Balkan road trip with a camper

This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Camp Austria at Mondsee. The first impression was sobering. The place was overcrowded and the pitches were too small. We were moved to the originally booked pitches, where it was much nicer, although also quite cramped. There was a pontoon to get into the water and the kids jumped from there

Highlights: The kids loved jumping into the water from the pontoon and swimming in the lake. The weather was mostly good, and the surroundings are beautiful. There was a nice restaurant with a terrace ✨
