Explore the best Bled campsites in 2026. Book in time for top locations and enjoy nature by the lake. For the 2026 season, three choices stand out. If you are bringing a motorhome, Camping Bled by the lake is the most convenient option logistically, with well-organised and proven access to motorhome pitches. Families with children will be happiest at River Camping Bled because of its swimming pool and cycling track. If waking up to a view of the water is your priority, choose Camping Bled for its direct lakeside location.
Camping around Bled in 2026 comes with one issue worth taking seriously:
Bled Summer Festival runs from 24 June to 13 September 2026, which also happens to be the busiest period for all camps around the lake.
Expert tip: If you want a pitch at one of the popular camps between July and August, book at least six to eight weeks in advance. Otherwise, you may only have less attractive pitches on the outskirts of the campsite available.
- Motorhomes: Camping Bled (organised pitches, close to the lake)
- Families: River Camping Bled (pool, children’s playground, cycling track)
- Lakeside: Camping Bled (direct access to the beach and promenade)
- Glamping: Glamping Ribno or Alp Glamping Village
Key findings
For the 2026 season, the rule is simple: if you book a campsite around Bled less than six weeks before visiting in July or August, you risk having only a limited choice of pitches — or no availability at all.

JetCamp listing |
Camping Bled remains the only campsite on the list with direct access to the water and clearly organised pitch categories, making it suitable for guests who do not want to waste time travelling to the beach. River Camping Bled wins when it comes to family facilities, but it is approximately two kilometres from the lake. Camping Šobec is a sensible choice if Bled is mainly your starting point for hikes in the Julian Alps rather than the main destination of your holiday.
We considered four factors when making this selection: proximity to the lake or town centre, actual suitability for motorhomes (road width and pitch size), published 2026 rates and, where possible, service quality based on the list of campsites in the Municipality of Bled, which includes approximately 13 registered locations.
Detailed profiles of the main campsites for the 2026 season
Camping Bled: the classic lakeside campsite
Camping Bled operates from 29 March to 2 November and offers three pitch categories: standard, premium and premium relax, of which there is only one. According to the official Sava Hotels presentation, there are 244 standard pitches and 19 premium pitches, making it one of the larger campsites in Bled.
Anyone choosing Camping Bled for its location gets exactly that: the campsite is directly on the lake, while the promenade and famous viewpoints are just a few minutes’ walk away. The on-site restaurant and boat rental make it easier to spend the day without the car. The campsite also has an evening traffic restriction on its internal roads, which affects when you can drive your motorhome to your pitch, so it is sensible to coordinate your arrival with reception opening and check-in times.
- Season opening: 29 March; closing: 2 November
- Three pitch categories, from standard to premium relax
- Restaurant and boat rental on site
- Night-time driving restriction within the campsite
River Camping Bled: a newer campsite for active families
River Camping Bled is located beside the Sava River, approximately two kilometres from the lake, and targets guests looking for an active holiday without leaving the campsite. The swimming pool, children’s playground and cycling track are the main reasons why
Camping lists it among the popular family choices in the Gorenjska region.
The pitches are larger than those at many older campsites in the region, making manoeuvring a motorhome easier and providing enough space for additional equipment such as bicycles or kayaks. The official 2026 price list divides the season into four categories: low, medium, high and top, with the price for an adult ranging from €13 to €23 per night depending on the dates. Pets are allowed for an additional €7 per night.
- Swimming pool and cycling track on site
- Approximately 2 km from the lake
- Adult price €13–23 per night, depending on the season
- Dog: €7 per night
Garden Village Bled: a resort-style experience with mobile units
Garden Village Bled targets guests looking for the comfort of a mobile home or glamping unit rather than traditional camping with a tent or motorhome. The infrastructure is designed like a small resort, with green spaces and a restaurant. It is not the first choice for motorhome owners because there are few traditional large pitches with hookups.
Glamping Ribno: luxury near Bled
Glamping Ribno is located in the village of Ribno, a few kilometres from Bled, and offers glamping tents with private bathrooms. This is accommodation where you do not need a motorhome, as guests arrive by car and stay in an already equipped unit. It is suitable for couples who want to enjoy nature without sacrificing comfort.
Camping Šobec: a base for exploring the Julian Alps
Camping Šobec is a traditional campsite in the region, which Slovenia.info ranks among the better choices for guests planning trips deeper into the Alpine region. The pitches are spacious and suitable for motorhomes, while the campsite works well as a base rather than the main destination of your stay.
Camping Radovljica: a budget option nearby
Camping Radovljica is a smaller, more affordable alternative a few kilometres from Bled, close to the town of Radovljica. It is suitable for guests who do not need to be directly next to the lake and would rather save money on their pitch.
Other campsites in the wider area
The area around Bled and Bohinj offers many other options, each with its own niche. Kamp Bled (also known as Kamp Zaka) is a smaller lakeside location with a more relaxed atmosphere. ECO River Camp focuses on natural, minimalist camping by the water. Pension & Glamping Pibernik and Alp Glamping Village offer glamping units in the hilly hinterland, while Camping Green Park Mišače is a smaller, family-run campsite.
Robinson River Camp and Camping Sobec (an alternative spelling of the same campsite name) target guests looking for peace and quiet by the river. Camping Perun Lipce and Camping Starshine near Bled are smaller, more boutique locations suitable for couples. Kamp Danica by Lake Bohinj is a popular alternative for those who find Bled too busy, as is Kamp Bohinj.
Those heading towards the Soča Valley should know about Kamp Koren Kobarid and Kamp Nadiža Podbela, both located by clear rivers. Camp Špik near Kranjska Gora and Kamp Korita are suitable for guests combining Bled with hiking in Triglav National Park. In the Savinja Valley you will find Kamp Menina, Kamp Savinja, Camping Kamne and Forrest Camping Mozirje, while Šenkova domačija combines rural tourism with camping.
2026 prices and seasonality: when prices really increase
Campsite prices around Bled in 2026 are divided into four seasonal categories: low, medium, high and top season, with top season coinciding with July, August and part of June. River Camping Bled has published this structure particularly clearly: the price for an adult ranges from €13 to €23 per night, while a pitch in Zone A reaches €26 per night during top season.
| Season |
Approximate period |
Adult price (River Camping Bled) |
| Low season |
Early spring, late autumn |
€13 |
| Medium season |
May, June (partly), September |
around €17–19 |
| High season |
Late June, early July |
around €20 |
| Top season |
July, August |
€23 |
Bled Summer Festival 2026 runs from 24 June to 13 September, effectively covering the entire top season. Organisers are introducing green events this year, with reusable cups and biodegradable packaging. This does not affect pitch prices, but it is another indication that the area around the lake will be busy every weekend during this period.
You can save money with the
Avtokampi Card, which offers a 10–15% discount on certain dates, but you need to order the card in advance and declare its use when checking into the campsite. Discounts generally do not apply to glamping units or mobile homes during peak season.
- Low and medium season: the most affordable periods for longer stays
- Top season (July–August): expect full capacity without an advance reservation
- Discounts: check the card’s conditions before arrival, not at check-in
How to choose the right campsite: checklist before booking
Before confirming your reservation, check five things that campsite photos never show clearly.
- Pitch size relative to your vehicle. Motorhomes over 7 metres require XL-category pitches, which are available at only some campsites, including Camping Bled and River Camping Bled.
- Electricity and water hookups. Check whether the available electrical capacity is sufficient for air conditioning or a refrigerator, especially during top season when the network is under greater load.
- Grey and black water disposal. Not every campsite has a dumping station directly next to the pitch, which can make the arrival process longer.
- Pet policy. River Camping Bled allows dogs for an additional fee, while some smaller campsites restrict pets to certain areas.
- Cancellation conditions during top season. In July and August, many campsites do not refund deposits if you cancel less than 14 days before arrival.
Before calling reception, prepare a few questions: what is the maximum vehicle length for your pitch, is grey-water drainage available directly at the pitch, and can you reserve a specific pitch rather than just a category?
Expert tip: If you are travelling in a motorhome over 6.5 metres long, always ask for the exact pitch number rather than just the category. In some campsites, “motorhome pitch” only means that the entrance is wide enough, not that the pitch itself is long enough for your vehicle.
For couples looking for peace and quiet, Camping Perun Lipce or Glamping Ribno may be a better choice than a large family campsite during peak season. For families with small children, River Camping Bled remains the top choice because of its swimming pool and playground. For larger motorhomes, check the availability of XL pitches at Camping Bled before booking your dates.
What you need to know if you are bringing a motorhome
The roads around Lake Bled can be narrow in places, particularly sections close to the town centre and some smaller roads leading towards campsites in Bohinj and the Soča Valley. Before driving, check your vehicle’s length and width against restrictions on access roads, as some motorway exits lead through narrow village streets.
Your motorhome packing list should include an extension cable, an adapter for Slovenian electrical sockets, a grey-water drainage hose and a sufficiently long water hose, as hookup points on pitches can sometimes be several metres away from where the vehicle actually stands.
When arriving at the campsite, plan to check in before the evening traffic restriction, which is in place at Camping Bled and similar locations. If you arrive too late, you may have to wait until morning before driving your vehicle to the pitch. The parking area in front of reception is intended for such situations.
- Check the width of the roads on the final approach to the campsite
- Bring an electrical adapter and a sufficiently long grey-water hose
- Coordinate your arrival with check-in times and evening traffic restrictions
Expert tip: Arrive at the campsite by early afternoon. During high season, reception staff often process arrivals in order, and guests arriving late in the evening may be assigned the last and usually least attractive pitch.
Additional costs that are not obvious from the price list
The basic pitch or accommodation price at campsites around Bled almost never includes all the costs you will see on your final bill. Tourist tax is charged separately per person per night and is not included in the pitch price at either River Camping Bled or Camping Bled.
Some campsites require a deposit at check-in, which is returned at check-out if the equipment and facilities on the pitch are undamaged. The amount varies, so check it when booking rather than only after arriving.
Parking an additional vehicle, such as a passenger car next to a motorhome, is charged separately at many campsites, as are visits by day guests who are not registered at the campsite. Pets, as mentioned above for River Camping Bled, also incur their own daily surcharge.
Before booking, also check whether Wi-Fi is included, as some campsites charge separately for faster internet while basic access is free. The same applies to washing machines and dryers, which at many campsites operate with coins.
- Tourist tax: charged separately per person per night
- Deposit: check the amount and refund conditions when booking
- Parking an additional vehicle and visits by day guests: often charged separately
- Laundry, dryer and faster Wi-Fi: often coin-operated or subject to an additional fee
A brief personal perspective: what guests most often overlook
A family of four that rented our Ford Nugget Plus for a week in the Gorenjska region last year almost ended up without a pitch because they had booked a general “motorhome” category without checking the exact pitch length. The vehicle was half a metre too long for the assigned pitch, and the solution was to move to a neighbouring, more expensive pitch just before arrival.
Guests most often overlook precisely this difference between a pitch category and its actual dimensions. We recommend calling the campsite before booking and asking for the exact measurements rather than relying on a general category. A rental provider who knows the dimensions of their vehicles and can advise which pitch actually fits your motorhome can save you a lot of unpleasant surprises on arrival.
A motorhome as a practical way to explore Bled’s campsites
Many visitors consider whether to camp with a tent, stay in a glamping unit or rent a campervan. A motorhome solves some of the logistical challenges that can make tent camping more difficult: you do not need public transport to get to a shop or restaurant, you do not have to carry equipment between the car park and your pitch, and you have your own kitchen and toilet regardless of which campsite you choose that day.
For the roads around Bled, including the narrow sections leading towards smaller campsites in Bohinj or the Soča Valley, a compact model such as the
Mercedes V Marco Polo or
Ford Transit Nugget Plus has proven to be a practical choice. Both are compact enough for village roads while still offering enough space for four people, a kitchen and a built-in toilet. Vehicle pickup is available in Ljubljana, making Bled only about an hour’s drive away.
Before booking a campsite, always check the pitch length and available hookups, as dimensions vary between campsites. The detailed overview of
models and prices for the 2026 season can help you choose a vehicle that fits both the roads and the pitch before confirming your dates.
