Everything you need to know about camping in the Crimea

The Crimean peninsula is traditionally associated with relaxing on the beach in organized institutions. But this stereotype can be broken if you use camping. It is only necessary to know all the nuances and subtleties of this sphere in order to eliminate errors.

A trip to the campsite in the Crimea is quite attractive. The main thing is to find out all the details in advance in order to bypass the sections of the route being repaired and the associated traffic jams. A close examination of the situation shows that the Crimean auto camping has not yet reached the level that is typical for European countries. The peninsula is replete with reserves, so do not think that it is enough to drive away by car, and calm down on this.

Before installing a campground or joining an already used parking lot, it is imperative that you check the specific area. If he was chosen by scolopendra, karakurt or other animals, tourists take great risks. Setting tents on wild beaches is also in question.

The Crimean peninsula is distinguished by windy weather. Do not save on installing additional storm braces. If you can not fix the tent by all the rules, you should use the stones to press down the main delays.

Water supply in the Crimea is another sore problem. It is hard to find springs in the mountains, and sometimes you have to look for them for a long time. Therefore, it makes sense to preload the car with additional water. It is better and more reliable than to search for it at a critical moment or to ask the locals. “Savages” and visitors to organized campgrounds can buy food in almost all villages and villages, because the trade is well developed.

Help to diversify the diet fishing, nuts and hazel. Eat only well-known plants. At the slightest doubt, it is better to refuse such a thought It is necessary to remember that the cultivation of fires in the Crimea is strictly regulated. They are forbidden to kindle in reserves and relict forests.

Therefore, you should definitely stock up on a gas burner. One such field site will allow to cook food, boil water for two or three tourists. As for latrines, they usually stand out clearly on wild beaches. It is necessary to learn this from those travelers who have already been there before.

Violators of this rule may face conflicts. Yes, and about his subsequent return to the same coast is worth considering. Comfortable "wild" parking attracts the attention of most tourists. This means that secluded leisure is possible only on remote sites. Spending time and gas 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 waters. However, the coves and bays in the summer months are almost empty. The bulk of travelers seeking to relax on the 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 we must bear in mind that picking up mushrooms and berries is not allowed everywhere. Poisonous vegetation is also found in Crimea.

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

The idea to get up in the Crimea by savages with a tent is quite attractive to many people. If you have a car, you can get to almost any point of the peninsula. There is no attachment to the resort areas. The cost of living in a campsite on average is less than even in low-cost hotels or the private sector. Lifetime at a particular place is determined only by the tourists themselves, and if they don’t like something, you can always get ready for a trip and move somewhere else.

But it is important to understand that tent rest has serious disadvantages. All the planning of the trip and its organization (as opposed to the options with vouchers) falls on the shoulders of the tourists themselves. You have to watch out for stray dogs, dangerous snakes, spiders and some insects. Campers must boil all the water before drinking.

Stopping at free places allows you to enjoy the free mode of the day. Tourists who have chosen accommodation in campgrounds can choose entertainment suitable for themselves. Since these places are not overloaded by other travelers, the air will be cleaner than in the mass resorts. This provides additional health benefits.

To rest on the wild coast, which is usually poorly equipped, you will have to take a tent with you. In addition to it, you will need:

• warm outerwear;
• sleeping bags;
• durable hiking shoes;
• hats for protection from rain, wind and sun;
• sunscreen;
• electric lights;
• repellents;
• standard travel kits.

You can not ignore the selection of products for placement in the campsite. The range may vary slightly, but all or almost all travelers will need:

• tea;
• sugar;
• crackers (better than home drying);
• canned food 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 on the resorts themselves can happen different troubles. Therefore you should definitely have your passport and medical insurance policy with you. They will help you get emergency help in a critical situation.

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

Picking up a tent, it also does not make sense to give preference to giant specimens. They are inconvenient to carry, and significantly limit the choice of places where you can get up. As for a change of clothes, one set is enough. One is worn - the other in bags or in a wash. The exceptions are 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 hygienic accessories.

It is very important to prepare garbage bags. Without them, the collection of all trash and litter is very complicated. It is useful to prepare a metal bucket and a shovel, so that you can quickly extinguish fires during departure (departure).

Tent cities rarely allow free admission or check-in. The fee is associated with the need to organize a full-fledged infrastructure:

• shower and toilet cabins;
• ready-made tents;
• access to drinking water;
• dining rooms or kitchens;
• braziers and firewood for them;
• variety of entertainment.

Camping park "Kapsel" must be found near Cape Meganom, moving in the direction of the Solar Valley, in the Sudak region. The park's organizers provided for equipping it with showers and sanitary facilities, and drinking water supply. Travelers can use internet access. There is a cafe and a billiard room.

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

• well equipped kitchen;
• showers and sinks;
• rain tents;
• tent rental.

On the way to the Tarkhankut lighthouse, near the village of Olenevka, Atlesh camping camp is located. You can stop there only 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 worthwhile to look at the camping camp "Bastion", which is located 1400 meters from Foros. You can live there for at least 10 days in a row, they do not occupy for less time. The fee is about 4,000 rubles. In return, they provide tents with two seats, three meals a day. Various hikes and excursions are organized, equipment is provided.

A full-fledged "wild" rest implies the removal from organized campgrounds. There are many quiet corners in the Crimea where there are no people and where you can easily build a miniature camp. Intermediate option - paid parking at the campsite without being present in it.

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

The landmark serves rock Shan-Kai. This peak is surrounded by pine thickets, vineyards. Attractive features of the area are the mountain lake and a number of underground keys. The shore of the lake was equipped with fireplaces and places to set up a tent. Nearby there is a stable.

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

Wild campgrounds are often pitched in the area of ​​the Zelenogorye village, located between Sudak and Alushta. The area around is covered with dense forests, abundantly covering mountain peaks. Because of difficult slopes, ascents and difficult paths, Zelenogorye is famous for its rare solitude. The perimeter of the village because it is very often used for campgrounds. Mostly they are broken near the waterfalls of Panagia.

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

In the Sevastopol region for lovers of wild camping fit a modest village Ternovka. It opens suddenly for those approaching when suddenly thick beech and pine forests part. Vegetation reaches the very shore of Lake Ternovsky. Arbors with benches help to make the rest more pleasant.

Sunset Camping is located in the village Olenevka.To go from Evpatoria will have 100 km on a completely monotonous highway. The administration of the campsite carefully ensures that guests first picked up places to stop, and only then returned and checked out. In itself, the choice of a suitable point on a vast territory is not easy. Experienced tourists try to get up close to the economic unit so that you can connect to the electrical grid.

Water in this place may seem excessively cool, especially to those who are used to swimming in the Sea of ​​Azov. We'll have to watch out for the corners. Most people staying at Sunset visit the Equator dining room. But the quality of food there and its value can not be compared with the offers of canteens of the southern coast. To whom it is necessary to be prepared for the fact that the neighbors camping will constantly change.

Good camping "Pine Forest" is located about 2 km from the center of the village Peschanoe. Will have to go there on a scenic road.

Tents visitors break directly under the pines. Because you can enjoy and pine aromas, and light sea breeze at the same time. The coast is located about 300 m from the camp. But you should not count on clean and clear water. It is as turbid as it is on the entire line north of Sevastopol.

Nearby is a 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. No one around will turn on the music, annoying television programs will not tire too. For food will have to go to the center of the village. Most campers simply enjoy the sea and ripening watermelons.

As for the camping "The Lost World", its attractive properties are associated, no matter how paradoxical it may sound, with a very bad road. She allowed to keep intact the corner of nature. But this did not prevent the owners to prepare comfortable toilets and showers, conduct electricity and supply the guests with tasty food.

The seashore here is covered with pebbles of a large fraction. Because of her 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 for those in need of peace and a sense of unity with nature. Extremely romantic are the nights spent alone on the beach. To pay for additional amenities still have, and not so little.

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

A good substitute is the Kapsel car camping. It is located in the gap between the caps of Alchak and Megan. The base has been working since Soviet times, but in recent years it has become more comfortable and more comfortable here. The rest has become more varied, additional accommodation options have appeared. If you are not satisfied with a tent or motor home, then you can move into a comfortable wooden house. "Kapsel" stretched for almost 2 km along the sea, the whole area is well guarded 24/7.

The advantage of this camping is the exceptional purity of the air. 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 "Kapsel" will be able to simultaneously fit 350 tents or cars. 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 minimally 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 puffs, refrigerators, televisions, showers and toilets. Judging by the descriptions, "Kapsel" is a miniature town with an advanced infrastructure.

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

Sports lovers play tennis, billiards, volleyball and other games. The owners of "Kapsel" took care of the organization of pedestrian and bus tours. Most tourists visit the Sudak fortress, the botanical garden, the village of New World.

The fee for living in this campsite (excluding additional services) is 300 - 2600 rubles. This amount includes:

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

For three meals a day in the camping dining room they charge 450 rubles per day. In recent years, relatively few people go to Kapsel.

For budget leisure, you can also choose the camping "Visiting the Joker". He began to act on the seashore in 2016. The place is located in the resort village of Malorechensky and is famous for its abundance of greenery. Unusual atmosphere and comfort are created thanks to shady alleys, forest glades and flower beds. Once there was a recreation center. New owners received it in the abandoned form, and then managed to significantly improve the condition. Serious reconstruction allowed to organize comfortable areas for individual tents and caravans on 2.5 hectares. The whole territory is covered by unlimited internet.

Tourists can expect to connect to outlets, water supply, summer showers and washbasins. Trash bins prepared. Works dining room. You can also use:

• table for tennis players;
• barbecues;
• outdoor gazebo large area.

Stop with the motorhome offered for 450-950 rubles. Platforms for tents are rented for 350-500 rubles. The exact cost depends on the specific location.

In the immediate vicinity of Yalta is another excellent camping - "Glade of fairy tales." From there you have an amazing view of the surrounding mountains. The air in this place has an impressive healing effect. At the same time, the proximity to the mountain Stavri-Kaya, the relative wildness of the area did not prevent to equip the complex with the basic benefits of civilization. Autocamping closely adjacent to the reserve of Yalta.

Right in the parking lot, you can enjoy juniper and pine trees. For the settlement of travelers prepared wooden houses and the main (capital) building. Camping is prohibited here, but campers and motorhomes can be put on the designated area. Tourists are available restaurant, swimming pool, playground.

During the day, a place on the Glade of Fairy Tales will cost 1,350 rubles. The disadvantage of camping is a long distance to the sea.

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

Fans of budget holidays on the Azov Sea, you can look at the auto-camping "Sun". Nearby is the legendary lake Sivash. Guests can offer four-bed houses with the usual amenities and a couple of two-story cottages. Water supply does not cause any problems. Camping has a dining room.

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

Complex "Privetnoye" is located in the village of the same name. It closely adjoins the beach. The owners took care of the preparation of canteens and cafes. Works at the campsite barbecue and billiard room. Internet access is available, also available:

• convenience store;
• food stalls;
• toilet and shower facilities.

Such an object as "Cote d'Azur" stands out with a wide sandy beach and a gentle slope to the water. Its characteristic feature is a warm shallow sea, the bottom of which is covered with sand. Equipped here and shadow canopies, cabins for shower and toilets. There are separate smoking areas and fountains with drinking water, as well as changing cabins.

All day long there are lifeguards on the beach. Protected 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). Children up to 11 years old will be accepted without extra charge. The use of dining and laundry is quite advantageous.

It is therefore useful to look at camping at the recreation center "Coronelli." Yes, it is removed at 300 meters from the beach, but this is fully offset by other benefits.

You can stop with one car in Coronelli for 100 rubles. If tourists set up tents, then for 1 guest will charge 200 rubles. But those who choose accommodation in rooms will have to pay at least 350 rubles per customer. Guests say that the distance to the sea can create some inconvenience. In addition, mosquitoes sometimes bother.

Gradually, the Crimean leisure time is being improved and developed. A striking example of this is the ultramodern camping “Olenevka Village”. This is a complex of 2 blocks with bungalows. In any bungalow there are a couple of rooms, both with separate verandas. “Sea” quarter closely adjacent to the beach.

But in the “Crimean” part of the “Olenevka Village” the usual bungalows are supplemented with 250 places for tents or vans. Nearby are large sandy beaches that overlook the extremely clear sea. This circumstance, together with the abundance of the underwater world, attracts divers and surfers. The campsite administration has taken care of the availability of cafes and shops, a zone for children's games and attractions, the rental of various equipment and equipment.

Selecting places to stop at the seashore, you need to carefully examine each point. Many campgrounds are seriously flawed. So, the field camp in Foros is very small. To find a suitable place even for a modest tent there is very difficult. Moreover, oncoming cars disperse with great difficulty. And one more minus - the road to the beach is too long.

It is undesirable to stop in a campsite in Simeiz 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 the lack of electricity, there is no hot water in this camp. The situation is aggravated by the accumulation of cars parked in prohibited places.

Absolutely exactly in the list of the best bases for camping includes Ripario Hotel Group. There is a dedicated manager who clearly follows order. You can arrange to meet arriving. The territory can rather be called not a camping site, but a platform for the placement of motor homes and caravans. The rest of the quality of the arrangement is quite acceptable.

Tourists are given individual guest cards, which allow access to the infrastructure of the hotel complex. It includes:

• electric cars carrying people around the territory;
• pool;
• playgrounds for sports;
• beach strip with sun beds and awnings;
• gym with exercise equipment;
• animation services;
• children's playroom.

The embankment 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 amusing during the day, and adults in the evening.

Another suitable option is camping "Khimik", located in Koktebel. Its guests are lodged in a XIX century villa, surrounded by a luxurious juniper forest.

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

In addition to general descriptions, it is appropriate to review the estimates of campgrounds in the Crimea, according to the tourists themselves.

A visit to the village Coastal leaves many conflicting feelings. There you can rent a comfortable room for 1500 rubles a day, but around the landscape is more like a horror movie scenery. Cape Tarkhankut looks wonderful. Employees in 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 "Rybachye" is also very popular. Already at the entrance to it is noticeable how many people are going there to rest.

Positive estimates also give an unequipped camping site on the Arabat Spit. It is noted that the coastal strip there is not very convenient for young children. On the west coast of the peninsula is recommended to stay in campgrounds:

• Sunset;
• Belaus;
• "Cote d'Azur";
• GLAMPING.
