As camping tourism is getting more and more popular, specialized tour operators in the European Union are interested in organizing round trips for campers and caravans through the Balkans. This is also a good opportunity for Montenegro to improve its existing campsites and establish new ones, not only on the Adriatic Coast but also in […]

ALBANIA BY CAMPER
Apart from Montenegro, there is another country in the Balkans that is very interesting and attractive for adventurous camper tourists: Albania. During the last decade, many good camping sites have been opened in all parts of Albania. Parking lots or camper sites in front of hotels, restaurants or gas stations are another possibility. But maybe […]
MONTENEGRO BY CAMPER
So far, camper tourism has not been on the priority list of Montenegro’s tourism development. Mainly due to the lack of good campgrounds in Montenegro, many camper tourists just pass along the Montenegrin and Albanian coast on their way to Greece. But things are gradually changing. More and more camper fans decide to spend some […]
ALONG THE COAST OF SOUTH ALBANIA
Traveling by car along the Albanian coast is an amazing experience. Many new tourist resorts are rising from the Adriatic Sea: in towns like Velipoja, Shengjin, Dürres and Vlora, hundreds of new apartment buildings and hotels are under construction. Infrastructure is developed in the form of palm-lined promenades, wide boulevards and sunny squares with pretty […]
BULGARIA BY CAMPER: MELNIK AND THE ROZHEN MONASTERY

For us, […]
ALBANIA: LAKE SHKODRA RESORT – A PLACE TO BE
At just an hour’s drive from Podgorica we found a peaceful oasis on the shores of Skadar Lake: Lake Shkodra Resort, a perfect place to spend a weekend with our camper. In Montenegro it is very difficult to find a suitable campsite, in particular during the summer season, but on the other side of the […]
CAMPER TOURISM – A MISSED CHANCE FOR MONTENEGRO?
Traveling from Montenegro to Holland these days, I have seen HUNDREDS of mobile homes, i.e. campers and caravans on the highways in Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Germany heading southwards, to the sunny countries around the Mediterranean. Many „pensionados“ from the northern part of Europe, age 60+, spend the winter – or at least a part […]
DISCOVER KELMEND VALLEY IN ALBANIA
The valley of Kelmend is situated in Northern Albania and when you live in Montenegro, this magnificent region is really next-door! However, the condition of the 65 km long macadam road from Hani i Hotit to Vermosh at the end of the valley requires a good 4WD and a travel time of several hours. We […]
