Camping spots in the Carnuntum-Marchfeld region
Nature in the morning, cosmopolitan cities in the afternoon
What makes the Carnuntum-Marchfeld region so special is its unique location nestled between two European capitals. From many camping spots, you can reach both Vienna and Bratislava easily – while still spending the night surrounded by nature. Vienna entices with rich culture, traditional coffee houses, and urban charm, and is quickly accessible by public transport. From several locations, you can even cycle directly to Bratislava along the Danube Cycle Path: enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your pitch in the morning, pedal through the Slovak capital by day, and unwind under the starlit sky in the evening – freedom rarely gets any better than this.

Camping & outdoor activities in the heart of nature
Many of our Nomady spots are located where bird song is the only sound in the morning and sunsets over fields, vineyards, or the Danube await in the evening. The Donau-Auen National Park forms the green heart of the region – ideal for strolls, hikes, or relaxing hours by the water. Cyclists will also find plenty to love: the region is flat, expansive, and perfect for scenic rides through cellar lanes, wine villages, and along the Danube.

In the footsteps of the Romans
Camping and Roman history? In Carnuntum-Marchfeld, the two make a surprisingly great match. Carnuntum, once a thriving metropolis on the Danube Limes, is one of Austria's most fascinating historical destinations. A unique, fully reconstructed Roman residential quarter with thermal baths, two Roman amphitheatres, and the famous Heidentor (Heathens' Gate) bring history vividly to life.

Between imperial flair and palace gardens
If you love combining camping with delightful excursions, you should definitely explore the famous Marchfeld palaces, reachable within just a few minutes by car from many pitches in the region. Schloss Hof, with its magnificent gardens, ranks among Austria's most impressive Baroque estates. Furthermore, Schloss Eckartsau—the last residence of Emperor Charles I—Schloss Orth with its National Park Centre, and Schloss Marchegg with its famous stork colony are among the region's special places waiting to be discovered.

Culinary indulgence is part of the experience
After a day spent outdoors, dinner by your camper tastes twice as good – especially with regional produce from Carnuntum and the Marchfeld. The region is renowned for its outstanding wines, cosy wine taverns (Heurige), and fresh Marchfeld vegetables. Our tip: pick up local delicacies directly from a farm shop, uncork a bottle of Carnuntum wine, and unwind in front of your camper as the evening unfolds.

Ideal for spontaneous getaways
The best part? The Carnuntum-Marchfeld region is easily accessible yet immediately feels like a genuine break from everyday life. No stressful planning, no crowded campsites – just nature, freedom, and a surprising abundance of possibilities. Many attractions and even two world capitals can be reached comfortably by bike or public transport from numerous spots – without the hassle of finding parking or dealing with traffic. Perfect for anyone looking to set off spontaneously and combine nature, freedom, and little adventures.
