whole family, and the area also offers plenty of museums and charming parks.

5. Pet-friendliness: extra cuteness on your holiday

Vacations with your pet are more relaxed, more fun, more adventurous, and full of joy. Your four-legged friend brings so much to your everyday life, so why would you want to be without them during your vacation?

Why is it great to go camping with your pet?

• Every moment is picture-perfect, starring your four-legged friend with Lake Balaton as the perfect backdrop.

Autumn camping at Lake Balaton?

Some people love it and some may find it unusual to go camping in the off-season, but it's a shame to resist the beautiful weather and the special atmosphere of Lake Balaton in autumn. September is here, with fresh mornings, calm beaches, colourful leaves, silence and smooth water. At this time the weather is pleasantly summery, but the prices are even more pleasant.

In the off-season you can get a full-value holiday at a very good price, right on the shore of Lake Balaton.

Camping in September is a second and final chance to recharge and really relax before the long cold months. Pack your camping gear and soak up the autumn season!

Here are some practical tips to make your September camping at Lake Balaton even more comfortable. You can manage an autumn getaway with minimal packing, but if you're looking for a longer stay, a few handy items can turn your camping place into a mini home away from home. We've rounded up what to bring and what you can safely leave at home for a few days on an island of tranquillity.

At Aranypart Camping & Apartments you can choose from a variety of accommodation. Comfortable, heated and air-conditioned apartments, spacious caravan pitches and tent places await you.

It is also worth exploring the facilities of the campsite and holiday resort, as well as the offerings of the local catering services and the mini market, since these greatly influence what you need to pack in your suitcase. Don't bring half the household, we take care of most things!

Got a free weekend? Camp in a tent or come with a caravan!

Aranypart Camping & Apartments will be open until 5 October 2025, so there's still some time left to take a dip at Lake Balaton.

Our tent places and caravan pitches of various sizes offer the same camping freedom as in summer. The only difference is that everything is a little slower and more peaceful at this time. Packing your gear is no big deal once you have a bit of routine, but autumn is also the perfect training ground for beginners. Your summer outfit, complemented with a few warmer clothes, will do just fine. You might even feel like going for a swim during the day. In the campsite and holiday resort you can relax in comfort, as you only need a few basic items, everything else is available on site.

These are the two most common mistakes to avoid when packing:

Mistake 1: You bring too much stuff.

A trunk full to the brim and too much equipment can create chaos in no time. But if you have a simple system in place, everything will be at your fingertips. To do this, it can be handy not to pack in bulk but to use transparent plastic boxes of different sizes. One for your warmer clothes, one for your beach stuff, one for your toiletries, one for your kitchen utensils. Fancy a hot shower? No need to search around for your towel, slippers and shower gel. Just grab the right box. If you are coming with a baby, you don’t need to bring a baby bath of your own, as there is one available in the shower area.

Clothes tricks: Bring only a minimal amount of clothing! The campsite and holiday resort also have token operated washing and drying machines. If you don’t let the laundry pile up, everything stays tidy, especially when travelling with others. On a multi-day trip for four to six people, you can leave a lot of clothes at home. Two changes of clothes per person are enough. While you enjoy a light cappuccino by the shore, the washing will be done.

Cooking at the campsite: You can bring your portable induction hob, beloved air fryer, kettle or coffee maker, but there’s no need to pack the entire kitchen. There are fire pits for cooking in a cauldron or roasting, a communal kitchen where you can use your frying pan, and even rentable fridge compartments available for your use. And if you've neglected cooking for the duration of your trip, here are some great restaurants to treat yourself.

Mistake 2: Not bringing the most essential items.

For autumn camping, a warmer sleeping bag, a padded blanket and some warmer clothes are essential to make evenings comfortable.

Comfort in a tent on early autumn evenings

Before imagining freezing nights, take a look at the weather forecast. In September, you can usually expect nighttime lows of around 14-15 °C, which is a few degrees warmer inside your tent. This falls perfectly within the ideal sleeping temperature range of 16-18 °C. If you put on a warmer sweater for the night, chances are the only thing you'll experience is that you'll sleep deeper in the fresh air and wake up feeling more rested. A comfortable mat or self-inflating mattress, along with your favourite small pillow, should definitely travel with you.

Electricity is available in the tent places and caravan pitches and is included in the price. Make sure to bring an extension cord if you want to use it. If you are coming by caravan and want maximum comfort, you can choose our Comfort pitches, which come with electricity, water and sewage connections.

Autumn camping essentials

• Sleeping: sleeping bag, blanket, pillow, mattress/polyfoam
• Clothing: basic wardrobe, plus a sweater, hiking shoes, socks, windbreaker for the boat, raincoat, swimsuit
• Kitchen: cutlery, mug, plate, pot, frying pan, kettle. There is a stove in the communal kitchen, but it’s a good idea to bring dish soap and a kitchen towel!
• Bathing: towel, slippers, soap, shower gel, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairdryer, toilet paper, personal care products
• Camping gear: extension cord, headlamp, phone charger, camping chair, table, backpack for hiking, tent with mosquito net
• Health: first aid kit, medications, insect repellent, band-aids, sunscreen
• Mood: picnic blanket, board games, cards, book, ball, LED string lights, hammock

Non-biting midges (Chironomidae) at Lake Balaton – useful information for our guests

This summer at Lake Balaton has seen one of the largest non-biting midge swarms of the past decades, particularly noticeable along the southern shore near Siófok. According to experts at the Balaton Limnological Research Institute, the mild winter, the warm summer, and the nutrients accumulated in the lake – primarily the high algae levels – have all contributed to the non-biting midges appearing in such large numbers this year.

It is important to emphasise, however, that non-biting midges are completely harmless – they do not bite and pose no health risk. At most, their sheer numbers can be bothersome. We know this can sometimes make a peaceful stay more difficult, so we would like to offer a few practical tips to make your evenings at Lake Balaton more enjoyable

• It's a good idea to use warm, subdued lighting on terraces, as insects are most attracted to glaring white light.
• A small fan can also help, as air movement makes it difficult for them to settle.
• If you can, schedule your outdoor activities during the day, when mosquitoes are not active, so you can enjoy the lake experience undisturbed.

We do our utmost to ensure the comfort of our guests, and we trust that the magic of Lake Balaton will remain unforgettable in this summer's special situation.

Apartments in the camping and holiday resort - home comforts, waterfront tranquillity

An apartment on the Aranypart is your best base in autumn. It has an equipped kitchen, bathroom, heating, air conditioning, fridge - everything you need. You just throw in your favourite coffee and a good book or companion. We provide the rest: linen, towels, hairdryer, cutlery, plates, cooking utensils. If you're travelling with a baby, you can also request a free baby-kit at reception, including a cot, high chair and baby bath.

Think of it as having the comfort and facilities of a hotel. That is, until you step out the door, because that's when the real extra comes. Private terrace, quiet beach, special afternoon lights, golden sunsets, Lake Balaton.

Our Beach House apartments are located directly on the beach. Enjoy the sunset from your private terrace!

Aranypart Camping & Apartments' programme tips for autumn recharging

• Dog owners love the autumn season – don’t stay home with your furry friend! There are fewer tourists at this time, which creates a calm environment that dogs enjoy. Plus, your four-legged companion won’t suffer from the summer heat, making it perfect for long autumn hikes. All our accommodation types are pet-friendly, and dogs are welcome in the apartments too!

 

• Autumn hikes and exploring the cycling paths along Lake Balaton – You don’t necessarily need to bring your own bike, as you can rent one directly at the campsite and holiday village. Download the BalatonBike365 app and ride freely.

 

• Active relaxation, activities and boat trips – Siófok remains a versatile holiday destination even in autumn. We know it’s hard to leave the comfort of the campsite and holiday resort, as everything you need is available on site, whether you’re looking for peaceful relaxation or some physical activity. Bring your ball, because there's a volleyball court! There's also mini golf, foosball and mega chess to show off your skills. If you do decide to head out, start with the Siófok Harbour! In September, you can choose from scheduled boats, sightseeing and themed cruises. You won't be bored on the beach either, there's plenty to see nearby and as the crowds have already left, you won't be queuing for hours. The Bella Zoo Park welcomes you to a very beautiful natural setting with a wide variety of animals and experiences. And for an adrenaline rush, visit the Zamárdi Adventure Park.

 

• Beach experiences and water sports in September – Don’t leave your swimsuit at home; it still feels like summer on the public beach! In September, it's not uncommon to see temperatures in the mid-30s, perfect for a beach holiday. A refreshing splash in Lake Balaton will get your blood pumping and the sun's rays will warm you right up. The campsite and holiday resort has an adventure pool for relaxation. It is also a perfect time for water sports. You can bring your own SUP and surfboard!

 

• Autumn flavours and aromas – Sit by the shore or on the terrace of your apartment with a glass of Balaton wine and take a deep breath; the scent of autumn is already in the air. The harvest festivities begin and the markets are bursting with ripe fruit. It's no surprise if you're craving a gastronomic experience. We offer delicious treats right on site, so you don’t even need to step outside the accommodation area. Our dining venues take care of your cravings. High-quality ingredients and the flavours of Lake Balaton await you in our restaurant and buffets. At the beachfront bar, it’s the perfect place for a toast!

 

• Campfire and cauldron cooking: One of the best parts of autumn camping is when the campfire is lit after sunset, you pull out your favourite cosy sweater, and the heavenly aroma of a cauldron-cooked dinner fills the air. It's so idyllic that we're not surprised if there's even a guitar somewhere. You can buy firewood at reception and rent a cauldron, just bring your favourite wooden spoon. Tip: You can buy all the essential ingredients at the local grocery store.

In autumn the beach is not empty, it's yours. That's the difference.

Here is why you will love autumn camping. The answer is in the colours, the lights, the mood. And you can choose where you sleep: in an apartment, a tent or a caravan. It doesn’t really matter, because the point is the same - you have space to relax, you have time to slow down.

Late summer and September on the shore, a balm for the soul

Sometimes summer is so good that we simply don’t want to acknowledge what the calendar says. That’s when the time for last minute adventures begins.

At Aranypart Camping & Apartments, the holiday mood is still in full swing. People relax on the beach, enjoy the water, white sails glide across the lake, there’s plenty of activity around our sports courts, lángos is being fried, burgers are being prepared, and in the evenings life is buzzing. If it weren’t for September just around the corner, you’d hardly notice the difference. Except now there are fewer tourists, schools are starting, and the children’s chatter fades away, giving space to those who long for a quieter kind of relaxation.

We’ve entered the low season: At Aranypart Camping & Apartments, even at the end of August you can enjoy much better rates for our comfortable, air-conditioned apartments, as well as for tent places or caravan pitches.

Even a short last minute getaway can help you ease into the change of seasons and shake off the post-holiday blues. In fact, if your summer didn’t turn out the way you hoped, if you didn’t get a chance to go on holiday at all, if your favourite apartment was already booked, or if you just happened to catch a rainy week, now you can still make your dreams come true in the autumn sunshine.

Finish the season in style: last minute holidays like a pro

Who says that when summer ends you have to retreat into grey everyday life too? Don’t let old habits dictate your plans! Summer may be over in September, but your holiday doesn’t have to be. Some people are already planning their low season last minute getaway, because at this time:

• prices are much lower
• the beach is quieter, but the experience is complete
• services, attractions and programmes are equally accessible
• there are no crowds, heat, queuing, and you can enjoy greater comfort

Here’s a tip: follow it, and you’ll never want to do it any other way. Take most of your autumn and winter holidays this September!

Why save your precious days off for dark, damp weather when you could be enjoying them in the sunshine by the water? The calm of early autumn weekdays is like having Lake Balaton all to yourself.

You didn't plan it, but you feel like taking a break?

Even an autumn last minute getaway with us feels like a full-fledged holiday, because at our campsite and holiday resort it’s as if summer never ends: kick back on a sun lounger and enjoy your relaxation exactly the way you like!

You don’t even have to cook at our campsite. Treat yourself to the offerings of Aranypart Camping & Apartments’ hospitality – everything from breakfast to dinner is available on-site. If you’re drawn to active relaxation, bring your ball and enjoy carefree games on the volleyball court, or try mini-golf, mega chess, and table tennis. You can also rent a bike and explore the beautiful cycling routes around Lake Balaton.

An off-season last minute holiday is the perfect way to recharge before the chilly months. All that’s left is to decide which type of accommodation will give you the atmosphere you’re looking for.

Perhaps an apartment on the beach?

Is a private kitchen, bathroom, air-conditioned comfort and breakfast on the terrace your style? Choose the right house for your last minute autumn getaway. All our accommodations are pet-friendly, so don’t leave your dogs or cats at home!
