The entrance and exit of the camping is a narrow steep and paved road. Motorhomes of all sizes can drive the camping up and down without any problem.
Guests with a caravan can bring the caravan to their pitch themselves. And if needed, on the day of depature, we can tow up your caravan with our jeep (4×4)

In the high season this also counts for guests with a tent.
