Szentendre
This big, leafy camping ground takes up most of Pap Island, some 2km north of Szentendre. Motel (6400Ft per double) and hostel (4800Ft per double) rooms are very basic, though the 'comfort bungalows' are slightly more, well, comfortable. Facilities include a small supermarket, a snack bar and a restaurant.
Buses heading north on Rte 11 to Visegrád and Esztergom will stop nearby; ring the bell after you pass the Hotel Danubius (Ady Endre utca 28) on the left.
