Do I have to book?
Not for tent, caravan or motorhome — with us you choose your pitch freely. You arrive, look for a spot and register. What can be reserved are the four rooms in the Erdhaus and the rental caravan.
Frequently asked questions
Booking and arriving
Is there still space?
Almost always, yes. We only get full on the odd weekend in July and August and on the public holidays in spring, and even that rarely. On all other days there is space.
See the full days →We are coming as a group — does that work without registering?
From 15 people on we ask for a reservation by email or phone — just let us know briefly and we'll set it up. For smaller groups the free choice of pitch applies just as it does for everyone else. Behind the Wiedenwäldchen there is a group area of its own, quiet and shady. We provide benches and tables for groups.
Write an enquiry →When can we arrive?
On the campsite there are no fixed arrival and departure times. Come whenever it suits you. Your arrival should be before 22:00, from then on it is quiet hours. Reception is open daily from 9 to 10, Monday to Saturday also from 17 to 18 — that is where you register and pay. For the rooms and the rental caravan: move in from 14:00, on the day of departure until 14:00. The key is in the lock on the inside; you check in and out by yourself.
How do we get into the room or the rental caravan?
The key is in the lock on the inside. You move in from 14:00 and check in by yourself — reception hours don't matter for that. When you leave, put the key back in the lock on the inside. We let you know which room you get after booking.
What is the access road like? Can I get there with a motorhome?
Yes, and there is no length limit. From the Trin Mulin stop it is about 400 metres along a gravel track, past the tennis court, the football pitch and the cross-country ski trail. The track is closed to general traffic — for the drive to the campsite you may use it.
Full directions →When are you open?
From 1 April to 31 October.
Is the site open in winter?
No. The season runs from 1 April to 31 October; over the winter the site is closed.
Prices and paying
What does a night cost?
On the campsite you pay for what you bring with you, plus per person: adults (16 and over) CHF 14, teenagers (13–15) CHF 10, children (6–12) CHF 6. Younger children stay for free. The visitor's tax is already included. A room costs CHF 70 per night, plus CHF 20 per person aged 16 and over and CHF 10 per child from 3 to 15 — from 16 teenagers count as adults in the room, infants up to 2 stay for free. The rental caravan costs CHF 38 per night; the prices per person are the same as in the room. For rooms and the rental caravan the minimum in July and August is 3 nights.
All prices →How can you pay?
On the campsite you pay on arrival at reception, in cash or by card; card payments incur a 3 % surcharge. TWINT is not possible. If you really can't come by during reception hours, leave the amount in cash in the payment envelope. For the rooms and the rental caravan you transfer 50 % after booking — the account details are in the email you receive right after booking; from the euro area you transfer to our EUR account. The booking is final once the payment has arrived. You pay the rest on arrival during reception hours, in cash or by card — or you transfer the full amount in advance.
Can I transfer the full amount in advance?
Yes. The 50 % deposit is the minimum — you can also transfer the full amount in advance, then there is nothing left to pay on arrival. Otherwise you pay the rest on arrival at reception, in cash or by card; card payments incur a 3 % surcharge.
Do we get an invoice or a receipt?
The booking confirmation you receive by email states the amount and serves as your receipt. If you need an invoice, just send us a short email — we'll issue one for you.
Write to us →Is there electricity at the pitch?
Yes. For motorhomes and caravans the connection is included in the price, otherwise it costs CHF 5 per night. There is also a tent meadow with an electricity connection.
Can you do laundry?
Yes, there is a washing machine. One wash costs about CHF 4 to 7, depending on programme and weight.
Are there annual pitches?
The existing annual pitches are all taken at the moment.
Is the car included?
With a room in the Erdhaus, yes. With the rental caravan, no — there the car costs CHF 5 per night on top. On the campsite it costs CHF 5 per night; with the jumbo tent and the caravan it is included.
Do we get a guest card?
Yes, you get the Trin guest card from us. At the Crestasee you pay CHF 5 admission with it instead of 7.
On the site
We won't arrive until after 22:00 — is that possible?
Please arrive before 22:00. From 22:00 it is quiet hours. Look for a spot and come to reception in the morning between 9 and 10 — that is where you register and pay.
Can we cancel a room booking free of charge?
Up to 14 days before arrival, yes. From 13 to 4 days beforehand half of the total price falls due, from 3 days beforehand the whole amount. If we can let the period to someone else, the fee is waived.
The full terms →Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, free and without a password. The network is called «gast camping». It reaches the southern part below the Erdhaus — further up the site it does not arrive everywhere.
Is there a restaurant?
There is no regular restaurant. On Saturdays there is often pizza from our oven. There is also a pizza station where you make your own pizza, and a kitchen in the Erdhaus for cooking for yourself.
Where do you empty chemical toilets and waste water?
At the disposal station directly south below the Erdhaus.
What else is there on the site?
Toilets, showers, washing facilities and a kitchen in the Erdhaus. The showers are included in the price. Outside: playground, tipi, fire pits and an orchard.
Everything in detail →Which tent meadow suits us?
There are three: a quiet and shady one that suits groups, a quiet and sunny one at the edge, and one with an electricity connection. The site plan shows where they are.
See the site plan →Can you drink the water?
Yes, everywhere. The drinking water here is excellent. You can fill up at the fountain and don't need to bring any.
What is there in the area?
The Crestasee can be reached on foot in a good half hour, the Il Spir viewing platform above the Rhine Gorge in about an hour. To the Caumasee it is about an hour and a half — or a short stretch by postbus. The tennis court, the football pitch and the cross-country ski trail lie right on the access road.
Walks, shopping and events →Where can you eat out?
In the village there is the Ustria Parlatsch with Grisons cuisine — capuns and Trin raviuls. An hour's walk uphill lies Restaurant Conn by the viewing platform, open all year and the finest walking destination with lunch. Here on the site there is often pizza from our oven on Saturdays, and at the pizza station you make your own pizza.
All the options →What is included in the room?
Bed linen and towels are included, and so is the car. Every room has a toilet, a shower and its own terrace. The rooms are heated. Room 1 (yellow) is for two, rooms 2 (red) and 3 (green) have a sofa bed as well, room 4 (blue) has bunk beds for five. We let you know which room you get after booking. There is no fridge in the room; you can cook in the kitchen in the Erdhaus. We don't provide a cot — please bring your own.
What is included in the rental caravan?
The rental caravan is caravan no. 1, directly to the right of the Erdhaus, with kitchen and seating area. It sleeps up to four: a double bed, and the seating area converts into a bed for two. Bring your own duvet, pillows, duvet cover for the double bed and a sheet — towels as well. The car is not included; it costs CHF 5 per night.
Are bed linen and towels provided?
In the room, yes, both. Not in the rental caravan: bring your own duvet, pillows, duvet cover for the double bed and a sheet — and towels as well.
Are there showers and toilets on the site?
Yes. The Erdhaus has washbasins, showers and toilets for all campsite guests; the showers are included in the price. The four rooms each have their own toilet and shower.
Can children stay in the room too?
Yes. Room 2 (red) has a sofa bed for two small children or one more adult, room 3 (green) has space for up to four people; room 4 (blue) has bunk beds for up to five. Room 1 (yellow) is for two. Children from 3 to 15 pay the children's rate. Infants up to 2 stay free — in the cot you bring along or in bed with you.
All prices →Is there a kitchen?
Yes. In the Erdhaus there is a kitchen with stove, pans and crockery that is open to all guests. The rooms themselves have no kitchen; the rental caravan has its own. On Saturdays there is often pizza from our oven, and at the pizza station you make your own pizza.
Are there animals on the site?
Yes. Our four donkeys stand on the meadow next door — please don't feed them, they get enough. And Cilla, our snow-white cat. All around are farms with cows and horses, and at the edge of the forest you keep seeing deer.
Where can you shop?
The Volg in Trin Mulin is a few minutes away: Monday to Friday 7 to 19, Saturday 7 to 17, closed on Sundays. Bread and baked goods are available there. Up in the village there is a second Volg.
More about the area →Is there coffee or something to drink?
Yes, we sell coffee and drinks at reception. Reception is open daily from 9 to 10, Monday to Saturday also from 17 to 18. We don't have bread. The Volg is a few minutes away.
Dogs, fire, quiet
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, on a lead. A dog costs CHF 4 per night. In the rental accommodation a one-off CHF 10 for the final cleaning is added.
Are barbecues and open fires allowed?
In principle yes, there are three official fire pits. In dry spells a fire ban can apply. If one is in force, we will let you know.
What should we bear in mind?
Please no wet wipes down the toilet — not even the ones that say «flushable». They block the sewage pump. Drive slowly on the gravel track, children come round the corner. And only organic waste belongs in the organic container.
Can you swim in the Rhine?
No. The Vorderrhein flows down in the gorge, and it pulls hard — it is not suitable for swimming. People swim in the lakes: the Crestasee is within walking distance and pleasantly warm in summer, the Caumasee a little further. The pond on the site is for looking at, not for swimming.
