What sites do folk recommend?

Hi An Triubhas
As far as I'm aware there are only 2 campsites in or by Grindelwald and after a mates recomendation who had been, my buddies I stayed in the Eiger Nordwand campsite in Grund last summer:
http://www.eigernordwand.ch/
Both campsites are expensive (about 20 chf pppn with a car I think) but the facilities at Eiger Nordwand were very good, the site got a lot of sun unlike the other, the setting was superb with the North Face as a backdrop, a 5 minute walk to the Grund station if heading up to the Jungfraujoch station (about 175 chf return!) although it was about a 20 minute walk uphill to Grindalwald an the Co-op for supplies, beer, wine etc. The other campsite was tucked away in Grindewald itself and seemed to largely cater for campervans with little space for tents and appeared to be in the shade a lot!
Hope this helps
Dave

I stayed in this one three summers ago: ahttp://www.cookipedia.co.uk/recipes_wiki/Campsite_Holdrio,_Aspen,_Under_Eig...

Very pleasant. Small and fairly basic but with perfectly adequate facilities. Up a wiggly road from Grindelwald. Pretty much under the N.face and with great views over the valley. Nice grassy site. I'd use it again - seemed much quieter and nicer(to my taste!) than Eigernordwand.

Stayed at the site by the Aspen this summer. Best value in town (not saying much) and has the best pitches by far.
