5 Best Holiday Parks in Austria 2025
Austria is a gorgeous country with about two-thirds of it within the Alps mountain range. The bit outside of the Alps includes Vienna, which is one Europe's finest cities for pottering about and slurping coffee or pretending you are interested in opera.
Lots of people head for Austria for skiing, but it's also a good spot for walking in the summer. The advantage of mountain walking in Austria, is that you can use the ski lifts to get to the top rather than clambering up steep hills for ages before you get a good view. Adventurous sorts take mountain bikes on gondolas and then hurtle down the mountains whilst trying to avoid falling off.
If you haven't been to Austria before, take a look at the bottom of the page for our guides to getting there from the UK and a summary of the weather you are likely to encounter on holiday.
This guide to Austria's best holiday parks and caravan resorts is going to focus on summer holidays in Austria, but some of the holiday parks we've picked out are also good locations for skiing. We will look at holiday resorts with lodges and holiday homes, rather than camping and touring places.
These Austrian resorts all have good reviews, decent accommodation and some activities to keep your children occupied. We also took price and value for money into account, as well as location and travel time from the UK.

1. EuroParcs Hermagor-Nassfeld Holiday Park - Alpine views, swimming pools, great reviews, free mountain pass
You may not have heard of EuroParcs. Don't worry, I won't judge you. It certainly isn't as well known in the UK as Eurocamp, Center Parcs and Landal.
However, they are a big deal in Europe with about 50 resorts, including some outstanding holiday parks in Austria. We checked review scores across several sites and found that EuroParcs Hermagor-Nassfeld Holiday Park averages 89% or about 4.5/5. That's exceptionally good and is most certainly not to be sneezed at.
You'll find Hermagor-Nassfeld in the Alps in Southern Austria, close to the Italian border. From London, your best bet is to fly to Austria's Klagenfurt airport in about two hours and then drive for the last hour. You can also fly to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport in Slovenia and then drive for about 80 minutes. Driving from the UK would take you about 15 hours, plus however long it takes you to reach the Eurotunnel at Folkestone (plus 17 breaks for the children).
The location is in a valley with views of the Alps in every direction. There are lots of walks and mountain bike rides in the Nassfeld area in summer, or you can ski in winter. Bikes can be hired from the resort. In summer, guests get a free pass so you can use buses and ski lifts to get up the mountains.
The resort itself is mid-sized, with about 280 accommodation units, including a mix of holiday homes, apartments and camping/touring pitches. It has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, as well as a sauna, steam bath, gym and beauty treatments. The swimming pools are the simple-and-classy sort rather than the flumes-and-plastic-crocodiles sort that you get at some holiday parks.
There is also a 'swimming pond' if you want something a bit more rustic (Ed: I'll stick to the normal pools thanks). EuroParcs Hermagor-Nassfeld Holiday Park also has a soft play area and a restaurant onsite.
Price: £1800 for a week in a 'cottage' for a family of four in August 2025. There is also a large alpine lodge with apartments, but that's not got so much of a holiday park vibe. Camping and touring pitches are also available.

2. Eurocamp Sportcamp Woferlgut Holiday Park - outstanding swimming pool, Alpine views, lots of activities, expensive
**Winner: Best Value Holiday Park in Austria**
Eurocamp Sportcamp Woferlgut doesn't just make our list because the word 'Worfelgut' sounds like someone burping. No, it's also a well-equipped holiday park in a great location from a brand you've probably heard of. The range of activities is much bigger than that offered at EuroParcs Hermagor-Nassfeld Holiday Park.
It's in the alps, roughly between Salzburg and Innsbuck and currently scores 85% from customers. We figured this out by adding together review scores from various sites, including TripAdvisor, which gives Eurocamp Sportcamp Woferlgut a score of 4/5.
The highlight of the resort is large and modern swimming pool, that includes indoor and outdoor pools, as well as a decent flume/waterslide and gym.
The slight downside is that you have to pay to use the pool. For a family of four adults and two children visiting for a week, it works out as about £50 if you just visit once or about £125 for a week's family pass. You pay a little extra for using the 'wellness' stuff but that should give you a rough idea at least. Alternatively, there's a lake where you can swim for free.
There are plenty of other activities at the resort, which is mid-sized with space for about 350 lodges and other accommodation units. There are two playgrounds, minigolf, pony rides, bike hire, trampolines, tennis, volleyball and a sports court for football. You can also hire kayaks.
Your best option for getting to Eurocamp Sportcamp Woferlgut is to fly to Salzburg Airport in about 2 hour 15 minutes from the UK and then drive for 1 hour 15 minutes. Driving from Calais would take about 12 hours (you can reach Calais easily from the UK with your car in about 40 minutes on the Eurotunnel/Le Shuttle).
Price: £1623 for a Comfort XL holiday home for a week in August 2025. That makes it a mid-priced option. It sleeps up to six people, but was the cheapest option available for a family of four.
'Comfort' is Eurocamp's second cheapest grade. The range includes Classic (£), Comfort (££), Premium (£££) and Ultimate (££££) but you won't find every grade at every Eurocamp holiday park. The XL bit in the name means that it is slightly larger than a standard size Comfort holiday home (Ed: I think we would have figured that out ourselves). See our full guide to Eurocamp's different grades of holiday home.

3. EuroParcs Pressegger See Holiday Park - mountain views, free travel pass, outdoor pool, outstanding reviews
Our next pick is another outstanding holiday park from Europarcs. This one is called EuroParcs Pressegger See and it's in a similarly stunning Alpine location as EuroParcs Hermagor-Nassfeld, which we mentioned earlier. In fact, they are only five minutes drive apart.
In many ways, Pressegger-See is a better choice than EuroParcs Hermagor-Nassfeld. Reviews are even better at 91% overall, including 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor. You've got the Alps in the background but the resort is also surrounded by woodland.
The main thing it's lacking is an indoor swimming pool, but you can use the facilities at EuroParcs Hermagor-Nassfeld if don't mind the five minute drive.
On the plus side, there is an outdoor pool so you can splash around on sunny days and say things like "ahhhhhh, this is the life". There's also a playground. You get the same travel card that is offered with holidays at Hermagor-Nassfeld, which means that you can use the buses and ski lifts for free in the summer months. If you're visiting for a ski holiday you'll need to pay.
There are about 140 accommodation units, which makes EuroParcs Pressegger See about half the size of EuroParcs Hermagor-Nassfeld.
Getting to EuroParcs Pressegger See is similar to EuroParcs Hermagor-Nassfeld (you will have gathered this by the fact that they are five minutes apart). You'll want to fly to either Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport in Slovenia or Klagenfurt airport in Austria and then drive for about 60-90 minutes.
Price: £2105 for a week's holiday for a family of four in August 2025. The accommodation is modern-style lodges that sleep 4-6 people. The more expensive ones have better views.

4. Landal Alpen Residences Clofers Rattendorf - small resort, great reviews, mountain views
Landal - or Landal Greenparks - is another big name in European holiday parks (including some in the UK). There are more than 100 across Europe, including several top quality ones in Austria.
Most of Landal's resorts in Austria offer accommodation in apartments within big ski lodges. If that's what you are after, take a look at Landal Alpine Resort Maria Alm, which scores a remarkable 95% from reviewers.
However, there are a couple of decent Landal resorts in Austria which are more like holiday parks, where you occupy part of a smaller alpine lodge.
Our first pick is Landal Alpen Residences Clofers Rattendorf. It translates as 'Rat's Village' but don't let that put you off... As the name suggets, it is another one in the Alps and is a popular one for skiing in winter or walking in summer.
The resort is small but it has an onsite restaurant and a playground. As with some of the other resorts in this guide, you get a pass included that gives you access to buses and ski lifts. Some people travel to the Lido Hermagor - Pressegger See, which is a lake where you can swim. It's 20 minutes away by car.
Reviewers award it an average score of 90%.
Price: £1527 for a week's family holiday in a four person holiday home in August 2025. This particular one is a big detached property with four apartments, so it's slightly different from a standard holiday park setup.

5. Eurocamp Camping Bella Austria Holiday Park - outdoor swimming pool, quite good reviews, cheap accommodation
**Winner: Cheapest holiday park in our Austrian top 5**
Our final choice in our guide to the best holiday parks in Austria is a little behind the others on reviews - but it's good value and has some other good points about it.
Ignore the word 'camping' in the title. This is often used in Europe to refer to holiday parks, but there are plenty of holiday homes as well as pitches for tents.
Camping Bella Austria scores an average of 77% from reviewers, which is a respectable score. TripAdvisor reviewers give it 3.5/5, whilst it scores a more impressive 4.2/5 on Google Reviews. It is run by Eurocamp, which has more than 200 holiday parks in Europe.
The resort is in Central Austria, a little further north than most of the contenders in our top 5. Vienna is about three hours drive to the East and Salzburg is two hours to the north.
The setting is excellent, with views of the Alps from the resort. You also get access to an indoor swimming, a sauna and a playground. There isn't an indoor swimming pool at Camping Bella.
You can get to Camping Bella Austria Holiday Park by flying to Klagenfurt airport from London and driving for an hour. Alternatively, fly to the bigger airport in Salzburg and drive for 2 hours 15 minutes.
Price: £748 for a week in a holiday home for a family of four in August 2024. That makes it the clear winner on price. For that price we found a two bedroom mobile home.

Price comparison of our five favourite holiday parks in Austria
Right then, here's how these Austrian holiday parks compare on price. We didn't attempt to include travel costs, so these are just the prices for the accommodation during August in 2025. Of course, you'll be able to get better prices if you can avoid school holidays. We looked for the cheapest option available for a family of four for a week's holiday.
What's the easiest way to get to to Austria from the UK?
You don't have to get on a plane to visit Austria from the UK - but it's probably the sensible option. The biggest airport is Vienna in Eastern Austria, which takes about 2 hours 15 minutes from London or 10 minutes longer from Manchester. The other big airport is Salzburg, which is more towards the middle of Austria. Flight times are pretty similar to Salzburg.
What about driving to Austria from the UK?
Well, it's achievable if you fancy a road trip with a stop or two but it requires a lot of driving and a very good battery on your children's iPads. I would drive to Folkestone in Kent and get the 40 minute Eurotunnel/Le Shuttle to Calais. You then need to drive for about 11 hours to Salzburg or Innsbruck or 14 hours to Vienna. You could stop roughly halfway in Frankfurt, Strasbourg or Zurich depending on where you were heading.
It's a big journey once you add on the UK section of the drive from the midlands, northern England or Scotland. For example, your total driving time to EuroParcs Hermagor-Nassfeld Holiday Park would be about 18 hours from Birmingham or nearly 20 hours from Manchester. From Glasgow it is more like (deep breath) 23 hours.

What's the weather like in Austria? What's the best time of year to visit?
Summer in Austria is fairly similar to summer in the UK. The average temperature in Vienna and Innsbruck in July and August is 19 degrees Celsius, which is the same as London. May, June and September are also fairly similar to the UK with averages in Austria of about 14-17 Celsius.
In March, April, October and November, Austria is 3-4 degrees colder than the UK.
As you will probably have guessed, it is the winter temperatures that are notably different from the UK. The average in Vienna and Innsbruck in the winter months is often around zero Celsius, whilst London is more like 5-7 Celsius (yes, I know London feels freezing in winter, but the data says it's not).
Innsbruck gets quite a lot more rain than London in summer, whilst Vienna is somewhere between Innsbruck and London on the rainfall data.
