Another one that I found, they have
- 300 beds (across two properties) in Grindelwald
- 600 beds across various properties in Interlaken
(and camping is allowed too)
- 160 beds (across two properties) in Luzern

and a further comment on finance: even if these are the same prices as
Le Camp, maybe they won't demand 60k CHF installments up front. It
appears many of them are in busy locations where they would easily fill
any empty beds, so DebConf would not be taking 160k CHF risk
