Looking for a peaceful Austrian family campsite beside a river, with mountains all around and plenty of outdoor activities? Drau Camping Sachsenburg is a small, friendly campsite on the banks of the Drau in the historic village of Sachsenburg. The setting is wonderfully green, with the river, cycle routes and wooded hills immediately outside the entrance.
What makes this campsite particularly appealing? Although there is no swimming pool directly on the grounds, camping guests have free access to the solar-heated Sachsenburg adventure swimming pool, around 700 metres away. The pool complex includes a swimming pool with underwater massage, an adventure pool with waves and a wide slide, plus a toddler pool with its own slide.
Onsite, families have a playground, tennis court, ball court, indoor table tennis, table football, a lounge and a lockable bicycle store. There is also a private boat landing area, making the location particularly attractive to active families and watersports enthusiasts. The Drau Cycle Path runs directly alongside the campsite.
Who is it best for? We recommend Drau Camping Sachsenburg especially for families with younger children, cyclists, walkers and nature-loving families who prefer a relaxed base rather than a large entertainment resort. The village centre is only a few minutes away, with shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Tip from our team
My biggest tip for Drau Camping Sachsenburg is to make the most of its location rather than spending every day at the campsite. The Drau runs directly alongside the grounds, and the famous Drau Cycle Path is immediately accessible, so even a short family cycle ride can become part of your holiday. The campsite also offers guided walking and cycling activities at selected times, which are a useful way to discover the region without planning every route yourself. For families with children, I would definitely allow time for the Sachsenburg adventure swimming pool. It is within easy walking distance and camping guests can use it free of charge. The wave area, wide slide and separate toddler pool make it much more exciting for children than a basic municipal pool. The pool is solar heated and normally operates throughout the summer season. Another useful tip is to walk into the village instead of taking the car. Sachsenburg’s shops, restaurants and cafés are only a few minutes away, making everyday holiday shopping very easy. Past guests highlight the cleanliness of the sanitary facilities, friendly staff, spacious pitches and peaceful atmosphere. If you are travelling with a dog, the riverside walks are a real advantage. For cyclists, we would recommend bringing or hiring bikes locally, while active families should consider using a Kärnten Card to make several mountain and attraction visits more economical. Guests particularly appreciate the campsite as a base for exploring the wider region rather than as a destination packed with constant entertainment.
