Camping Mittagspitze is Liechtenstein's primary campground, located at Leitengasse 31 in Triesen, a municipality in the southern Rhine Valley approximately 5 km south of Vaduz and 5 km north of Balzers. The site takes its name from the Mittagspitze, a prominent summit visible in the eastern mountain wall above the Rhine Valley, and occupies a position at the valley floor with open views of the surrounding alpine landscape that are difficult to appreciate from within Vaduz's more built-up streets.

Budget-friendly campground in Triesen offering tent sites, RV hookups, and simple cabin rentals. Beautiful mountain setting with clean facilities, small shop, and playground. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts wanting to maximize their budget while enjoying nature.

Camping Mittagspitze is Liechtenstein's primary campground, located at Leitengasse 31 in Triesen, a municipality in the southern Rhine Valley approximately 5 km south of Vaduz and 5 km north of Balzers. The site takes its name from the Mittagspitze, a prominent summit visible in the eastern mountain wall above the Rhine Valley, and occupies a position at the valley floor with open views of the surrounding alpine landscape that are difficult to appreciate from within Vaduz's more built-up streets. Triesen is a working agricultural and residential community with a quieter character than the capital. The campground fits naturally into this rural village environment, offering a genuine outdoor experience without the over-organised activity-resort feel of purpose-built holiday parks. The Rhine Valley cycling path runs in close proximity to the site, making Camping Mittagspitze a logical and well-used overnight stop for cycle tourers working the scenic route between Chur and Lake Constance. The campground accommodates three categories of guest: tent campers on individual pitches, motorhome and caravan guests with electrical hook-up connections, and those opting for simple cabin rental as a modest upgrade from tent camping. A small shop on site handles basic provisions. Hot shower and toilet blocks are maintained to a clean and functional standard, and a children's playground makes the site practical for families with young children. Views of the Rätikon mountain range rising sharply to the east of the Rhine Valley are a genuine attraction of the site — open and unobstructed by the buildings that define the Vaduz townscape. On clear mornings the peaks appear in sharp relief above the vine-covered slopes of Triesenberg and Vaduz. Access to the capital by public bus from Triesen takes approximately 10 minutes, with services running throughout the day in both directions along the Rhine Valley main road. Rates of CHF 25 to CHF 90 per night depending on pitch type and season represent the lowest accommodation costs available anywhere in Liechtenstein.

Tips for visiting

  • High summer (July and August) is the busiest period; advance booking is essential for caravan and cabin spots, though tent pitches are sometimes available without reservation
  • Bring a good sleeping bag even in summer — valley temperatures drop significantly after sunset at Rhine Valley altitude
  • The campground shop covers basics; the nearest full supermarket is in Triesen village or Vaduz centre, both reachable by bus or bicycle
  • The adjacent cycle path connects directly to Vaduz, making the site an excellent base for a cycling day through the principality's main valley

Accessibility

The campground terrain is largely flat, typical of Rhine Valley campsites, which assists mobility across the site. However, dedicated wheelchair-accessible facilities are not confirmed in available information. Guests with specific accessibility needs should contact the campground directly before arrival.
