Olachgut Camping

Nestled in the heart of Austria’s beautiful Styrian region, Olachgut Camping is a family-run destination that truly stands out for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Spread across a generous 10 hectares (about 100,000 m²) of gently tiered meadowland along the river and framed by wooded hills, this scenic campsite offers plenty of space to relax, explore or park your motorhome in comfort.

The site strikes a rare balance between peaceful natural surroundings and top-tier facilities. All camping pitches are comfort pitches with electricity, water and waste connections — perfect for tents, caravans, and motorhomes alike. The generous pitch size (typically 90 – 130 m²) means you’ll always have room to spread out and enjoy your outdoor base.

Sanitary facilities here go beyond the basics: expect modern, clean spaces with heated showers, family-friendly features, and playful design elements — even a waterfall shower experience in the main block. On-site amenities include laundry facilities, dishwashing areas, a drying and ski room, plus free Wi-Fi covering most of the property.

Beyond camping, Olachgut offers activities for all ages – from a leisure pond perfect for a refreshing summer dip, to a street soccer pitch, dog agility zone, 3D archery course, and even an on-site riding hall with equestrian opportunities. Whether you’re travelling solo, with friends or family (including dogs), this is a place where you can unwind and let nature set your pace.

The landscape around Olachgut Camping is a playground of Alpine charm and outdoor activities. Just 3 km from the campsite lies the village centre of St. Georgen am Kreischberg, where you’ll find local shops, cafés and restaurants for authentic Austrian cuisine or an evening aperitif.

Nature beckons right outside your door: lace up your hiking boots and explore scenic trails winding through the surrounding forested mountains, or hop on a bike to pedal along calm country roads and dedicated cycling routes. The nearby Mur River offers excellent conditions for fishing and gentle paddling.

In winter or summer alike, outdoor fun awaits at the nearby Kreischberg ski and adventure area. In winter, world-class skiing and snowboarding slopes are within easy reach, while in summer the lifts turn into gateways to panoramic hiking and mountain biking.

A short drive will also bring you to Murau, a charming historic town known for its medieval centre, breweries and cultural events. Whether you’re craving a leisurely meal, a quick shop, or a cultural outing, the region around Olachgut blends traditional Austrian lifestyle with endless outdoor exploration.

To make the most of your Olachgut getaway, a few practical tips can help you plan:

Booking & Seasons: The campsite operates year-round with a main season from spring through early October and cosy winter openings that make it perfect for snow-based holidays too. Reservations are especially recommended in peak summer or holiday weeks to secure your preferred pitch or accommodation.

Facilities & Services: The campsite supports a family-friendly environment, and many pitches allow you to choose your spot on arrival. There’s a good supply of clean toilets and showers, laundry machines and even electric car charging stations nearby. You’ll find Wi-Fi available through most of the site, though speeds can vary.

What to Bring: Even though the site covers utilities and provides excellent infrastructure, outdoor gear like hiking boots, swimsuits for the summer pond, and warm layers for evening mountain air are recommended. If you’re bringing pets, ensure they’re leashed where required and take advantage of the agility and play areas on site.

Local Tips: With public transport stops only about 50 m away, you can easily reach surrounding attractions without a car. Explore local hiking trails, sample regional cuisine in nearby inns, or take part in seasonal activities. In warmer months, children’s programs and leisure events make the campground lively and memorable.
