Camping Lake Zürich

This item appears on page 5 of the August 2016 issue.

On the shores of Lake Zürich, Switzerland, the campground Fischer’s Fritz (Seestrasse 559, 8038 Zürich, Switzerland; phone +41 44 482 1612, www.fischers-fritz.ch/en), open all year, offers three ways for visitors to camp.

For CHF30 (near $30) per person per night for up to three people, campers can sleep under a “hanging tent” (no walls) suspended from a tree. Campers must bring their own bedding.

Campers can rent one of two kinds of safari tents nightly: a luxury tent with a double bed (plus a bottle of champagne), at CHF150 for two people, or a simple safari tent with four beds, at CHF45 per person for up to four people. 

Reserved in advance, up to four visitors can rent the Airstream camper, at CHF160 per night for two people plus CHF30 per night for each additional person.
