Camping in Slovenia
If you choose to go camping in Slovenia, you’ll never be short of things to do. Enjoy hiking, mountain climbing, skiing, cycling, canoeing, sailing, fishing, hunting, golfing, horse riding, and much more!
Did you know that Slovenia is also a true wine country? There are three main wine regions: Primorska, Posavska, and Podravska. All three areas offer wonderful camping opportunities, allowing you to sample local wines, such as the Renski Rizling, at your leisure. These pair perfectly with traditional Potica—a delicious rolled cake with various fillings.
Outside the wine regions, you can also camp in the Julian Alps, close to Triglav National Park. You’ll be near the city of Bled, a fantastic place to explore. Enjoy a round of golf, visit a casino, or set out on stunning mountain hikes, especially from Bohinj. Lake Bohinj is also located here, perfect for all kinds of water sports, and you’ll find plenty of campsites in the area.

Campsites in Slovenia on the Rise
Campsites in Slovenia are becoming increasingly popular, especially as the country is now a full member of the EU and attracts tourists looking for affordable alternatives to expensive Western European destinations. If you like Austria, you’re sure to appreciate Slovenia—not only for its similar landscapes and shared mountain ranges in the north, but also for the cultural influences that remain visible in traditions and Slovenian cuisine. When staying at a campsite in Slovenia, be sure to try Prekmurska gibanica, Slovenia’s own version of apple strudel.
Types of Campsites in Slovenia
Camping is very popular in Slovenia, and there are plenty of sites to choose from, often set in the country’s most beautiful regions. Everyone has a different idea of what makes the perfect campsite: some prefer a small, nature-focused site, while others look for larger grounds with swimming pools and playgrounds for children. Campsites in Slovenia are as diverse as the country itself, ranging from coastal campsites with sea views to city campsites within cycling distance of the capital, Ljubljana.
For example, you’ll find small campsites in Slovenia, perfect for peace and relaxation, often called nature campsites because of their beautiful surroundings.
There are also many campsites by the sea in Slovenia, where you can enjoy the country’s coastline. These are ideal for families and often feature swimming pools to keep children entertained.
Choosing a Campsite with an English-Speaking Owner
When camping in Slovenia, you may want to choose a campsite with an English-speaking owner. This offers several benefits, such as overcoming potential language barriers, making it easier for your children to make friends, and helping adults to connect with fellow campers. The campsite manager can also provide you with helpful local tips to make the most of your stay.
The Outdoor Experience at a Campsite in Slovenia
For most campers, the main attraction is the sense of being outdoors that comes with a holiday on a campsite. Even if the weather isn’t perfect, you’ll find yourself sitting outside under a canopy, enjoying the fresh air. There’s always something to do on-site, and plenty to see. Most campsites in Slovenia have playgrounds, swimming pools, and lots of new friends for children to meet—so you might not see them much during the day! For many parents, a real holiday starts when the kids are having a great time.
