Caravan Park Sexten

A quiet and beautiful place surrounded by beautiful nature. People are friendly and professional. A wonderful SPA center with a beautiful pool and wonderful mineral water from the Dolomites. Close to the ski resort and the beautiful national park. Definitely worth a visit.

It is with considerable regret that I cannot recommend this campsite. Its proprietors have no idea of service and the campsite itself is shabby, overgrown with ****s and dirty. Do not be lured by the glitzy, outsourced and carefully airbrushed website (PS my malware software detected dangerous links which I haven’t reproduced for obvious reasons) claiming to offer 5 star camping. We had booked a week in a premier pitch 5 months in advance for a really relaxing break. We were promised at least 150 square metres of lush lawn and all-weather surface and a view of the Dolomites. The reality is that this is a reasonably flat, lightly terraced and over-populated site that is badly in need of care and renovation next to a busy road which is popular with bikers at the weekend and trucks and buses during the week. When we arrived the road surface was being replaced with all the noise and smell that implies. We hadn’t been warned of this. There is no discernible difference between the premier and comfort sites apart from the price, but more of that later. My wife was astonished not even to be acknowledged by a receptionist who was looking at a computer when she went to book in. The proffered pitch was unsatisfactory; we were unable to access it with our large rig and it had a two storey wooden hut immediately behind it. The escorting man on the golf buggy seemed to find it a terrible chore to be helping paying guests. I reversed 100m to an offered replacement. We cleared the dog faeces off the pitch first. It was getting late, so it wasn’t until the following morning I realised that the pitch was in no sense of the word premier. It was 10 by 8 metres of gravel and long ****s. The view was of an overnight motorhome park and an overflowing dog waste bin. Not the Dolomites. After a complaint to reception, they couldn’t offer us any other premier pitches, but a quick stroll round the campsite revealed that the comfort (less expensive) pitches were one side of reception and had far better views than the more expensive premier ones on the other side. I still can’t work out what the difference is. We moved to a decently large pitch. It was however on a busy campsite route and while we had no company at first, it soon filled up with other people within 2 metres of our van. We also had to clear dog faeces from this pitch. The website makes much mention of the addons. There is a wellness garden which is simply a haphazard walk through various muddy and boggy puddles until you reach a special Knieppen area. This is actually a few dried up bits of fir branch to walk over. One good thing – it’s free. That’s unique here. It was originally an outside pool, but there is now no outdoor pool (in a campsite – seriously?) but there is, at a price, a bookable regimented indoor pool. There is a fee for everything: even emptying your own toilet cassette into a machine costs €2 a clean. The chemical toilet rooms stink like a pig farm, too. (Yes, I did try both toilet blocks).

So utterly wow that we will be returning next year and are currently awaiting a Chris**as cancellation. Staff are exceptional. My only gripe is that the pool was very crowded but this is totally understandable at peak summer. We booked a private bathroom but the facilities are so glorious you don’t even need one. Sparkling clean and well maintained. All the guests were delightful and honestly it was our best stay all summer. Special shout out to Jerry, you’re an utter legend and we can’t wait to see you again!!! I should probably add that we were able to beg for the last pizzas at almost 10pm following the journey from hell, they couldn’t have been any kinder. A massive thank you xx

Very nice place for relaxing with family and friends. Beautiful view and completed facilities. Wellness is my favorite. Outdoor jacuzzi most time place to spend with friends while enjoying a beautiful mountain view. Explore the beauty of nature by walking with several option spot.

Stayed here for 2 nights: 1 at the normal hotel room and 1 night at the treehouse. The normal hotel room was really bad - lighting was gloomy, no enjoyment was just a room for the night. But for the price paid, can’t quite complain. The treehouse was beautifully designed, loved it and the private sauna, would have rather stayed here for 2 nights. However Pity that it lacked the finer finesse / touch such as the soap (didn’t feel very premium, conditioner was really bad my hair was dry and frizzy the day after), sticker was torn etc, and cleanliness didn’t feel very clean. No bedroom slippers provided too. Would have been willing to pay few hundred bucks more if the room had these finer touches. Breakfast was overall good and good choices. The heated pool and sauna is designed well - very nice concept with great seating and even a small beach area for children. But imo, was spoilt by the crowd (too many people around, even in the sauna) and it did not feel very clean. Felt itchy after sitting on the deck chairs.

We have staid in the resort for 5 days end of May and it was great. We lived with our 3 children in lodge 5 which was amazing. Small for five but excellent. Especially the wellness area and the indoor pools were great. Our children loved it. The area in which the caravan park is situated is also incredible. 1550m above sea level in the middle of the national park, surrounded by a river and trees. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you to the team for the great stay. We will definitely come back.

One of the best camping pitches we have ever been. Very polite stuff, beautiful landscape, marvelous spa, good fibes all around – we will definitely return. With our e-mountainbikes we started all trails from our spot. If you need you can rent a car, but there is also a busstop just in front of the place.
