Reviews of Camping Nord-Sam, Salzburg
Chris
Excellent campsite, 20mins (by bus) from city centre. Clean toilets and showers. Large parking bays/pitches. Friendly staff. Well maintained swimming pool.
Alex Robson
Decent location and easy bus into the centre of Salzburg just outside. The pool was great, fresh pastries in the morning are available. They prefer cash if you can on shorter stays. They also have a food truck on an evening several days of the week.
Jac Mckevitt
Great place to stay with our Campervan. Friendly & welcoming staff. Located close to Salzburg-we were able to use our scooters to get into the beautiful city, alongside the river. Facilities were good. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Showers were okay! Could have been hotter for me and had to press ‘on’ button every 5 seconds! Would recommend and return.
Christy Whiddon
Nice plots divided by hedges, very green and beautiful landscape. Close to downtown. Pool with limited swimming hours. Surrounded by train tracks nearby on one side and trams on another, so quite a bit of night noises. Showers free but you have to press a button for about 10 seconds of cold water. No option for hot water- seems their water heater is not big enough for the camp. Quite expensi...
Skin Dude
Not too bad at all for a city site. Great to visit Salzburg on the bus from right outside. BUT remember the return bus stops at about 8pm! Nice friendly people run the place. Showers etc are ok but lots of people. Pitches are small but ok. A tad prices so It's a 3.5 for me
