Everything you need to know about camping in Crimea

The Crimean peninsula is traditionally associated with relaxing on the beach in organized institutions. But this stereotype can be broken if you use campsites. You just need to know all the nuances and subtleties of this area in order to eliminate errors.

A trip to a campsite in the Crimea is quite attractive. The main thing is to find out all the details in advance in order to get around the repaired sections of the route and the associated traffic jams. A careful study of the situation shows that the Crimean auto campsites have not yet reached the level that is typical for European countries. The peninsula is replete with reserves, so you should not think that it is enough to drive away to the car, and calm down on this.

Before setting up a campground or joining an already used parking lot, it is necessary to check a specific area. If he was chosen by scolopendra, karakurt or other animals, tourists are at great risk. Camping on wild beaches is also in question.

The Crimean peninsula is characterized by windy weather. Do not save on the installation of additional storm guy wires. If it is not possible to fix the tent according to all the rules, the main guy lines should be pressed with stones.

Water supply in the Crimea is another painful problem. It is difficult to find springs in the mountains, and sometimes it takes a long time to search for them. Therefore, it makes sense to preload the car with an additional supply of water. This is better and more reliable than looking for her at a critical moment or asking locals. "Savages" and visitors to organized campsites can buy products in almost all villages and villages, because trade is well developed.

Diversify the diet with fishing, nuts and hazel. Eat only well-known plants. At the slightest doubt, it is better to refuse such a thought. It must be remembered that the bonfire in the Crimea is strictly regulated. They are forbidden to kindle both in reserves and in relict forests.

Therefore, you should definitely stock up on a gas burner. One such field outbreak will make it possible to cook food, boil water for two or three tourists. As for latrines, on wild beaches they usually stand out clearly. You must find out from those travelers who have already been there before.

Violators of this rule may face conflicts. And it’s worth thinking about your next return to the same shores. Comfortable "wild" parking attracts the attention of most tourists. And this means that secluded leisure is possible only at remote sites. Having spent time and gasoline on their search, tourists will definitely not regret their decision.

You can go to the Crimea for a wild vacation, regardless of the season. In summer, tourists swim not only in the sea, but also in fresh water. However, bays and bays are almost empty during the summer months. The bulk of travelers tend to relax on equipped sites. In the autumn months, it's time to pick mushrooms and berries. The best mushroom plots are the surroundings of Demerdzhi, Bakhchisarai. But keep in mind that mushrooms and berries are not allowed everywhere. Poisonous vegetation is also found in Crimea.

In winter, Crimean campsites can be used as a base for trips to ski resorts. And in the spring, people often fish on the Arabat Spit, on Perekop or in Balaklava Bay.

The idea of ​​standing in the Crimea savages with a tent is quite attractive to many people. With a car, you can get to almost anywhere in the peninsula. There is no attachment to resort areas. Camping expenses are on average less than even in budget hotels or the private sector. Only tourists themselves determine the life time at a particular place, and if they don’t like something, you can always get on the road and move somewhere else.

But it is important to understand that there are serious drawbacks to camping. All trip planning and organization (as opposed to travel options) rests with the tourists themselves. You have to beware of stray dogs, dangerous snakes, spiders and some insects. Tourists staying at campsites should boil all the water before drinking.

Free stop allows you to enjoy the free regime of the day. Tourists who choose campsites can choose their own entertainment. Since these places are not overloaded with other travelers, the air will be cleaner than at mass resorts. This allows you to get additional health benefits.

To relax on the wild shore, which is usually poorly equipped, you will have to take a tent with you. In addition to her, you will need:

• warm outerwear;
• sleeping bags;
• durable hiking shoes;
• hats to protect from rain, wind and sun;
• sunscreens;
• electric lights;
• repellents;
• standard tourist first-aid kits.

You can not ignore the selection of products for camping. Assortment may vary slightly, but all or almost all travelers will need:

• tea;
• sugar;
• crackers (better than home drying);
• canned foods of various types;
• coffee;
• cookies or gingerbread;
• containers with clean water;
• cereals (oatmeal and buckwheat as the easiest to prepare and tasty options).

On the road and in the resorts themselves, various troubles can happen. Therefore, you should definitely have a passport and a health insurance policy with you. They will help you get emergency assistance in an emergency.

When collecting, you need to remember that you need to carry the backpack on yourself. It is very difficult to do this on hot days, especially when climbing uphill. For beginners, there is no reason to buy very large shoulder bags. It is quite enough bags with a capacity of 50 to 70 liters.

Choosing a tent, it also makes no sense to give preference to gigantic specimens. They are uncomfortable to carry, and significantly limit the choice of places where you can get up. As for replaceable clothes, one set is quite enough. One is worn - the other is in bags or in the wash. The exception is raincoats and special raincoats, they will make leisure more comfortable. Having saved weight and volume on clothes, it is advisable to use the released reserve for hygiene items.

It is very important to prepare trash bags. Without them, collecting all the trash and litter is very complicated. It is useful to prepare a metal bucket and a shovel so that you can quickly put out the fires when leaving (leaving).

Camping sites rarely allow free entry or check-in. The fee is associated with the need to organize a full-fledged infrastructure:

• showers and toilet cabins;
• finished tents;
• access to drinking water;
• dining rooms or kitchens;
• barbecue and firewood for them;
• various entertainments.

Kapsel Camping Park should be searched near Cape Meganom, moving in the direction of the Sun Valley, in the Sudak region. The organizers of the park provided for equipping it with showers and bathrooms, drinking water. Travelers can make use of internet access. There is a cafe and a billiard room.

A good alternative to it is the Kush-Kaya camping park, located near the mountain of the same name. Tourists are available:

• well equipped kitchen;
• showers and washbasins;
• rain awnings;
• tent rental.

On the way to the Tarhankut lighthouse, near the village of Olenevka, the Atlesh campsite was located. You can only stay there for a fee. But the administration can provide three meals a day, access to the bathroom and to a separate beach. There is a special entertainment program.

It is worth taking a closer look at the Bastion camping camp, which is located 1400 m from Foros. You can live there for at least 10 days in a row, for less time they do not populate. The fee is about 4000 rubles. In exchange provide tents with two places, three meals a day. Various trips and excursions are organized, equipment is provided.

A full-fledged “wild” vacation implies nevertheless a distance from organized campsites. In Crimea, there are many quiet places where there are no people and where you can easily build a miniature camp. An intermediate option is paid parking at the campsite without a presence in it.

Choosing sites for wild leisure, it is impossible to ignore the Crimean Shanghai. This name was given to the territory northwest of the highway to Alupka (about 1 km from the road).

The reference point is the rock of Shan Kai. This peak is surrounded by pine thickets, vineyards. Attractive features of the area are a mountain lake and a number of underground keys. The shore of the lake was equipped with bonfires and places for camping. There is a stable nearby.

Between Sevastopol and Yalta is the village of Reserve, from which the landscape of the tract Figs is visible. Officially, it is called Ayyazma, but the common name is associated with extensive fig bushes. Tourists can stop in the tract in the forest, and on a lake glade, and on the seashore. But making fires in this area is prohibited.

Wild campsites are often camped in the area of ​​the village of Zelenogorye, located between Sudak and Alushta. The area around is covered with dense forests, abundantly covering mountain peaks. Due to the difficult slopes, climbs and inaccessible paths, Zelenogorye is famous for its rare solitude. The perimeter of the village is therefore very often used for campgrounds. Mostly they are defeated near the falls of Panagia.

Those who want to join the rest among nudists and in a different informal setting should stop on the eastern coast of Crimea. The site from Sudak to Feodosia and further to Koktebel is best suited for this. The so-called Fox Bay is approximately 60 km from Cape Meganom.

In the Sevastopol region, for the lovers of wild camping, the modest village of Ternovka is suitable. It opens for those arriving suddenly, when suddenly thick beech and pine forests part. Vegetation reaches the very shore of Lake Ternovsky. Arbors with benches help to make your stay more pleasant.

Camping Sunset is located in Olenevka. It will take 100 km to go from Yevpatoriya along a completely uniform track. The campsite administration carefully monitors that guests first select places to stop, and only then return and make out. The selection of a suitable point on a vast territory is not easy in itself. Experienced tourists try to get closer to the economic unit, so that you can connect to the mains.

The water in this place may seem excessively cool, especially to those who are used to swimming in the Sea of ​​Azov. Have to beware of the cornerotos. Most people staying at Sunset visit the Equator Canteen. But the quality of the food there and its cost do not compare with the offers of dining rooms on the southern coast. Who should be prepared for the fact that camping neighbors will constantly change.

Good camping Sosnovy Bor is located about 2 km from the center of the village of Peschanoe. You will have to go there by a picturesque road.

Visitors pitch tents directly under the pines. Therefore, you can enjoy both coniferous aromas and a light sea breeze at the same time. The coast is approximately 300 m from the camp. But rely on clean and clear water is not worth it. It is as muddy as on the entire line north of Sevastopol.

Nearby is the children's camp "Mandarin". In the evenings there is a disco, but strictly at 22 o'clock there is silence. Sosnovy Bor is recommended for those who are used to silence and are ready to survive a temporary lack of electricity. Nobody around will turn on the music, annoying television programs will also not bore. For food you have to go to the center of the village. Most campers just enjoy the sea and ripening watermelons.

As for the camping "Lost World", its attractive properties are associated, paradoxically, with a very bad road.She allowed to preserve the corner of nature in inviolability. But this did not stop the owners from preparing comfortable toilets and showers, conducting electricity and arranging the supply of tasty food for the guests.

The seashore is covered with pebbles of a large fraction. Because of it, entry into the water is difficult. There are a lot of gulls on the beach, because people do not scare them away with their presence. The Lost World is recommended to those in need of peace and a sense of oneness with nature. Extremely romantic are nights spent alone on the beach. You will still have to pay for additional amenities, and not so little.

Drive there only after careful preparation. It is better to take a car with a high clearance. On land from the sea often throws a lot of garbage dumped from ships (both cargo and cruise liners). The abundance of soil outcrops on the shore makes the sea very muddy. There is no drinking water here.

A good substitute would be Kapsel camping. It is located between Cape Alchak and Megan. The base has been operating since Soviet times, but in recent years it has become more comfortable and convenient. The rest has become more diverse, additional accommodation options have appeared. If you are not comfortable with a tent or a motor home, you can move into a comfortable wooden house. “Capsel” stretches for almost 2 km along the sea, the whole territory is well guarded 24/7.

The advantage of this campsite is its exceptional cleanliness. Most often it is recommended to come there with children. The administration took care of creating optimal conditions for family life. On the territory of the "Capsel" 350 tents or cars can simultaneously fit. Fans of a more comfortable life settle in wooden houses for 3-4 places or in rooms for 2-3 places like "junior suite".

The houses are equipped with only the minimum necessary furniture - beds, tables and wardrobes. Guests enjoy electricity while the amenities are located on the street. The rooms are much better equipped, there are pouffes, refrigerators, televisions, showers and toilets. Judging by the descriptions, "Capsel" is a miniature town with advanced infrastructure.

It has a well-prepared beach stretching over 200 m. The beach strip is equipped with a wide range of water attractions. The water in the sea is very clean, and diving enthusiasts will be delighted with it. There is an outdoor dining room, a bar is open around the clock. Internet is available for free.

Sports enthusiasts play tennis, billiards, volleyball and other games. The owners of the Capsel took care of the organization of walking and bus excursions. Mostly tourists visit the Sudak fortress, the botanical garden, the village of New World.

The accommodation fee at this campsite (excluding additional services) is 300 - 2600 rubles. This amount includes:

• cleaning rooms and grounds;
• Internet connection;
• access to showers and sanitary rooms.

For three meals a day in the campsite, 450 rubles per day are charged. In recent years, relatively few people travel to Capsel.

For budget leisure, you can also choose camping “Away at the Joker”. He began to operate on the seashore in 2016. The place is located in the resort village of Malorechensky and is famous for its abundance of greenery. The unusual atmosphere and comfort are created thanks to the shady alleys, forest glades and flower beds. Once there was a recreation center. The new owners received it in an abandoned form, and then managed to significantly improve the condition. A major reconstruction made it possible to organize comfortable areas for separate tents and caravans on 2.5 hectares. The entire territory is covered by unlimited Internet.

Tourists can rely on plugging in, water supply, outdoor showers and washbasins. Trash bins prepared. There is a dining room. You can also use:

• table for tennis players;
• braziers;
• street arbor of a large area.

They will offer to stay with a motorhome for 450-950 rubles. Tent sites are leased for 350-500 rubles. The exact cost depends on the specific place.

In the immediate vicinity of Yalta there is another excellent campsite - Glade of Fairy Tales. It offers amazing views of the surrounding mountains. The air in this place has an impressive healing effect. Moreover, the proximity to Mount Stavri-Kaya, the relative wildness of the area did not prevent the complex from being equipped with the basic benefits of civilization. Autocamping is adjacent to the Yalta Nature Reserve.

You can enjoy juniper and pine trees right in the parking lot. For the settlement of travelers prepared wooden log cabins and the main (capital) building. Camping is prohibited, but campers and caravans can be set up on a designated site. Tourists have access to a restaurant, pool, playground.

For a day, a place on the Glade of Fairy Tales will cost 1350 rubles. The disadvantage of camping is the large distance to the sea.

If tourists like Otradnoye more, they need to look at the Ripario Hotel Group. A car stop there costs 580 rubles, if just people without cars stop, the fee will be 280 rubles. Guests under 5 years old will be accepted free of charge; however, since camping is the territory of the hotel, there are too many people, which is inconvenient for those who want privacy.

Fans of budget holidays on the Sea of ​​Azov can take a closer look at the auto camping “Sun”. Nearby is the legendary Sivash Lake. Guests can offer four-bed houses with the usual amenities and a couple of two-story cottages. Water supply does not cause any problems. Car camping has a dining room.

Since the depth of the sea is relatively small here, it warms up very early. The beach strip is covered with a mixture of shells and sand. At the very entrance to the sea there is only sand. The fee for placing 1 guest is at least 400 rubles. Parking is available at no extra charge.

The complex "Privetnoye" is located in the village of the same name. It is adjacent to the beach. The owners took care of the preparation of dining rooms and cafes. There is a barbecue and billiard room at the campsite. Internet access is provided, there is also:

• essential goods store;
• food stalls;
• toilet and shower rooms.

An object such as the Cote d'Azur is distinguished by a wide sandy beach and a gentle slope to the water. Its characteristic feature is the warm shallow sea, the bottom of which is covered with sand. Shade canopies, shower cabins and toilets are also equipped here. There are separate smoking areas and fountains with drinking water, as well as cabins for changing clothes.

Lifeguards are on duty at the beach all day. Organized protection of the territory. You can settle here for 150 rubles per day (with a surcharge of 100 rubles for access to electricity and 50 rubles for parking the car). Children under 11 years old will be accepted at no extra charge. Using the dining room and laundry room is quite beneficial.

It is therefore useful to take a closer look at camping at the Coronelli recreation center. Yes, it is located 300 m from the beach, but this is fully offset by other benefits.

You can stop with one car at Coronelli for 100 rubles. If tourists pitch tents, then for 1 guest they will charge a fee of 200 rubles. But those who choose accommodation in the rooms will have to deposit at least 350 rubles from one client. Guests note that the distance to the sea can create some inconvenience. In addition, mosquitoes sometimes bother.

Gradually Crimean leisure is being improved and developed.A striking example of this is the ultramodern camping "Olenevka Village". This is a whole complex of 2 blocks with a bungalow. Each bungalow has a pair of rooms, both with separate verandas. "Marine" quarter is adjacent to the beach strip.

But in the "Crimean" part of the "Olenevka Village" ordinary bungalows are supplemented with 250 places for tents or vans. Nearby are large sandy beaches that overlook an exceptionally clear sea. This circumstance, together with the abundance of the underwater world, attracts divers and surfers. The campsite administration took care of the availability of cafes and shops, the area for children’s games and attractions, the rental of various equipment and gear.

Choosing places to stop on the seashore, you need to carefully study each point. Many campsites have serious flaws. So, the field camp in Foros is very small. Finding a suitable place even for a modest tent is very difficult there. Moreover, oncoming cars drive away with great difficulty. And one more minus - the road to the beach is too long.

It is undesirable to stop at the Simeiz camp near the water park. There is completely no beach in the usual sense. The distance to the normal coast is 700 m. In addition, the high price is accompanied by a lack of electricity, there is no hot water in this camp. The situation is aggravated by the accumulation of cars parked in forbidden places.

The Ripario Hotel Group is definitely on the list of the best campsites. There is a dedicated manager who clearly monitors the order. You can arrange a meeting for arrivals. The territory can most likely be called not a campsite, but a platform for placing motorhomes and caravans. Otherwise, the quality of the arrangement is quite acceptable.

Tourists are issued with individual guest cards that can be used to access the infrastructure of the hotel complex. It includes:

• electric cars transporting people across the territory;
• swimming pool;
• sports grounds;
• beach strip with sunbeds and awnings;
• gym room;
• animation services;
• children play room.

The promenade serves as a venue for discos. There is also a bar and restaurant. Events are held according to the plan, according to which children are mostly entertained during the day, and adults in the evening.

Another suitable option is Khimik camping, located in Koktebel. Its guests settle in a villa of the XIX century, surrounded by a chic juniper forest.

The number of rooms is relatively small, the fee starts at 600 rubles per day. If you stay in a tent, then they will take 50 rubles for a place, plus 150 pay extra for the guest himself and 70 for the car. For connection to the power grid take 100 rubles. But at the same time, if you only need to charge the gadgets, a fee is not required. At the campsite, they are ready to provide travelers with accessories for table and outdoor games.

In addition to general descriptions, it is appropriate to get acquainted with the estimates of campsites in the Crimea in the opinion of tourists themselves.

A visit to the coastal village leaves many people with conflicting feelings. There you can rent a comfortable room for 1,500 rubles a day, but the landscape around it is more like a horror movie scenery. Cape Tarkhankut looks wonderful. Employees at all campsites, with rare exceptions, act professionally and behave kindly.

Camping "At the Joker" is recognized as a very cozy and comfortable place. There are very good conditions for fishing. Nearby is a market with affordable prices. Camping "Fishing" is also very popular. Already at the entrance to it it is noticeable how many people are going to rest there.

Positive assessments are also given by an unequipped camping site on the Arabat Spit. At the same time, it is noted that the coastal strip there is not too convenient for young children. On the western coast of the peninsula, it is recommended to stop at campsites:

• Sunset;
• "Belyaus";
• "Cote d'Azur";
• Glamping.
