Schönau

Switzerland-8344 Bäretswil
Your pitch is located right at the edge of the forest – amidst the natural beauty of the Zurich Oberland. Here you can enjoy the tranquility of the forest, breathe in fresh air, and listen to the gentle babbling of a small, idyllic brook that meanders naturally through the woods. The pitch is deliberately left in its natural state and not prepared, which means it is not entirely level everywhere. In return, you can expect a particularly pristine nature experience: plenty of peace, privacy, and with a bit of luck, you might even spot some forest animals. You have this place all to yourselves – a little retreat away from everyday life. The barbecue area is located in the forest and invites you to enjoy cozy evenings in nature. However, please note that during cantonal fire bans or periods of severe drought, fires are not permitted here either. The pitch is about 100 meters from the farm, so you can enjoy your peace and your own space. WC and shower are available at the farm. The village with shopping facilities and a bus stop can be reached in about 15 minutes on foot. Since you are staying on a working farm, country life is naturally part of the experience. During busy times, it can get a bit livelier – meadows are mowed several times a year and tractors are on the move. That's exactly what gives country life its authentic charm. The access road to the pitch is natural and requires some ground clearance. When it rains, the access can be partly difficult and often only manageable with a 4x4 vehicle. Alternatively, you can always camp directly on the farmyard. Parking spaces for additional vehicles are available at the farm.

The area surrounding the property offers numerous beautiful excursion destinations and nature experiences. Hikes up to Rosinli or the Bachtel are particularly popular, offering magnificent views over the entire region. On warmer days, the cool ravine walks along natural streams are a real treat—such as the Kemptnertobel or the mysterious Täuferhöhle (Anabaptist Cave) with its wonderful picnic spot. For those who love swimming or simply relaxing by the water, Lake Pfäffikon is just a 15-minute drive away, where idyllic walking paths, swimming areas, and stunning sunsets await.

Very beautiful and quiet place to relax and enjoy nature! We were welcomed very friendly. Everything great! We would love to come back...
Really beautiful, private, forested spot. We had no problem finding level ground in the forest to set up the tent, and didn’t have any standing water when rain came through overnight. The sheep and farm dogs were darling, and the creek bed running through the forest was great for exploring. Toilet, shower, and drinking water all very accessible. This is a perfect spot for people coming in on foot. One of our favorites so far, we will surely be back.
Super beautiful place and wonderful hosts. We would gladly come back.
It was wonderfully quiet, a great little place. Always nice and cool in the forest.
Shady spot right among the trees, spacious and with a nice fire pit (currently a fire ban), lots of privacy, clean toilet, thank you very much
A beautiful spot in the woods. I really liked it and the hosts were very accommodating and spontaneous :) I'd love to come back :)
For those with a tent, the area in the woods isn't quite ideal as there is no level ground. However, we were allowed to pitch our tent on a flat meadow next to the swing, which worked out great. There wasn't really any personal contact, which was a shame. In our opinion, the site is overpriced.
Everything was great, it's our second time here. Thanks for the welcome cooling off at this pitch in the woods.
