The campsite with the best views in Switzerland
We stayed here for three days (September 2012). A clean and basic campsite, not unsurprisingly sloping a little, with some of the most scenic views we had ever seen, let alone from a campsite!
It's about 4 kilometers up a very steep road leading out of Grindelwald, follow the signs for Hotel Aspen, the campsite is down a small track to the side of the hotel.
The campsite has heated toilets & washing facilities, a small bar in the campsite and nearby restaurants, the extremely plush Hotel Aspen and the wonderful Restaurant Jägerstübli (I think), where we had a fantastic Jägerstübli rösti.
The campsite is 'un-manned' and there are signs that seemed to translate to "make your pitch and we will be along later". When we were there it was visited a few times a day by the owner, first thing in the morning and early evening. We saw lots of people waiting around for someone to turn up, but giving up before anyone appeared. Be patient, it's worth the wait. The owner is really friendly and helpful.
Local walks
There are some interesting short stories covering walks in this area on the Trip Advisor website, with the main picture taken in the campsite itself, if I'm not mistaken.
