Camping Hopfräben

There was a pleasant lady at reception who took our money. You pay, thinking you’ll get a lovely tranquil camping spot near the lake, instead you are guided by a rude fellow (owner)whom you assume doesn’t speak English, rides his bike down a road to an unseen open area and points to a muddy spot to park, no choice. We accidentally set our chairs and table on the campsite next to ours (camper van door opening) as there was 1m strip of grass. The same fellow, now in English, told us off and picked up our items and moved to the other side of our camper in the drying mud. Sigh!! I regret we didn’t leave earlier and try for a refund.

The camping is in a great location and spots by the lake have a wonderful view with easy lake access. Nice spot for all level hikes. Unfortunately looses 2 stars due to owners rudeness - messed up our booking after confirming we could be close to friends we were travelling with and did not offer solution nor refund when we squeezed 2 vans in one spot (even though he sold the other spot). Hot showers 1 CHF for "4 mins" but in reality its 3 mins and even have to pay for hot water to do the dishes (this latter practice we have never seen anywhere and we have been touring for 4 yrs now). So buyer beware on what you need to deal with - unfortunate as it's a nice spot.

Great camping by the lake in a convenient location, campsite owner/manager couldn’t have been more helpful and squeezed us in at last minute, even tolerating my attempts at speaking German😎. Facilities are what’s to be expected of a campsite of this kind, bring some fr coins for the showers.

Friendly and very helpful owner, good pitch sites for tents and nice lake views. Unfortunately since the tent places were right next to a public beach, where local youngsters go to hang out in crowds, we didn't sleep much, as us being there on a weekend there was loud partying and yelling through the night, and had to look for another campsite after the 2nd night. As we're from outside of Switzerland it was also quite a shock to us that the campsites there don't have a kitchen.

Very nice spot alongside the lake - great swims! Campsite showers are modern and clean (coins needed for hot water). We didn't sit down at the campsite bar/café, but seemed really nice. The owner can seem a little harsh at first, but great human (ignore some of the comments)!

Nice spot, good views and location. Food was nice in the restaurant and (most) of the staff were friendly. The older guy who works there was a bit grumpy...I was having a sit down meal and beer, asked for a glass of tap water and he got very irate, telling me to go to the toilets...thankfully a lady who also worked there stepped in and got me one, but still. Otherwise a lovely stay, thanks.

Excelent vieuw from the camping, walk straight ibto the lake. we happen to have our tent in the open sun. There were still enough possibilities to place our seats and table into the shadow to sit confortably

Nice camping, close to the lake. Staff is friendly and the checkin/kiosk is open fairly late. There’s not too much space available, but wasn’t crowded when I was there. Spots close to the lake are nice but the downside is it’s a public picnic area so could be loud and unpleasant.
