Official Campsites and Chalets

There are two symbols on Hungarian walking maps denoting a campsite but their exact meaning is not always clear. As a rough guide the wigwam symbol (sátorozóhely) on Hungarian walking maps is a designated site that has few or no facilities and, depending on the circumstances, means that you can pitch a tent and perhaps light a fire free of charge. Unfortunately there are few such sites and the ones that are free have become overgrown. The other symbol, a triangle in a semicircle (kemping), is a pay-site with full facilities and often has little wooden chalets for hire. Tourinform publish a free brochure listing pay-sites, although it is not comprehensive as many householders offer camping spaces in their back garden. The phrase to ask whether there is a place to put your tent is Van sátorhely? The most campsite intensive (and expensive) region is along the shores of Lake Balaton. Pay-sites usually have good facilities including showers, kitchens and laundry points, but for a little extra you could find a decent room. The campsite season in Hungary is short and geared to school holidays.
