A campsite in the shadow of the Grossglockner
The Nationalpark Camping is in Heiligenblut, the village where the Grossglockner road ends on the south side. It occupies a wide, quiet meadow, close to the centre, with Austria's highest peak in view. It has 150 pitches and opens all year: in summer it is a base for walking in the national park and in winter for skiing at the Heiligenblut resort, with a free ski bus.
It is the cheapest option for sleeping beside the road, and the most comfortable if you travel in a motorhome: you arrive in the afternoon, sleep down below and go up to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe first thing, while there is still space in the car park.
Facilities and prices
The campsite advertises comfortable toilet blocks, electric hook-ups, a kiosk, lighting throughout the site, an area for motorcyclists, parking, table tennis, a playground and a meadow to lie on. In winter cross-country ski trails pass nearby. They accept dogs and credit cards.

The Almcasino restaurant
Inside the campsite is the Almcasino, a restaurant and café also used by locals. Its website says it is open daily, with no rest day, with breakfast and kitchen in the afternoon, but warns that the kitchen is not working at full capacity right now. The published menu is simple Austrian cooking: goulash soup, Wiener Schnitzel, Käsespätzle with alpine cheese, alpine trout and apple strudel, with main courses between about €10 and €24. Ask at reception what they are serving that day.
Getting there
Hadergasse 11, in Heiligenblut. With the road open, from early May to early November, you arrive from the north crossing the Hochtor pass. Out of season, or if you have a large vehicle and don't want to climb the pass, come in through the Felbertauern tunnel and Lienz, or up the Möll valley from the Tauern motorway.
