Camping Jungfrau: Don't camp here!
My trip to Switzerland was very memorable! Mostly because of the beautiful landscape. But was cut short because of how greedy the owner of Camping Jungfrau is. It was high season I understand. But in Europe everywhere we camped they divide their camping site into lots. Not here! They squeezed in as many people as they could. We were required to book and pay deposit in advance and must stay 7 nights. But they also took people who didn't book and "find" places for them. We ended up being sandwiched all 4 directions by big and small tents, not even 1m away from our tent. There was no way to walk around at night without stripping on the some big tent's string they used to straighten their tents. And NOISY!!! So noisy! At our heads we heard snoring sound, on the left and right sides they talked and laughed all night, and early morning at 5AM, 6AM. If you forget something in the car, walk 100m to get as you couldn't park the car where you camped. The Koreans (5 men in 1 tent) next to us were so noisy all night, every night that after few nights like that. We couldn't stand anymore. We had to check out. NO rest after every full day of mountain climbing. They accepted so many people that there was never hot water in male bathroom so my friend was so mad, having cold shower every evening, when it was 12oC outside. It was not clean having too many people. The only good thing was the PAID per use kitchen they had there. Was clean and well equipped. Service from the reception was very unpleasant. The camping is a good 30 min walk from the train station. It's beautiful around, for sure. But, paying USD48 each night for a small lot of camping site, we certainly expected at least some hot water in the evening and some sleep. There are so many camping sites around and hostels... Better located and they had lots assigned. We checked them out. Don't waste money here like we did! Internet was highly charged. And even if I paid, I had to wait 1 hour at night to use my 15min of internet to check mails. Terrible place!
Unique Quality: The camping is surrounded in very scenic surrounding and lovely waterfall. It could have been a nice experience!
