Camp SOAY

Discover your ideal basecamp for adventures around Balsthal in our little oasis, nestled in the heart of Thal Nature Park. Though centrally located in the village (expect some ambient village sounds!), our camp offers ample space and a connection to nature. Our vibrant animal community (now rooster-free!) provides endless entertainment throughout the day – there's always something happening! Perfect for two small families with two tents/campers/caravans. XXL caravans welcome! The camp is conveniently situated right by the train station/PostBus hub. The outdoor pool, shopping, and various restaurants/takeaways are all within walking distance. Balsthal is the gateway to the Jura mountains. Nearby leisure activities include the climbing park in Langenbruck, a summer toboggan run, hiking in Thal Nature Park, two mini-golf courses, an indoor pool, and bowling. Our 'Buureschränkli' (farm shop) offers a changing selection of organic quality products for sale: Local beer, dried meat, and honey; jam, apple cider, and eggs directly from the farm. For chilly days, you can also find local Finnish candles. Various dining options are available: an Italian-run restaurant right next door (we recommend the pizza or Fritto Misto), a kiosk with fresh croissants and coffee in the morning, a petrol station shop at the village entrance, and various other shops and restaurants in the village center.
