Summer has arrived on the shores of Lake Balaton, it’s time to pack up the camping gear and embrace the waterfront lifestyle! Let the magical mornings begin – when you step barefoot out of your tent, still rubbing the sleep from your eyes, and the sound of the waves is already in your ears. You breathe in the fresh air deeply and feel the gentle caress of the sun on your face.

If you’re craving a sense of freedom on the waterfront, Mirabella Camping is the place to be. Come down to Lake Balaton, unwind on the shores of Zamárdi! We’ve also got some tips to make the experience really well-rounded!

And if you’re a fan of classic camping, you’ll find a place on the shores of Lake Balaton that will be an island of tranquillity for you.
Set up your tent or park your caravan and make yourself at home. A self-inflating mattress is a great companion for a comfortable night’s sleep. You wouldn’t believe how comfortable it can make a camping holiday. With today’s modern equipment, camping is far from the rough-and-ready experience we knew as kids. You are surrounded by nostalgia and nature, but now you also have the comfort.

A comfy camping chair you can sink into is a must for your pitch. Just pop it open, kick back after setting up camp, and enjoy the scenery. Feel free to add a few camping extras! A hammock, LED light bulbs or lanterns and you’re ready for glamping. Take a photo for Instagram, you won’t need a filter, you’ll fall in love with the waterfront reality.
If you want a truly exclusive camping experience, choose one of our beach pitches. The 130 square metres of extra spacious accommodation is located directly on the waterfront, with uninterrupted views of Lake Balaton. Here, you’re really only a few steps away from the waves lapping at your feet as you step out of your tent in the morning.
Got your beach stuff all packed? Let’s head to the beach!
Mirabella Camping has its own beach, perfect for relaxing, water sports or even a friendly barefoot volleyball game. If you’re arriving with your dog – and why wouldn’t you, since Mirabella Camping is a pet-friendly accommodation – you can splash around together in a safe, fenced area. Your accommodation in Zamárdi offers the only dog-friendly beach in town.

The beach season kicks off in June! The smell of sunscreen, the waterfront atmosphere, immediately captivates the senses. The beauty of the panoramic view of the Tihany peninsula opposite would be the envy of any Mediterranean spa. The swim rings pop out, straw hats bob in the sun, ice cream slowly melts away, and the air is alive with joyful laughter and the sound of splashing everywhere. But if you’re the type who likes to stand for hours on the first step, ankles in the water, before finally declaring, “Oh, this is too cold for me!” — you’re not alone. No need to worry, you can also choose the private heated adventure pool at Mirabella Camping.
Waterfront lifestyle – how to do it!
We give you some tips to make your days on the waterfront a breeze, from meals to leisure activities to beach experiences. Everyone has their own must-have list of essentials for a day of relaxing by Lake Balaton. Find your own preferences, but don’t be afraid to try new things. Pack smart, but don’t carry too much. Throw down your beach towel in a shady spot and dive headfirst into summer.
Let beach food tempt you!
It’s practical to bring along some classic gear for snacking by the shore. A cooler bag, lunch boxes, and a stylish picnic basket can come in really handy. If you enjoy packing for beach snacks as much as the eating and drinking itself, all you need to do is pop into the local convenience store, where you can find all the essentials. There’s a nostalgic pleasure in arriving at the beach with perfectly sliced melon, tinfoil-wrapped boiled corn, sandwiches and snacks, but that’s okay if you’re not the packing-ready type.

Waterfront gastronomy classics are hard to resist. Mirabella Camping has great catering facilities, including a restaurant, buffets and a bar. Treat yourself to a craft burger, a freshly baked pizza, a light salad for lunch or a hearty Hungarian meal. Sip your favourite cocktail on the beach, or refresh yourself with a cold spritz.
If you feel like cooking, outdoor fire pits, traditional cauldron cooking, and a communal kitchen are all at your disposal. You can rent a cauldron from the campsite reception and buy firewood, don’t carry it from home! And the mobile homes are equipped with microwave, hob, crockery and cutlery.
Enjoy the active side of the waterfront! Surfing, SUP, sports fields
The water refreshes, movement energises – all you have to do is enjoy the momentum! Hop on a board, try SUP or grab a surf suit and start conquering the waves! At Mirabella Camping you can also rent equipment for your water adventures and, thanks to Windsurfcenter, you can take surfing lessons on site and even get an international surfing certificate. Even as a complete beginner, you can get started with enthusiastic instructors to help you.
Active recreation lovers will feel at home on Mirabella Camping’s private beach, where we offer water sports and other active recreational activities on site. Bring your ball, because there are also sports fields along the coast, a beach ball, a sand court and a volleyball court. There is also ping-pong and a great playground for the little ones.
Unicorns, splashing around and pebbles – this is how kids spend their holiday at Mirabella Camping
At Mirabella Camping, summer becomes a storybook, where flamingos, unicorns and dinosaurs float on the water, children swim, build sandcastles, search for shells and brew hundreds of imaginary coffees for us. The campsite is an easy place to make new friends and the casual play helps to develop creativity. In the secure enclosed area of the accommodation, you can let the kids run free and while they’re running around, you can sit back and soak in the moment. And from the high summer season, there is all-day animation for the little ones.

Is this your first holiday with the little one? Go for it! No need to pack half the house – we provide a free baby-kit, including a high chair, baby bath, and crib.
Settle into a cosy mobile home where you can relax with comforts just like at home. And if you want your child to develop a close bond with nature as soon as possible, take them on hikes around the area, play outside a lot, and choose tent or caravan adventures.
Unleash your inner adventurer!
Got that beach character who arrives at the beach late in the afternoon with a towel just for a quick splash? What has he been doing all day, what could he have been doing that would make it worth moving away from this beautiful stretch of coast?
We tell you the secret, just one word: Zamárdi.
The area is full of exciting places to explore, with a wide range of adventures to choose from, and you’ll find something to suit you. Near Mirabella Camping you will find a number of adventure spots that can be reached by a short bike ride, on foot, by ferry or a few minutes’ drive.
Choose a child-friendly, dog-friendly destination to suit the needs of your group, whether the focus is nature, art or even history. Here are our favourite spots:
- Kőröshegyi Tulip and Lavender Park: This year, the season starts surprisingly early — you can already pick French lavender at Pentecost. The Pentecost Lavender Harvest takes place from 7th to 9th June 2025, offering stunning views of Lake Balaton, lavender treats, and artisanal experiences waiting for you!
- Grab a basket, take a walk along the purple hillside and take some beautiful photos. The most beautiful opening of summer is a morning of fragrance and tranquillity.
- Szántódpuszta Majorság: Mini time travel, great for children. Ponies, old buildings, a shady playground, and a little bit of history. Take a peek into the blacksmith’s workshop, discover the life of the farmhouse, temporary exhibitions and a gastro market at weekends.
- Zamárdi Adventure Park: Ropes courses, slides, climbing walls, forest challenges for all ages. In a shady grove, close to nature, this exciting location awaits you. Open every day from June, just steps from Zamárdi-Felső train station.
- The ferry gently rocks – adventures await.. Take the scheduled ferry to Szántód, and in a few minutes you’ll be walking through the streets of Tihany. Abbey, lavender scent, Inner Lake, former monk houses carved into the rock.
- You can rent bicycles at the reception if you want to go for a ride around Lake Balaton. Explore the wild bike trails, the BalatonBike365 app will guide you.
Siesta, silence, floating – time to recharge!
A summer siesta, quiet people-watching, or a short nap by the shore of Lake Balaton are just as precious as a day full of activity. Find your favourite spot in the campsite – whether it’s a comfy sun lounger by the pool, a blanket on the shore, your mobile home’s terrace, or a gently swaying hammock on your pitch.
Tip: Bring your favourite book – here you’ll finally have time to read it, but it’s perfectly fine if you close your eyes after just a few pages and simply surrender to relaxation. On our private beach section, there’s no crowding; you can enjoy the comfort, the stunning panorama, and the sight of white sails drifting in the distance all the way until sunset.
When the sun goes down – evening programmes
After a full day on the beach, surfing, and adventures, you’re sure to work up an appetite. End the day with a classic camping activity! Gathering around the fire brings everyone together – you can enjoy a cozy bacon roast or simmer a hearty cauldron goulash. While the adults chat around the fire and occasionally stir the delicious dinner, the kids can run freely in the evening. Hand them a flashlight, and let the exciting adventures begin.
As the quiet night slowly creeps in, don’t go to bed just yet! Lay out a blanket and lie down on the beach! An intimate stargazing chat, accompanied by a glass of Balaton wine, will crown the day!
Avoid this mistake for the perfect holiday!
There’s a wise rule: if something can be done in a few minutes, do it right away. This is also true for organising waterfront holidays!
Don’t procrastinate!

Just click, book, come and visit – we’ll be waiting for you, with a waterfront, sunsets and the freedom to truly unwind.
