A campsite that offers everything you need to relax. Quiet spots right by the lake, various spots on plateaus, cabins, and opportunities for camping. A friendly owner who shows you everything and explains in German if necessary.

By far the most beautiful campsite we stayed at in the Baltics. All pitches are generously equipped with their own wooden terrace and an unobstructed view of the lake. We particularly liked the lovingly designed layout of the site with many flowers. The sanitary facilities are in good condition and very clean.

What a place! We were here for two nights and had incredible bad luck with the weather. And yet everything was perfect here. Friendly reception, beautiful location, clean toilets and showers, right by the Gauja, with boat rental and beautiful nature. Super washing facilities. We would have liked to stay longer in good weather.

Very nice place directly by the lake without parcels. There are also paved spots with wooden terraces for campers. There is everything your heart desires - even boat rentals and go-karts. (Strangely, we didn't pay anything extra for that), barbecue areas including firewood. The owners also offer canoe tours on the Gauja.
