Small-scale campsites in Albania

Albania is a small and relatively unspoilt holiday destination by the Adriatic and Ionic Seas. In terms of popularity, the country is behind countries such as Greece and Croatia, which means it has yet to be discovered by mass tourism. Despite that, you will find a vast range of campsites, including many small-scale campsites. If you are looking for rest and relaxation, you will find it at a campsite located by a lake, pine forest or green valley – surrounded by the many mountains that adorn the country.

One of the most beautiful destinations in Europe

When talking about natural beauty, countries like Scotland, Norway and Switzerland usually come to mind. But Albania is certainly not inferior in terms of its countryside. The country is still unknown among the wider public, meaning you can enjoy this beauty in peace and quiet. Furthermore, the prices here are a lot lower than in the popular countries.

Mini campsites in Albania

With its vast coastline, varied nature reserves and many mountains, Albania is a Valhalla for nature lovers and campers seeking peace and quiet. And due to its small size – roughly two thirds the size of the Netherlands – there are various mini campsites that can serve as starting points to visit a large part of the country. Mini campsites are often close to the sea or one of the lakes that adorn this country. For example, by Lake Ohrid, surrounded by mountains, forests and green valleys. This means that you often have stunning views of the surroundings from your pitch. 

Eastern and Western influences

Albania has a rich history which has been influenced by both Eastern as well as Western cultures. You will find remains from Roman times, Ottoman architecture and beautiful mosques and churches. You can easily get acquainted with this wealth of culture from your campsite. For example, visit historic cities such as the capital of Tirana and Gjirokastër and Berat, both on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Discover the authentic hinterland

Despite the fact that Albania is relatively undiscovered, there are some places on the coast where tourism has developed strongly in recent years. For example, new hotels are being added at a rapid pace in Durrës and Vlorë and the beaches there are full in the summer. You will usually be able to avoid the crowds at a mini campsite in the hinterland. Here, you experience the hospitality, beauty and authenticity of Albania at its best.
