In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
What sets Camping Jungfrau apart is the sheer range of ways to stay. There are tent pitches for travelers who bring their own gear, wooden cabins sleeping 2-6 people with beds and heating, glamping pods — a furnished tent with a bed and electricity — and proper hotel rooms for anyone who wants ordinary comfort. The shared bathrooms are kept clean, there's a playground and a kids' pool, and one family review put it simply: the children didn't want to go back to a hotel.
Food and amenities
The park runs its own supermarket, and the prices beat the village shops — which matters a lot, because the stores down in the valley run on steep Swiss mountain markups. The restaurant serves Swiss and international food, with the cheese fondue and pizza both reviewing well. Wi-Fi is free across the grounds, and there's plenty of parking for road-trippers and camper vans. Reception will sort out your Schilthorn Day Pass, Jungfraujoch ticket and a trip to Trummelbach Falls.
Location and getting there
The park sits at the southern end of the Lauterbrunnen valley, about 1.5 km from Lauterbrunnen Bahnhof. The free valley PostBus runs hourly for Guest Card holders and covers the distance in about 10 minutes. The headline draw is the 360-degree cliff view — Jungfrau, Mönch, the Mürren/Schilthorn cliff wall and the waterfalls dropping into the valley, all in one frame. As more than one reviewer noted, the view here beats a lot of 4-star hotels.
Things to know before booking
You are not in the village centre — it's roughly 10 minutes away by the free shuttle, which is fine but worth knowing if you'd rather walk out your door into town. In peak summer, July through August, the park fills up and you'll want to book 3-4 months ahead for a cabin or pod. And because it's a campsite, much of the setup runs on shared bathrooms — book the hotel-room or cabin tier if you want a private one.
Our take
This is the best-value stay in the valley and the highest-rated on this list at 9.1/10, and it earns it. The cliff views, the supermarket, the four ways to stay and the family setup add up to something a standard hotel can't match — outdoor space with hotel-style convenience bolted on. If you've got kids, a tight budget, or a camper van, start here.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- 360-degree valley cliff views that take in Jungfrau, Schilthorn and the waterfalls dropping off the valley walls — many reviewers say the view beats a lot of 4-star hotels.
- Four accommodation styles under one roof: pitch your own tent, take a 2-6 person wooden cabin with beds and heating, book a glamping pod with a bed and electricity, or stay in a hotel room.
- Genuinely family friendly — there's a playground, a kids' pool and a restaurant, and one family review summed it up as the kids not wanting to leave.
- An onsite supermarket priced better than the shops in the village, so you can cook your own meals.
- The cheapest option in this roundup, starting around $80 a night.
- It sits at the southern end of the valley, about 1.5 km and roughly 10 minutes from Lauterbrunnen Bahnhof — there's a free shuttle bus, but you are not in the village centre.
- It fills up in peak summer, July through August, so you'll want to book 3-4 months ahead for a cabin or pod.
- Shared bathrooms come with the campsite setup, so if you want a private bathroom and full hotel comfort you'll need to book the hotel room or cabin tier rather than a tent pitch.
