Camping in Carinthia: lakes, mountains and nature in southern Austria

Carinthia, in southern Austria near the Italian border, promotes camping as a nature-oriented holiday. The region has over 100 campsites and about 16,000 pitches for tents, motorhomes and caravans, plus glamping, cabins and apartments. Among more than 1,000 lakes, many are swimmable, with summer water temperatures exceeding 25 °C. Cycling routes, water sports and family activities are available. From Italy, Carinthia is reachable by car (about 2.5 hours from Venice), train or plane (from June 2026, flights from Rome to Klagenfurt).

Camping in Wechselland: tractor with caravan and Haflinger spotted at site

Irene Feldhofer, operator of 'Wechselland Camping Lorenza' in St. Lorenzen am Wechsel, regularly posts photos of unusual guests. Among them are a tractor towing a caravan, a Haflinger horse as a 'companion vehicle', and a Pinzgauer. The Joham family from Obdach travels with a car, trailer, roof tent, and ground tent; three people sleep in a 1.5-metre-wide roof tent. The campsite itself was built on the site of a former cattle shed, and its owners were nominated for the 'Vifzack 25' agricultural innovation award in 2025.
