When the first rays of sunshine reach the mountain peaks of the Glarnerland in spring, one of the most beautiful times for camping holidays in Switzerland begins. Nature comes to life, waterfalls carry a lot of water and the temperatures are ideal for hiking, cycling or relaxing days by the lake. It is especially in the spring months that the Glarnerland shows its quiet and unspoiled side – perfect for anyone who wants to camp in the heart of nature.

Whether modern motorhome parking space, family-friendly campsite or idyllic spot in the middle of the mountains: the Glarnerland offers a large selection of unique accommodation options for campers, vans and motorhomes. Many of the sites are located directly on lakes, hiking trails or in the middle of the countryside and are ideal as a starting point for outdoor adventures.

The Campingplatz Güntlenau on the Klöntalersee is particularly popular in spring. The site combines alpine views with direct access to hiking trails and water sports facilities. The location on the lake creates a unique atmosphere between mountains and water even in spring.

Smaller campsites are also becoming increasingly popular in the Glarnerland. The Luchsingen campsite offers a convenient location in the Glarner Hinterland and is ideal for excursions to Braunwald or Elm. The campsite at the Hotel Segnes in Elm is also popular, and is open from April to November, providing a perfect starting point for mountain hikes.

A real insider tip for nature lovers is the remote Obersee campsite. Nestled in the woods, the campsite is particularly popular with hikers and those seeking peace and quiet. Due to the narrow mountain road, it is mainly suitable for smaller motorhomes and campervans.

For those who love camping right by the water, the Camping Gäsi on the Walensee is one of the most beautiful campsites in the region. The combination of lake, mountains and fresh spring air makes the campsite particularly attractive for families and active campers.

Spring is generally considered the ideal time for camping holidays in the Glarnerland. Between May and September, the conditions are optimal for outdoor activities, while the landscape appears particularly green and peaceful in spring. Many smaller campsites and nature camps open early in the season and offer authentic camping experiences away from the large tourist crowds.
