For exploring the beautiful
Goriška Brda wine region, choose a
compact campervan rather than a large motorhome. The
Mercedes V Marco Polo and
Ford Transit Nugget Plus can easily navigate the narrow vineyard villages and winding hillside roads where larger motorhomes quickly become impractical. Book your
campervan rental in Ljubljana with Campervan, request a complete vehicle orientation at pickup, and make sure 24/7 roadside assistance is included in your rental agreement.
Before booking, check these additional costs:
- Vehicle preparation: the standard preparation fee is approximately €95.
- Security deposit: typically €1,500 for campervan rentals.
- Cleaning: interior cleaning usually costs €30–50, while exterior cleaning ranges from €40–100.
- Mileage allowance: most rentals include 300 km per day; additional kilometres are typically charged at €0.25/km.
Expert tip: Before signing your rental agreement, confirm that the daily mileage allowance matches your travel plans. Exploring Goriška Brda usually requires only 150–200 km per day, but if you also plan to visit the Vipava Valley or the Soča Valley, you’ll reach the limit much faster.
Camp Brda in Podsabotin is open year-round and offers 12 fully serviced pitches with electricity, water and drainage connections. Prices for two people with electricity are available directly from the campsite, while the tourist tax is charged separately. Guests with the Avtokampi Card can benefit from seasonal discounts. If you’re travelling during popular events such as the St. Martin’s wine festival or New Year’s celebrations, reserve your pitch well in advance.
Approach the campsite from the Solkan direction whenever possible. GPS navigation occasionally directs campervans onto narrow agricultural gravel roads that are unsuitable even for compact campervans. Before your arrival, contact the campsite to confirm the recommended route and road width.
The ideal rental duration for Goriška Brda is
3–5 days. This gives you enough time to cycle through the vineyards, enjoy two or three wine tastings, and slowly discover charming villages such as Šmartno, Dobrovo and Vipolže.

How to rent a campervan in Ljubljana
Booking with Campervan is simple and straightforward. Select your travel dates on our website, choose your preferred campervan model, and receive your personalised quotation. When collecting your vehicle in Ljubljana, you’ll need a valid driving licence and the required payment card for the security deposit. Weekend rentals may have different pickup and return times than weekly rentals, so always confirm the schedule before your trip.
During the handover, ask for a complete demonstration of the heating system, hot water, gas supply, refrigerator and toilet. This is far more than a formality—it ensures you’ll be comfortable and confident, especially when camping in colder weather or remote locations.

Best time to visit Goriška Brda
The shoulder season—particularly September, October and November—is the perfect time to visit Goriška Brda. You’ll enjoy the famous St. Martin’s wine celebrations, excellent wine tastings and significantly fewer tourists than during summer. Camp Brda also hosts festive December events, including a decorated campervan competition and a New Year’s Eve dinner. Summer is beautiful but considerably hotter and busier.
Where to park a campervan in Goriška Brda
Camp Brda in Podsabotin is the only fully serviced campsite in the heart of the Goriška Brda wine region. If you need secure parking before or after your rental, the monitored
Adria Park in Miren offers video surveillance and safe long-term parking. Free parking is available in some villages, but without utility connections and often with time restrictions. Never park on agricultural access roads or private land without permission.
Why a compact campervan is the best choice for Goriška Brda
Many first-time travellers assume that a larger motorhome automatically means greater comfort. In Goriška Brda, the opposite is true. Narrow vineyard roads, tight village parking spaces and small rural access roads simply aren’t designed for vehicles longer than six metres. A compact campervan such as the Nugget Plus fits where larger motorhomes cannot, allowing you to park beside vineyards rather than in oversized parking areas far from the attractions.
The traditional advice to “choose the biggest motorhome possible” works well for large holiday camps with wide roads and spacious pitches. Goriška Brda is different—it rewards flexibility, compact dimensions and easy manoeuvrability.
