Europe's largest camping magazine, Caravaning, chose Várkert Termál Camping in Pápa as the third best campsite on the continent.
The Pápai facility is preceded only by a Greek and a Portuguese campsite, which means that Pápai is the best of the Hungarian sites this year as well, Veol wrote in its article .
Várkert Termál Camping is Hungary's first and only five-star campsite, which previously received an excellent rating from several international camping organizations. The latest accolade was shared by Gerhard Hofmann, the owner of the campsite, on social media.
We are constantly following international trends, what we need to change and develop, what is the plus with which we can stay at the forefront of Europe. Every year, the inspectors appear unannounced and at the most unexpected times, which also means that we have to achieve the level required by these five stars 365 days a year, which is not only difficult to obtain, but also difficult to maintain.
- executive director Noémi Dekovics-Ódor told the newspaper, who added that the Caravaning magazine compiled the order based on the ratings of the camping industry and the evaluations of the guests.
In 2023, the campsite will have its best season in the 19 years since its opening, after 9,208 guest nights were registered in August, which means that not only the number of guests increased, but also the time spent here.
This season, tourists came to them from Austria, Germany, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, but there were a lot of Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish guests, and they could even welcome those who wanted to relax from overseas.
Noémi Dekovics-Ódor added that this year, in all probability, we will succeed in breaking the record before COVID, when 37,480 guest nights were registered on an annual basis, since based on the figures of October 1, they already exceeded 36,000.
