Camping in Winter? The Best Place Would Be - Directly Below the Ski Slope!
Do you love the winter weather and cannot imagine at least one holiday in the mountains? Then here is an interesting and luxurious tip how to make the mountains an even more pleasant experience! Feel free to experiment and replace a mountain hotel for a caravan camp site. Not only you can take all your things with you, but you will experience a stunning adventure!
Mountains in the car
Do you long for an adventure associated with luxury either with a partner or with the whole family? It is caravan camping in winter that may be a great inspiration for you. If you set off to Czech mountains you do not need to worry either; all our campsites have the same facilities as elsewhere in Europe. You will find here showers, toilets, washrooms, lounges, kitchenettes, laundries, drying rooms as well as electrical connections. Some places even offer a sauna. A change of a butane gas canister is either possible locally or in the immediate vicinity of the camp.
The first Czech winter campsite
The first "winter campsite" in Bohemia, boasting of great facilities was opened twenty years ago in Deštná in the Orlické Mountains. Nowadays, the number of all-year camping sites keeps on growing.

The South Tyrol
The campsite Toblacher See is located in the Dolomites and is a popular venue for camping.

Norway
Norway is very popular for free-style camping, but it is necessary to observe the set rules associated with waste management and a number of days spent in one place. If you are afraid of wild animals, try Nordkapp Camping.
Your own or borrowed
It is clear that not everyone has a luxurious motorhome or caravan, therefore it is good to find out which rental provider offers the best cars for your winter adventures. You need to choose a caravan, which is equipped also for winter-time camping and which has a double floor and heating. If you are planning to camp outside of campsites, consider solar panels or greater-capacity, or ancillary batteries or otherwise resolve a possible problem with electricity.
Camping outside the campsite
If you do not want to pay for campsite facilities, enjoy luxurious sites below the ski slopes, available either free of charge, or for a small fee. More on www.skiing-parking-camping.cz
What to remember
What else than winter tires and chains, a must-have equipment in the mountains. Popularity of luxurious winter camping is growing - that is why it is a good idea to book your caravan place in advance!
