What campers are saying
Summarized by AI
The campsite scores with its fantastic location right on the beautiful sandy beach of Lake Murten. Campers particularly appreciate the very friendly, helpful staff and the generously sized pitches. Good to know for the trip: Anyone heading here should be prepared for somewhat older sanitary facilities.

A beautiful, quiet, and very clean campsite located directly by Lake Murten. The area is ideal for extensive bike tours throughout the Seeland. Historic towns, idyllic forests, and gentle hills complete this wonderful vacation region.

Mediocre Campsite with Potential

The good thing was that we were allowed to arrive earlier (at 10:00 AM); the downside was that we couldn't extend until 6:00 PM, for instance, even though many spots were still available; the average sanitary building needs to be rebuilt - the renovation was unfortunately far from sufficient. At Lake Murten, it would be nice to have a raft for swimming and more showers by the lake.

We spent an extended weekend at the TCS camping site. The staff was very friendly and the facility was clean. My dog and I felt very comfortable. The sanitary facilities were clean, although they were a bit outdated, but that's not a problem. We definitely recommend this place and will come back.

What a disappointment: 1st and last time

It was the first time at this campsite and I certainly had the worst possible spot next to the sanitation facilities. A campsite advertised as quiet at night but not at all. People do not respect the hours and do the dishes or shower loudly from 6 AM to 11:30 PM. Not to mention some inappropriate behaviors. No control from the staff regarding site occupancy even when tents are set up on access paths (even after reporting, there was no reaction). And let's not talk about the little shop, which is ridiculous with staff that are not always friendly. No parking available close to the entrance, so when several people arrive at the same time (check-in), it’s chaos. In short, a great disappointment. The only positive point is the nearby beach.

Very nice beach nearby with plenty of shade. For our children, a great campsite with entertainment, water play, and playground. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Sanitary facilities are not the best, but the operators seem to take good care of the facilities from our perspective.

More info about TCS Camping Salavaux Plage
Situated directly on the longest sandy beach in Switzerland, TCS Camping Salavaux Plage is a paradise for families and water sports enthusiasts.
Family-friendly campsite on Lake Murten with water playground
Only a small wood separates TCS Camping Salavaux Plage from the fine sandy beach of Lake Murten. Most of the pitches and rental accommodation are located under trees on mostly flat meadows. Children will enjoy the numerous play facilities. Among other things, there is a water playground where high fountains shoot into the air. Those who want to perfect their cycling skills have the opportunity to do so on the pump track. Amenities at the campsite include a small shop and a bread roll service. In the evenings, the lounge is a popular place to socialise with new friends.
Activities around the campsite
Active holidaymakers are welcome to make use of the bike hire service at the campsite: mountain bikes, bikes or e-bikes can be used to explore the fascinating holiday region of Vaud. Whether it's around Lake Murten or into the mountains, the routes are well signposted. The town of Murten offers an exciting insight into its history: the medieval centre, the ring wall and the castle are well worth a visit. Water sports enthusiasts also get their money's worth on Lake Murten: they can let off steam with SUP, kayaking or canoeing. There is a hire station on site. Windsurfing and fishing are also popular leisure activities around the campsite.
Frequently asked questions about the campsite TCS Camping Salavaux Plage
What is the beach like at TCS Camping Salavaux Plage?
The campsite is located directly on a beautiful, approximately 200-metre-long sandy beach on Lake Murten. Although the beach is only about 3 to 5 metres wide, the water is extremely shallow. This means you can walk very far out into the lake – perfect for families with young children and anyone who loves paddleboarding.
How are the pitches on the campsite designed?
You can expect a flat, sandy meadow with some tall, sparse trees that provide pleasant shade. The 130 parcelled pitches for holidaymakers range in size from 60 to 100 square metres. Since the site is also popular with many permanent campers, there is a cosy, family-friendly atmosphere here.
What should I know about the sanitary facilities and quiet hours?
Although the sanitary facilities are a bit dated, they are always kept clean by the team. There are 8 showers, 12 toilets, and a wheelchair-accessible cabin. Good to know: During the high season, it can get a bit livelier on-site in the evenings, as the official quiet hours only start at midnight.
What prices and extra costs should I expect, and are there any discounts?
