Pet-friendly adventures at Lake Balaton in autumn

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.

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.
