A trip to Siófok, known as the capital of the southern shore, provides exciting attractions and programs, including the option to camp - but not in the traditional sense. Nowadays, those looking for a nature-centric rest have a range of modern amenities to choose from.

Over the past decade, Siófok has undergone a transformation and has once again become a focal point of attention. Its most famous attraction remains the Golden Beach, the city and Lake Balaton's largest free beach stretching over more than 4 kilometers from the city center. The shoreline is a landscaped green space with grass, trees, and free-to-use restrooms. Even if the weather isn't suitable for swimming, a walk along the shore or just dipping your toes in the water of Lake Balaton can be incredibly refreshing. The beach features pedalo rentals, water playgrounds, and buffets serving typical Balaton fare.

Water sports enthusiasts will find their needs met on Bamboo Island, where equipment rental and professional instructors are available for activities such as wakeboarding, landlock, water skiing, and surfing.

Ultimate Comfort by Lake Balaton

Aranypart Camping & Apartments, situated right next to the beach, offers a myriad of accommodation choices set in beautiful surroundings, including fully equipped, comfortable, heated terraced apartments and mobile homes for those looking for modern comforts beyond traditional camping.

The campsite, open in pre-season, high season, and post-season, also offers wellness services such as massages and a heated experience pool. There's a playground for children and the holiday village is dog-friendly, providing a perfect setting for the entire family.

Aranypart Camping & Apartments encompasses more than just accommodation; it is a recreational community space ideal for active rest. Facilities for football, mini-golf, table tennis, a volleyball court, and a playground are available, making it a perfect destination for family relaxation. Free Wifi access across the entire campsite area ensures that even leisurely days are comfortably spent. The campsite also provides an ideal venue for overnight class trips, team-building exercises, and corporate events during the pre-season.

Renovations in the Siófok Holiday Village

This season, the Carmen and Carmen Plus apartments, as well as the Rosa houses, are undergoing refurbishments to both their interior and exterior, ensuring a comfortable and fresh environment for guests. Continued upgrades, including the construction of new caravan plots set for the 2024 season, are also a part of the ongoing improvements.

Activities Beyond the Beach

The pre-season at Lake Balaton offers perfect weather for cycling tours around the lake or enjoying a walk in one of its busiest ports. Visitors can rent bicycles from Aranypart Camping & Apartments to explore nearby attractions. Don't miss the opportunity to admire the rose garden in the port area or visit BELLA Animal Park, a family-friendly mini zoo located just 5 km from the center of Siófok.

For those interested in cultural experiences, the over 100-year-old Siófok Water Tower offers breathtaking views of Lake Balaton, while the Siófok Mineral Museum, hosting Hungary's largest and most beautiful private mineral collection, is a must-visit for enthusiasts.

Another unique destination is the Upside Down House in Siófok, presenting an unusual attraction where everything appears as if it were hanging from the ceiling.

A Short Drive to Zamárdi

Just a short drive from Siófok, Zamárdi offers additional attractions such as the Szamárkő, a rock linked to several legends, including one involving the Holy Family. For adrenaline seekers, the Forgó Zamárdiring Gokart Track in the Balaton region promises an exciting experience with its well-designed track and karts suitable for both children and adults.
