About us
Camping Anderwald
Camping vacations have to do with people's desire for closeness to nature, freedom, adventure and romance. This is exactly what we value - and with our campsite in the riverside forest we make camping possible in its most original form.
Some call it retro camping.
Camping & Dining
Late Summer Special 2026
In our popular riverside forest:

About us
Our campsite is located in a naturally grown forest - directly on the beautiful Faaker See.
For us, camping means as much freedom as possible and being close to nature.
And here's what we offer at our campground.
We're very laid-back and relaxed, love a long camping season (April 1 through November 3), and are experts in campers and tents.
What We Love
Mountains: Climbing, Mountain Biking, Hiking
Our campground is a great starting point for rock climbing, mountain biking (lake.bike basecamp), hiking, via ferrata, and other adventures right from your tent.
restaurant
At our restaurant, our experienced kitchen team creates a colorful selection of international, Asian, and Carinthian specialties, all freshly prepared using local ingredients. The experience is rounded out with our own products—such as schnapps, apple juice, cider, and jam.
Faaker See
Lake Faaker See is the star of the show—perfect for swimming and all kinds of gentle water sports. Turquoise, warm, manageable in size, and extremely clean—and great for swimming from May through mid-October. And you can enjoy the lake right from your tent via our long, gently sloping beach.
Mountain school
We love everything there is to do in the mountains, and with the “highlife” Alpine School, we have a mountain school right here on site.
Riparian Forest, Lake & Mountain.

What else?
Trees and Shade
We have 500 large, century-old trees here. In addition to these venerable native trees, there are also plenty of animals. The trees provide us with shade and create cool nooks and spots for you campers.
Services & Infrastructure
We're a campground with retro charm, without designated sites that have rigid boundaries. Plus, you'll have all the amenities you need: electricity everywhere, two restroom buildings, free Wi-Fi, a lounge, and more...
Sustainability...
Sustainability is an absolute necessity. And we're taking care of it.
You can read all about our solar power system, sponge camping, and a little piece of primeval forest on Lake Faaker See here.
Camping Anderwald Aktiv Sports Club
We're probably the only campground with its own sports club. The famous triathlete Dr. Hermann Aschwer (Mr. Ironman ;)) is the driving force behind and president of the club and our sports program—which is tailored to all skill levels.
Adventure Map
Every guest receives the truly fantastic, free experience card. With it, you can take part in exciting guided tours, enjoy free admission to the Kärntentherme starting at 5:00 p.m., marvel at the wonderful citrus garden, and use the buses to Villach and the S-Bahn throughout Carinthia for free.
Camping from April through November
We're open for a very long time—from April through the first week of November. That's 8 months. And every month in the lakeside forest at Lake Faaker See has its own beauty and unique features.

Dog in the riverside forest
Dogs are welcome here (even in the restaurant)—we have one ourselves: our Balu. Starting from the campground, there are wonderful walking and biking trails, perfect for you and your dog. Only the water lovers among your four-legged friends will have to go a little farther to take a dip. Unfortunately, dogs aren’t allowed on the beach here—not even our Balu. However, there are a few places nearby where you can get to the water, so even dogs who love to swim can enjoy their vacation.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.
