Among campsites by rivers and lakes,
campsites with direct access to the water and well-developed infrastructure for water activities have consistently ranked highly in the Avtokampi.si voting.
Camping Šobec is a true giant: more than 500 pitches, three swimming pools, tennis courts and children’s entertainment. It is ideal for travellers who want a campsite with everything in one place rather than a quiet, secluded experience.
Eco Camping Koren by the Soča River follows sustainable tourism principles and offers e-bike rental and locally produced food.
Eco-friendly campsites attract active travellers throughout the season, not only during summer.
Garden Village Bled is at the other end of the comfort scale: treehouses overlooking Bled, private pools and a restaurant serving local cuisine. The price reflects the experience, but the stay is truly unique.
How We Selected the Campsites: Method and Trust Signals
Our selection is based on three sources that together provide a reliable picture:
- Avtokampi.si visitor votes (2025): Slovenia’s largest campsite database collects votes across categories such as large campsites, smaller campsites, glamping and motorhome stops. Šobec, Menina and Špik ranked among the leaders in their respective categories.
- User reviews on Camping: An independent European platform with user reviews covering Eco Camping Koren, Camp Menina and others.
- Official classification: Slovenian campsites are classified using a 1–5 star system; most campsites in this guide fall within the 3–5 star range.
Additional selection criteria included motorhome accessibility (entrance width and hookups), eco-friendly practices, variety of activities and seasonal opening periods.
In 2025, Slovenian campsites recorded 2.5 million overnight stays, showing that camping in Slovenia is not just a niche but one of the most important segments of domestic tourism.
Expert tip: Check reviews on both Avtokampi.si and camping.info, as their reviewer bases differ. A campsite that performs exceptionally well on one platform may receive lower ratings on the other because it attracts a different type of guest.
How to Choose the Right Campsite for Your Holiday
Key Criteria
- Location and access to activities: A campsite by the Soča River is ideal for rafting, while a campsite near Bled is great for cycling and boating. Check how long it takes to reach the main attractions.
- Type of accommodation: A pitch for a tent or motorhome, mobile home, bungalow or glamping unit? Prices can vary significantly between accommodation types.
- Sanitary facilities: The number of sanitary blocks relative to the campsite’s capacity is one of the most important indicators of quality. Old or poorly maintained sanitary facilities are among the most common complaints.
- Electricity and water hookups: For motorhomes, check the available amperage (10 A or 16 A), whether there is a chemical toilet disposal point and access to drinking water.
- Access for larger vehicles: Some mountain campsites have narrow entrances or steep access roads. Check this before booking.
- Pets: Most campsites allow dogs, but conditions vary, including leash requirements, additional fees and restricted areas.
- Wi-Fi and security: Wi-Fi quality at campsites can often be limited; if you plan to work remotely, check availability in advance.
- Children’s facilities: Playgrounds, entertainment, shallow pools and safe access to the water are important for families with young children.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- When does the season start and end?
- What are the cancellation terms?
- Is there a minimum or maximum length of stay?
- Are there any restrictions on vehicle length or height?
- Is the pitch shaded or exposed to the sun?
Red Flags
- Poor or poorly maintained sanitary facilities mentioned in reviews.
- A riverside campsite without clear information about flood risk.
- No marked pitches or no option to reserve a specific pitch in advance.
- Limited access for vehicles over 6 metres long without a clear warning on the website.
Practical Tips for Motorhome and Campervan Travellers
Check Before You Leave
- Measure your vehicle’s height and length and compare them with the campsite’s restrictions.
- Check electricity availability (CEE 17 connection, 10 A or 16 A) and chemical toilet disposal facilities.
- Check the width of access roads, especially at mountain campsites such as Camp Špik, Camp Korita and Camp Nadiža Podbela.
- Check whether the campsite requires advance booking for motorhome pitches or accepts arrivals without a reservation.
Motorhome Stop or Campsite?
Motorhome stops (PZA) are suitable for one or two nights when you do not need extensive facilities or comfort. For longer stays, a proper campsite with electricity, water and sanitary facilities is a much better option. PZA Planica is an excellent base for exploring Triglav National Park, but it does not have sanitary facilities comparable to those of a full-service campsite.
Pre-Departure Checklist
- Full fresh-water tank and empty waste-water tank.
- Electrical adapter (CEE 17 to Schuko and vice versa).
- Spare fuses and basic tools.
- Printed or downloaded campsite map with GPS coordinates for the entrance.
- Printed booking confirmation (some campsites have limited mobile signal near the entrance).
Expert tip: When renting a motorhome from Campervan, check whether the vehicle includes an electrical adapter and a chemical toilet kit. Missing equipment can cost twice as much when you need to buy it at a campsite.
Seasonality, Prices and Booking Tips
The Slovenian camping season has three distinct phases. June, July and August are the peak season: prices are highest and available pitches are limited. May and September are ideal for travellers looking for peace and lower prices while still enjoying Slovenia’s natural attractions. Outside the main season (October–April), most campsites close, with some year-round exceptions such as Terme 3000.
Prices are indicative and vary between campsites; always check current prices directly with the individual campsite.
How to Save Money
- Book at least 2–3 months before the high season for popular campsites such as Šobec, Camping Bled and Garden Village Bled.
- The Avtokampi.si card provides discounts at partner campsites throughout Slovenia.
- Weekdays are often 10–20% cheaper than weekends, even during the peak season.
- Campsites in Bela Krajina and Prekmurje are generally cheaper than those in Gorenjska and Primorska.
Expert tip: May and September are the secret of experienced campers. The weather is often just as good as in July, while you don’t need to search for an available campsite a week in advance.
Quick Regional Guide: Which Region Is Right for You?
- Gorenjska (Bled, Bohinj, Kranjska Gora): Lakes, mountains and cycling. Campsites: Šobec, Camping Bled, Camp Bohinj, Camp Špik, Garden Village Bled. Season: April–October. Warning: crowds around Bled can be significant in July and August.
- Soča Valley (Kobarid, Bovec, Tolmin): Soča River, rafting, canyoning and hiking. Campsites: Eco Camping Koren, Camp Koren Kobarid, Camp Korita, Camp Adrenalinček. Season: April–October. The weather is warmer than in the Alps, but the river should always be treated with respect.
- Primorska (Ankaran, Vipava Valley): Sea, wine and cycling. Campsites: Camp Adria Ankaran, Camp David. Season: May–September. The Bora wind in the Vipava Valley is an important factor when pitching a tent.
- Savinjska Valley (Mozirje, Luče): Forests, rivers and active family holidays. Campsites: Camp Menina, Forest Camping Mozirje, Camp Savinja. Season: May–September.
- Bela Krajina (Metlika, Kolpa): Kolpa River, peace and glamping. Campsites: BIG BERRY Kolpa Resort, Camp Bela Krajina. Season: May–September. The Kolpa is one of the warmest rivers in Slovenia.
- Prekmurje (Radenci, Moravske Toplice): Thermal spas, flat landscapes and canoeing. Campsites: Terme 3000, Kanu Camp Radenci. Season: May–September, with Terme 3000 open all year.
- Dolenjska (Dolenjske Toplice): Thermal spas, peace and forests. Campsite: Camp Polje near Dolenjske Toplice. Season: May–September.
Campsites in the Slovenian Alps are among the most popular in the country’s mountain region, but Slovenia’s diverse landscape means that you can combine mountains, rivers and the sea in a single week — something that is relatively rare in Europe.
How to Reach a Campsite Without a Car or Motorhome
Most popular campsites are accessible by public transport, although there are some limitations.
- Bled and surrounding area: Direct Ljubljana–Bled bus connections are available, and there is a train connection to Lesce for Camping Šobec. From the station, the campsite is approximately a 10–15-minute walk.
- Bohinj: Take the train to Bohinjska Bistrica and then a bus to the lake. Camp Danica and Camp Bohinj are accessible on foot.
- Kobarid and Bovec: Buses operate from Nova Gorica or Tolmin, but services are relatively infrequent. For Eco Camping Koren, your own transport or a bicycle is recommended.
- Ankaran: Take a bus from Koper to Ankaran and then walk a short distance to Camp Adria.
- Savinjska Valley: Take a bus to Mozirje or Luče, followed by a walk or bike ride to the campsite.
Cycling is a realistic option for campsites in Gorenjska and the Savinjska Valley, where cycling routes are well developed. Camping Šobec, Camp Danica and Forest Camping Mozirje are all accessible by cycling routes. In the Soča Valley and Bela Krajina, having your own transport is practically essential because public transport does not cover all destinations.
Campsites that are accessible by train or bus often highlight this information on their websites, so check before booking.
My Opinion: What Really Matters When Choosing a Campsite
Campsite lists are useful, but they often overlook one important factor: the difference between a good and an excellent campsite is not the swimming pool or Wi-Fi signal. It is how the campsite treats its guests when something goes wrong — a changed pitch, damaged equipment or unexpected crowds.
Campsites that consistently rank at the top of the Avtokampi.si votes are not there simply because they have the best photographs. They are there because their sanitary facilities are well maintained at 7 a.m., because staff know which pitches are shaded in the afternoon, and because they have clear rules for motorhomes and actually enforce them.
For those travelling by motorhome, my advice is simple: don’t choose a campsite based solely on photographs. Call and ask about the length of your vehicle, the slope of the pitches and how close the electricity connection is. Smaller campsites often have outdated websites but excellent infrastructure that you only discover after making a phone call.
Planning a road trip around Slovenian campsites is much easier when you have a vehicle that follows you rather than having to return to it. That is the difference between simply camping and truly travelling.
Campervan: The Best Way to Visit the Best Campsites in Slovenia
The campsites in this guide are spread across Slovenia, from Bled to the Kolpa River. Visiting them by car means making compromises between comfort and logistics. With a rental campervan from Ljubljana, every campsite can become part of a single road trip.
Campervan offers Mercedes V Marco Polo and Ford Transit Nugget Plus campervan rentals equipped with everything you need: a kitchen, fixed toilet, sleeping areas and 24/7 roadside assistance. Pick-up is available in Ljubljana, making it an ideal starting point for Gorenjska, the Soča Valley or the Slovenian coast. There is no need to book a hotel between campsites or move your equipment from the car into a tent.
For
summer campervan rental, dates in July and August fill up quickly. Check availability and make your reservation through
Campervan before the best dates are gone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which campsite in Slovenia is best for families with young children?
Camping Šobec near Bled is one of the most frequently recommended campsites for families. It has swimming pools, playgrounds, entertainment and good sanitary facilities. Camp Danica near Bohinjska Bistrica and Forest Camping Mozirje are good alternatives for a more peaceful environment.
Which campsites are suitable for motorhomes over 7 metres long?
Camp Adria in Ankaran, Terme 3000 and PZA Planica have infrastructure suitable for larger vehicles. Before booking, always check the entrance width and pitch gradients at smaller mountain campsites.
When is the best time for camping in Slovenia?
June and September are ideal months: the weather is pleasant, campsites are open and prices are lower than in July and August. Mountain campsites generally open in June and close in September, while coastal and riverside campsites often open as early as April.
Is it possible to camp in Slovenia without your own car?
Yes, but with some limitations. Campsites around Bled, Bohinj and Ankaran can be reached by bus or train. For the Soča Valley, Bela Krajina and Prekmurje, having your own transport or renting a campervan is practically essential.
How much does a pitch at a Slovenian campsite cost?
In the low season (May and September), expect approximately €15–25 per night for two people with a car. In the high season (July and August), prices are typically around €30–50 per night. Glamping units range from approximately €90 to €250 per night, depending on the location and accommodation type.
What is a PZA and how is it different from a campsite?
A PZA (motorhome stop) is a designated parking area with basic motorhome hookups, usually without full sanitary blocks or entertainment facilities. It is suitable for one or two nights. For longer stays, a fully equipped campsite is a much better option.
