Campsites in Slovenia – stay close to nature

Slovenia is graced by beautiful nature, with a different character in every part of this green country. Stay close to nature by choosing one of the many well-maintained campsites for your next getaway.

Why choose campsites in Slovenia?

Do you love waking up to birdsong and falling asleep under the stars? Camping brings us back to our roots, closer to nature and away from the stress of everyday life. But don’t be tempted to pitch your tent just anywhere – wild camping is prohibited in Slovenia.

Instead, immerse yourself in nature at one of the many well-maintained campsites across the country. Most campsites offer more than just pitches for overnight stays. In addition to areas for tents, caravans and motorhomes, many now feature mobile homes and glamping accommodations. There is a range of activities you can enjoy in and around the campsites to make your holiday more memorable. You’ll find campsites by lakes and rivers, by the sea, in forests, on the outskirts of towns and even among vineyards.

The luxury of glamping

Glamping brings a new dimension of luxury to camping. You can enjoy the comfort of a hotel room, while still being in close contact with nature. These accommodations are available as part of a campsite, a standalone resort or a section of another accommodation provider. While there’s no formal glamping rating system, minimum standards apply: clean sanitation facilities, running water and waste sorting.
