More about the camp venue

A picturesque setting by Lake Balaton

The Balatongyörök Youth Camp, the sleepover camp venue hosting Funside Balaton, is located on the western shore of Lake Balaton. This lovely venue, with its large green areas, lies directly next to the lakeshore, in the immediate vicinity of the Balatongyörök Lookout which offers one of the most beautiful panoramas of the lake. The foundation-maintained campsite is nostalgic and evolving at the same time: camping children and youth can experience the classic camp atmosphere while the location serves Funside Balaton camp's unique program and wide range of activities with modern facilities.

Accommodation

Our accommodation is exclusively in buildings, in simple but comfortable 3 to 6-bed bedrooms. The camp has its own kitchen where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are prepared (more about meals).

Main building

4, 5 and 6-bed bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, in a two-story building. The majority of the rooms are located here: most of our campers and teachers stay in this building during camp. More photos...

The Sunshine Hostel

This building has 3, 4 and 5-bed bedrooms, with separate girls' wing and boys' wings. These have shared bathrooms located within the gender-separated wings, next to the rooms. There are fewer rooms here (12 rooms): these are occupied by our oldest, 16-17 year-old campers. More photos...
