Crowds of nature and camping lovers stay at a growing number of campsites throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina every year. Waking up beneath the green trees, listening to the chirping of birds, the first rays of the sun breaking through the clouds, and the close proximity of rivers and lakes, is not something you can be exposed to and explore if you rent an apartment or hotel, which is why many people decide to go on a camping trip.
You will be delighted by the evening gatherings held at campsites. Do not be surprised if you hear a song or the sound of a guitar in the camp because it fits in the setting and atmosphere of this type of holiday.
Camping on the Una River
Many people want to spend their holidays on the banks of one of the cleanest European rivers. Let your eyes rest as you gaze upon the river. You can do it from a camper too. There is a campsite in Bosanska Krupa that appeals to a large number of campers. Covering 10,000 square metres and sitting right next to the Una River, the campsite is open from April to September every year. It offers guests sunbathing and swimming platforms, a terrace above the river, free internet access, football, volleyball, and badminton courts, a table tennis table, and a children’s playground with a slide, swings, a see-saw, and a wooden house. Lovers of the Una River also like to stay at campsites in Bihać. The Una Aqua Centre situated on the river’s heart-shaped islets is quite well-known. Spending the night in a tent, below a sky filled with millions of stars, on the Japodski otoci (Japodi’s Islets) feels like spending the night in a “million-star hotel”. Next to the camp, there is a restaurant and a lounge bar, and during your stay here you will be able to enjoy live music performances, the open-air cinema nights, and a host of other events. While you are there, you can enjoy exploring the area near the Una River, but you can also go swimming, fishing, rafting, or go on bike tours, play darts and badminton…
