Camping in Nidwalden
Altzellerberg - Einfach mit Aussicht
Switzerland-6388 Grafenort
A simple, very quiet pitch with stunning views of the Engelberg Valley. It’s the perfect base for unforgettable experiences—whether as a couple or with the whole family—exploring on foot, by bike/e-bike, or paragliding in Engelberg-Titlis, Brunni, Bannalp, Wirzweli, Maria-Rickenbach, Stanserhorn, or on Lake Lucerne.
Access is from Grafenort (Stans-Süd towards Engelberg) via the St. Joder Chapel on the Altzellerberg. Your pitch is located on reinforced pastureland right next to the alpine stable. You’ll mostly have the surroundings to yourself, or share them with your neighbors: the cows and chickens. Here, you can admire the mountain panorama and set off on hikes, mountain climbs, or bike tours. Directly from the camp, you can stroll to Wellenberg and Eggiligrat, hike to the Walenpfad, Brunni, and Bannalp, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the St. Joder Chapel, or conquer the local paragliding paradise. Nights here are rarely so clear and the surroundings so peaceful. Only the sound of cowbells, rustling leaves, chirping crickets, or the call of a night owl, deer, or fox might disturb your sleep.
If you're interested, we’re happy to give you a glimpse into daily life on the alp and show you how our most reliable employee—an automatic milking robot—works.
Upon request, we offer traditional 'Z'Abigplättli' (evening platters) or alpine breakfasts. You can choose to enjoy your meal right by your camper, in the cozy 'Ghirmi-Hittli' shelter, or outside at the large table.
Fresh water is available right next to the pitch, and hot water can be collected at any time from the stable or the alpine hut. Showers and toilets are also located at the hut, and there is a handmade compost toilet near the Ghirmi-Hittli. Inside the Ghirmi-Hittli, you’ll find a fridge stocked with refreshing drinks, ingredients for spontaneous BBQ evenings, or snacks. There is also a coffee machine with excellent organic coffee and homemade organic products from our farm. Dogs are NOT allowed on the pitch.

Out of respect for the animals, please avoid shouting, making loud noises, or sudden movements. The animals are not used to this and may become nervous.

Less is more: as a nature-loving camper, we appreciate you minimizing waste and taking any trash back with you to be properly disposed of at nearby recycling centers. We provide one official 17-liter prepaid trash bag for your stay, which you can leave with us when you depart.

A beautiful spot with amazing views!
Dear Carla & Peter,
we had a fantastic getaway on your farm.
Great pitch, quiet location, and surrounded by nature.
Best, Inga
The stay with Carla and Peter was fantastic. Beautiful view, lovely spot, everything you need is provided, and friendly hosts. The farm products and being close to the animals were the highlights for us. Highly recommended! 😀
Stunning view, wonderful and warm hosts, very idyllic, everything designed with great attention to detail. Very good braided bread (Butterzopf)😍 We would love to come back.
A very beautiful spot surrounded by mountains, absolute peace, and a starry night – we enjoyed it sooooo much! The 'Zabigplättli' (snack platter) was also a great surprise and very delicious! A warm, welcoming family (we met two of the sons), and everything was prepared with love. THANK YOU, we will be back! Daniela & family
Straightforward and a beautiful place
