kampiranje - reka Kolpa

Camping along Kolpa river features camping in nature, close to greenery and river that ensure endless fun and relaxation. Children enjoy bathing and swimming in summer months, boarding on SUP boards, kayaks and in rafts. Kolpa is peaceful rivers with some smaller rapids and waterfalls in the upper and middle part of the river. Rafting is great for all family members as the descent is slow and soft.

There are several well-arranged cycling and hiking trails - and every year they add new ones. It is interesting to try cycling bike Kolpa e-bike from Metlika and Stari trg as well as 10km walking path from Radence to Damlje. We surely advice to consult the camp's staff who has lots of information and maps to share with guests.

You might have heard that panel fence has been set along the river by government to prevent the migration flows from the southern part of the Europe. Some locations have been lucky and have avoided the fence, while the others weren't so lucky. Where the fence was set-up it is in green color to be as little disturbing as possible, while doors have been added on several parts to ensure access to the river (for example at locations Vinica, Griblje, Krasinec). In several campsites, panels were built out before or after the campsite to enable peaceful holidays, while at some locations you will not see fence at all - like in camping Kanu Radenci for example.

We have visited all the campsites from East to West, where river is most peaceful. First we are presenting partner campsites that offer discount on our Avtokampi Camping Card that can be ordered for free at our website.
