Good spot for water sports enthusiasts - rather unsuitable for caravans

The campground is tidy and can be accessed independently via a barrier, even when the reception is no longer staffed. When we were there, the site was very, very full, and we struggled to find another spot with our small caravan. Definitely designed for motorhomes or even better campers. The sanitation building was modern and clean. Direct access to the lake. I'm not sure if you can get out again when the site is full without reception. Better to scout around in advance and then drive in. The staff were very friendly. We would use it again as a transit spot.

There is no reservation, meaning you can simply arrive, choose your spot, and spontaneously decide how long you want to stay. There are beautiful barbecue stations and clean, heated, and well-maintained sanitary facilities. The site offers something for everyone, whether you simply want to relax or engage in various water sports, and it's a good starting point for mountain biking and hiking tours. The location right by the lake with views of a wonderful mountain landscape is just fantastic. Super price-performance ratio.

We were passing through with the motorhome. Very nice spot right by the lake, without designated pitches. I personally find this a bit inconvenient, as everyone is parked in a crisscross manner with motorhomes, trailers, or tents. This wastes a lot of space, which is why you should bring a longer cable to get to the next power box. Very clean sanitary facilities. Nice little shop, very friendly staff at the reception. Mainly visited by surfers.

We were in Silvaplana for the first time and we will definitely come back. Great place, beautifully located, nice staff, small shop, beach bar, and the best sanitary facilities we have encountered on our journey, with a separate area for children. You can hike here, ride even with regular e-bikes, or surf. The place is a surfer hotspot, there are no permanent spots and if you arrive on Sunday, the site is usually still quite full until 5:00 PM. Afterwards, it gets emptier.

Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping Silvaplana
What is the situation with the pitches and can I reserve in advance?
At Camping Silvaplana, there are no fixed pitches and no reservations. You simply arrive, choose a free pitch on the partly gently sloping meadow or in the forest, and decide spontaneously how long you want to stay. Since everyone stands freely, you should bring a longer power cable.
Why is the campsite so popular with water sports enthusiasts?
The campsite is located directly on Lake Silvaplana at an impressive 1,815 metres above sea level and is an absolute hotspot for windsurfers and kitesurfers. You have direct access to the lake with a 300-metre-long natural beach. But pack a thick wetsuit, as the water only reaches a maximum of 16 degrees!
What special features of the terrain should I know before arriving?
The terrain is divided by a stream and is picturesquely situated between the lake and the road. There are bumpy meadows and shady pitches in the forest. A public hiking trail runs directly across the campsite. On Sundays, it is often very busy until 5 pm, after which many depart and it becomes much more relaxed.
What costs can I expect and are there any discounts?
Is the campsite suitable for cars with caravans and how does arrival work?
What is the situation with catering and shopping options?
How child-friendly are the sanitary facilities on the campsite?
