The newly built stellplatz for caravans and trailers is located in close proximity to the Švihov water castle.
The stellplatz is situated in the adjacent water mill area, from where you have a direct view of the castle itself.

On the stellplatz you will find:
- 4 paved parking spaces for caravans/trailers.
- Each pitch has a water and electricity connection (included).
- Each plot has its own lighting.
- A chemical toilet sink.
- Grey water outlet (driveway).
- Garden for recreation.


Water mill Švihov is a protected monument, where gradual reconstruction is underway. A lot of work is going on inside the building, so guests are not disturbed, but it is still a living organism that grows and blossoms, so there may be some movement and bustle around the mill. In the event of major work, the stellplatz will be closed to guests.

Please do not enter the marked no-entry areas. Use of the seating area "behind the hub" only by prior arrangement with the owners.

Personal sips without camping:
Although at first impression it may seem that you are entering a construction site, this is only partially true. The current owners decided 6 years ago to buy and save the mill and are gradually restoring and reconstructing what the communist managed to "finish". The caravan parking area is new, and the garden and courtyard areas have already been partially restored. However, it is necessary to take into account the "industrial" colour of the place.
The owner's account of the rescue of the mill, the reconstruction, what he is dealing with and what he is gradually uncovering is fascinating. If you're lucky, he'll even take you on a tour.
A great reward and bonus is the location of the stellplatz. You can't sleep in a caravan anywhere near the castle. The garden is surrounded by a wall, so you have plenty of privacy. The place has a strong genius loci.

Mr. Father's personal sip
As a student, I did a tour of Swihov Castle and fell in love with the place. I used to walk past the mill there. It was a ruin. He looked at me, I looked at him, like that for about 15 years. And then we kind of miraculously got together. I've given him all my time, money, blood and sweat ever since. And I'm not alone in this, fortunately I have great helpers. We bought the mill in 2018 in a total state of disrepair. Leaky roofs, jungle, hundreds of tons of debris, ubiquitous clutter. Anyone who hasn't seen the state of the site at the time won't believe the work that has been done on it, although many parts still look quite run down. The house has a soul, and I sense that soul has been enjoying the last few years, and the house itself has been cooperating in its own renovation. Like an abandoned cat that is glad for a little bit of that care and food, that has gotten a little rest and is looking forward to being scratched.

Speaking of cats. There are two cats living at the mill. Meow and her son Tigger. They're friendly, but they don't exactly seek out friendships with dogs, as it happens. Animals of all kinds are welcome, but if your dog's favourite pastime is chasing cats, then please stop him from doing so.
Apart from the cats, it's like a little aquatic zoo. There are nutria, ducks and of course fish swimming in the reservoir. And people. They can use the granite staircase into the water or jump right off the bank. On your own, of course. We don't have lifeguards. ;-) See you in Švihov!

Visited personally by the campu.eu team. Our comments:

Pozemek jsme navštívili těsně po jeho kolaudaci. Samotné parcely na parkování jsou vyštěrkované, u každé je přípojka na elektřinu a kohoutek na vodu. Je zajímavé sledovat detaily, například osvětlení u jednotlivých parcel, dvířka k elektrice, nebo využití starých porcelánových a bakelitových vypínačů. Vodní mlýn je chráněnou památkou a právě na něm probíhá rekonstrukce. Majitel se pustil do obdivuhodné práce – pokud budete mít štěstí, vezme vás do útrob mlýna a ukáže vám, jak ho komunisté "upravili". Je tedy třeba počítat částečně s "industriálním" okolím, ale práce většinou probíhají uvnitř mlýna. Stellplatz je nový, stejně tak je již k dispozici zahrada pro hosty nebo vodní náhon pro koupání. Držíme majiteli palce, ať se mu daří dál – je opravdový nadšenec a nelze říct nic jiného než: "klobouček dolů" před ním.
