If you love lakeside camping and smart savings, the 20% long‑stay discount at Terrassencamping Ossiacher See is your ticket to a longer, better‑value break. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how the 20% long‑stay discount works, who qualifies, what’s included (and what’s not), and practical tips to plan an extended stay without surprises.
Use this as your step‑by‑step playbook to book confidently, optimize your dates, and stretch your budget further.
What is the 20% long‑stay discount?
The 20% long‑stay discount is a price reduction applied to the pitch fee when you stay for 14 nights or more. In other words, once your booking reaches 14 nights, the nightly pitch fee is reduced by 20% for your stay.
Quick answer (featured‑snippet ready):
- The 20% long‑stay discount applies from 14 nights onward to the pitch fee portion of your booking at Terrassencamping Ossiacher See.
Who is eligible and when does it apply?
- Eligibility: Any camping guest whose booking is 14 nights or longer.
- What it applies to: The pitch fee only.
- What it doesn’t replace: Person fees, local tax, electricity charged by consumption, optional extras (e.g., private bath), and any dog fee are calculated separately according to the current price list.
Tip: If you’re close to the 14‑night threshold, consider extending by a night or two. Crossing that line triggers the 20% reduction on the pitch fee, which can meaningfully lower your total.

How the 20% is calculated (and what to expect on your bill)
- The discount reduces the pitch fee line by 20% once your stay reaches 14 nights.
- All other charges (persons, dog, optional private bath, local tax, electricity by kWh) are added separately according to the season.
Practical formula you can use:
- Discounted pitch fee total = (Sum of nightly pitch fees) × 0.8
- Overall total = Discounted pitch fee total + persons + dog (if applicable) + optional extras + local tax + electricity
Booking and payment terms for longer stays (pitches)
Booking a long stay is straightforward. Here are the key terms that matter when you plan 14+ nights:
- Written confirmation: Bookings are accepted and confirmed in writing.
- Deposit and fees (per reserved pitch):
- For bookings of 1 to 3 nights: the entire booking amount is paid in advance.
- For bookings of 4 nights or more: a 30% deposit of the total cost of the booked stay plus a € 10,00 reservation fee is due.
- Arrival and departure: Your reserved pitch is available from 12:00 (noon) on arrival day and must be vacated by 12:00 (noon) on departure day.
- Late arrival or early departure: During the summer season, unused nights are charged at a flat rate of € 45,00 per night. If you expect a change, notify reception as early as possible.
Fixed pitch reservation (optional)
If you want to secure a specific pitch number, you can add a fixed pitch reservation:
- One‑time fee: € 50,00 per pitch (with a confirmed pitch number)
- High season (01.07–01.09): minimum 7 nights
- Mid/early/late season (15.04–01.07 and 01.09–01.11): minimum 5 nights
This add‑on guarantees your chosen pitch number and prevents further changes to that assignment.
Cancellations and refunds
Plans can change—here’s how cancellations work:
- Cancel up to 30 days before arrival: no cancellation fees; the deposit is refunded minus the € 10,00 reservation fee (or can be credited to a later stay).
- Cancel within 30 days of arrival: no refund.
- Cancellations must be made in writing (email or letter).
Can you combine the 20% long‑stay discount with other offers?
There are separate seasonal promotions, such as Special Deal Days (3+1 or 5+2) available in defined spring/early summer and autumn windows. These include pitch fee, person(s) fee, and dog, but are not cumulative and cannot be combined with other promotions. They also exclude the environmental fee, local tax (€ 2,70 per person 18+), and electricity (charged at 0,90/kWh), and are valid only with prior booking.
- Special Deal Days validity (2026):
- April 12 to June 30, 2026
- September 1 to October 19, 2026
What this means in practice:
- Choose the option that yields the better overall value for your dates and party size. For extended summer holidays or multi‑week stays, the 20% long‑stay discount on the pitch fee is often the straightforward choice.
Practical tips to maximize your savings
- Aim for 14+ nights: The moment you cross 13 nights, your pitch fee qualifies for the 20% reduction.
- Pick your season strategically: Spring/Autumn and the in‑between season have lower base pitch and person fees than peak summer.
- Right‑size your pitch category: Terrace and first‑row lake‑view pitches are premium; Comfort pitches keep nightly costs lower—especially over multiple weeks.
- Track electricity use: At 0,90 €/kWh, simple habits like switching off devices when not in use can keep your total lean on a long stay.
- Book the private bath only for the nights you’ll use it: It’s a great comfort add‑on; optimizing its duration helps manage costs.
- Traveling with kids? Note the age brackets: Children 0–2 are always free; reduced or free rates apply for 3–13 depending on the season. Planning your dates around these brackets can make a noticeable difference.
- Reserve a fixed pitch number only if you need it: The € 50,00 fee secures a specific spot—great for must‑have views or proximity—but it’s optional.
- Lock in your plans: Summer early departure/no‑show costs (e.g., € 45,00 per unused night in summer) can add up. Confirm your dates in advance and communicate any changes early.
- Staying even longer? Ask for a special offer: If you’re considering an extended stay beyond two weeks, reach out—longer bookings may unlock additional options.
